Who You Are

As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you help ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of broadly used software capabilities by designing, executing, and improving effective testing practices.

- Design structured, reusable, automation-ready test cases that can be used by Quality Engineers and automated test frameworks.

- Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate test case creation, expand test coverage, identify edge cases, and improve test effectiveness while applying human judgment to validate and refine outputs.

- Analyze functional requirements and specifications to identify gaps, clarify expected behavior, and define test strategies that verify complete coverage.

- Partner with developers to troubleshoot defects, isolate complex issues involving dependent software components, and communicate findings clearly to stakeholders.

- Set up, perform, and interpret performance and load tests to evaluate product behavior under expected and stressed conditions.

- Analyze, document, and report test results, quality metrics, and testing status from an overall product perspective.

- Develop and maintain test scripts, test cases, and software test and performance measurement tools using appropriate programming languages and software applications.

- Continuously improve test plans, scripts, and cases based on quality data, production incidents, lessons learned, and team priorities.
