Platform Engineer III

What you will do:

• Build tooling and metrics that make test quality visible, including reliability, flakiness, and coupling
• Establish code-coverage measurement and help teams close gaps in the highest-risk areas
• Improve service-to-service testing as our architecture becomes more distributed
• Integrate testing capabilities into CI/CD and developer workflows with Platform engineers
• Make great testing easier through better frameworks, documentation, and standards
• Help connect tests to product behavior and feature specifications
• Own projects end to end, from investigation to adoption, and measure their impact on quality
• 4–7 years in software engineering, or as an SDET with substantial software development responsibilities
• Proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Deep knowledge of testing strategies from unit through end-to-end, and hands-on use of frameworks such as pytest, Jest, Vitest, Cypress, or Playwright
• You’ve implemented CI/CD pipelines, including collecting and reporting on test results
• You’ve measured test suites through metrics such as coverage, reliability, execution time, or flakiness
• Ability to work cross-functionally to improve processes, and to bring in the right people when a problem needs broader input
• Strong written and verbal communication, including turning testing strategy into clear standards and documentation
• Comfort working independently once a problem is defined, and genuine curiosity about how software fails
