Software Development Engineer in Test - SDET

Location: Hyderabad (Work from Office)

Work Timings: 2:30 PM – 11:30 PM IST

Team: Engineering

Company: Krimatix

Role Overview

Krimatix is building a metadata-driven platform for industrial execution, inspection, and integrity workflows. Core platform behavior including UI rendering, validations, workflows, and business rules is dynamically generated using JSON configurations, schema-driven logic, and workflow engines.

We are looking for a Senior SDET with strong automation engineering expertise who can build scalable, reliable, and high-signal automation systems across UI, API, and platform layers.

This is an automation-first engineering role, not a traditional manual QA position.

You will work on systems where:

• UI is dynamically generated
• Workflows are configuration-driven
• Platform behavior changes through metadata and schema updates

Your automation must validate not only code changes, but also configuration-driven behavior, workflow logic, schema evolution, and multi-tenant platform stability.

Key Responsibilities

Automation Engineering

• Design and develop scalable automation frameworks using TypeScript and Node.js
• Build robust UI and end-to-end automation using Playwright
• Implement reusable architecture patterns including:
• Fixtures
• Helpers and utilities
• Modular test abstractions
• Improve automation reliability by reducing:
• Flaky tests
• Timing issues
• Environment instability

Platform & Workflow Validation

• Validate:
• Dynamic UI rendering
• Conditional logic and computed fields
• Workflow engines and branching behavior
• Feature flags and configuration-driven functionality
• Ensure schema correctness, version compatibility, and migration safety
• Validate RBAC and multi-tenant data isolation scenarios

API & Integration Testing

• Build automated API validation for REST and/or GraphQL services
• Implement contract testing using Pact or equivalent frameworks
• Use mocking and service virtualization to isolate dependencies and improve test determinism

Non-Functional Testing

• Build and execute:
• Performance and load tests
• Security-focused validation aligned with OWASP practices
• Accessibility checks for critical user journeys

CI/CD Quality Ownership

• Integrate automation suites into Azure DevOps pipelines
• Implement release-blocking quality gates
• Publish actionable test reports and diagnostics
• Improve CI stability, execution speed, and signal quality

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in SDET / QA roles with strong focus on automation engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• Playwright
• TypeScript / JavaScript
• API automation testing
• Proven experience:
• Building automation frameworks from scratch
• Improving automation reliability and reducing flaky tests
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills across UI, API, and backend layers

Strongly Preferred

• Experience testing:
• Metadata-driven platforms
• Workflow engines
• Low-code or highly configurable systems
• Experience with:
• Pact / contract testing
• OpenAPI or schema validation
• k6, JMeter, or Locust
• OWASP ZAP
• axe-core
• Docker-based test environments

Technology Stack

• UI & E2E: Playwright (TypeScript, Node.js)
• API Testing: Playwright API, Supertest
• Contract Testing: Pact
• Schema Validation: OpenAPI, AJV
• Performance Testing: k6
• Security Testing: OWASP ZAP
• Accessibility: axe-core
• CI/CD: Azure DevOps, Docker, Git

What Success Looks Like

• Automation is stable, scalable, and trusted by engineering teams
• Releases move with high confidence supported by strong automation coverage
• Metadata and configuration regressions are caught early in CI
• Test execution provides fast, reliable, and actionable feedback
• Production defect leakage reduces consistently over time
