Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

San Francisco, CA

At Qualia, we've built the leading B2B real estate technology that transforms the home buying and selling experience into a simple, secure, and enjoyable process. Our SMB and Enterprise products bring together users from across the real estate ecosystem---homebuyers and sellers, lenders, title and escrow agents, and real estate agents---onto a single shared digital closing platform, providing greater clarity and transparency to real estate transactions. Today, through our business customers across the country, millions of consumers use Qualia to close on homes every year.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

As the first SDET hire at Qualia focusing on UI automation, you will be responsible for maintaining and expanding our automated UI tests written in Cypress. While the test framework is already in place, you will take ownership of the existing suite, ensuring that it remains stable, efficient, and scalable. You’ll also be tasked with triaging failing tests, managing test pipelines within our CI/CD process, and enabling the QA team to independently manage and maintain the test suite going forward.

Additionally, you will be involved in test reporting and implementing best practices for test writing, maintenance, and troubleshooting across the engineering team. Your work will help maintain the quality and reliability of Qualia’s web applications, and you’ll have a direct impact on improving the overall product experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Test Writing & Maintenance: Write and maintain Cypress-based automated UI tests to ensure full coverage of Qualia’s web applications
  • Test Triage & Troubleshooting: Actively monitor and triage failing tests, investigating potential issues and collaborating with developers to resolve root causes quickly
  • CI/CD Collaboration: Monitor and maintain the test pipelines, ensuring smooth and reliable execution of automated UI tests. Triage any issues that arise, and work closely with the Infrastructure team to ensure fast resolution of test-related failures within the CI/CD process
  • Enablement & Mentorship: Empower the QA team to take ownership of the UI test suite by mentoring them on test writing, best practices, troubleshooting, and the Cypress framework. Help the team become self-sufficient in managing automated UI tests
  • Test Reporting & Metrics: Use the Cypress Dashboard or equivalent for test reporting and metrics. Provide clear visibility into test results and trends to stakeholders
  • Continuous Improvement: Lead initiatives to improve the UI automation framework for better test performance, reliability, and maintainability. Introduce improvements in test strategy and automation tooling where necessary

YOUR BACKGROUND THAT LIKELY MAKES YOU A MATCH

  • Experience: 4+ years of experience in test automation, with a strong focus on UI testing and Cypress test automation
  • Cypress Expertise: Extensive experience with Cypress, including writing, maintaining, and debugging automated UI tests. Comfort with expanding the Cypress framework and optimizing tests for speed and reliability
  • CI/CD Familiarity: Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and experience with integrating automated tests into the pipeline. Able to triage test execution failures in CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions) and collaborate with the Infrastructure team to resolve issues
  • Test Maintenance: Proven experience in maintaining and triaging automated tests, with an emphasis on ensuring test suite stability and reliability
  • Mentorship & Collaboration: Strong communication and mentoring skills, with a passion for teaching and enabling others, especially the QA team, in best practices for test automation
  • UI Automation: In-depth knowledge of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and the challenges of UI test automation in modern web applications
  • Analytical Skills: Strong problem-solving skills to diagnose and address issues with failing tests and ensure the health of the test suite
  • Agile Experience: Comfortable working in an Agile development environment, collaborating in sprints with a focus on continuous improvement and quality
  • Test Reporting Tools: Familiarity with Cypress Dashboard, GitHub, and/or Jira integrations for test reporting, analysis, and metrics
  • SaaS or Real Estate / FinTech: Experience with SaaS applications or the real estate or financial technology spaces is a plus
  • Test Management Tools: Experience with Testrail or other test management tools for managing test cases and tracking test results
  • While this role is based in San Francisco, California, we're open to exploring remote possibilities for qualified candidates

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
