Software Development Engineer in Test

Are you passionate about driving quality through code? DVT is on the lookout for experienced Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) who are ready to champion shift-left testing practices and elevate our engineering standards.

This is more than just a testing role, we’re looking for developers in test who can lead by example, coach teams, and embed quality at every level of the development lifecycle.

As an SDET at DVT, you’ll play a pivotal role in designing and reviewing unit, component, and contract tests, guiding developers in best practices, and ensuring our mobile and service-level testing strategies are robust and risk-informed. You’ll work across a modern tech stack including Java, React and Vert.x, and contribute to building scalable, maintainable automation frameworks.

The requirement is for a developer in test who will be experienced in primarily in creating and reviewing Unit Tests, Component tests and Contract tests. They should be able to articulate the differences of these different types of test and show examples as well as coach and mentor developers in the creation of good tests at these levels.

The person needs to be analytical and able to judge and justify why tests are being created at the level they are targeting: Based on risk, previous issues found, complexity, stability of the code etc.

The person needs to be versatile and comfortable with Mobile Apps testing and automation using tools such as Expresso and XCUI at a UI level but also with service level testing, creating and reviewing unit, contract and component tests.

This person will be a champion for shift left practices and should be able to show the distinctions between unit, component and contract tests with examples. Coaching of the dev teams and experience with building good frameworks is a requirement.

The person should be tenacious in an environment where developers are not used to creating good tests at the levels described and require attention to ensure best practices are followed.

Primary focus will be to automate or influence and track improvement in automation at the test levels described using a risk-based approach.
