The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior SDET who thrives in high-performance, data-heavy environments to lead the quality engineering initiatives across our Crawler Pipeline, Platform, Search PODs.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys breaking complex distributed systems, designing intelligent automated test frameworks, and ensuring system reliability and correctness across AI-driven, data-intensive workflows, microservices & event driven systems.
What You Will Achieve & Key Responsibilities
Own the test strategy, automation, and reliability validation for the Crawler, Platform, and Search services.
Design end-to-end automated testing frameworks for microservices and asynchronous data pipelines (Python, Go, AWS).
Build robust integration, regression & Performance test suites to validate data ingestion, transformation, and indexing workflows.
Develop synthetic and chaos testing frameworks to identify edge cases and performance bottlenecks in large-scale crawling and enrichment systems.
Collaborate with Platform engineers to instrument observability and alerting in the Central Logging and Monitoring stack (e.g.,AWS OpenSearch, AWS Managed Prometheus, Grafana).
Partner with Search engineers to ensure query relevance, accuracy, and latency meet performance SLAs.
Introduce shift-left testing practices, including static analysis, CI/CD gate validation, and reproducible test environments.
Create automated performance benchmarking tools to measure throughput and cost per operation, unit cost economics across distributed components.
Contribute to internal QA tooling and frameworks for AI API evaluation, schema validation, and data consistency checks.
Drive a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.
Own quality across mission-critical systems that power product data intelligence for the construction industry.
Work with a lean, high-impact engineering team that values automation, performance, and pragmatic problem solving.
Why This Matters
A world-class automation and quality strategy is one of the highest-leverage investments we can make. By designing intelligent test frameworks and validating behavior across microservices, data flows, and event-driven pipelines, you’ll directly enable the team to push the boundaries of speed, scale, and reliability.
Our Crawler Pipeline, Platform, and Search PODs process massive volumes of data every minute, and any gap in quality can ripple across the entire company. In this role, you’re not just “testing” systems; you’re engineering the reliability layer that lets every team ship faster, smarter, and with confidence. When you raise the bar here, the whole organization levels up.
