PandaDoc is seeking a skilled technical lead to oversee the automation strategy across our engineering organization. As a Staff Software Developer in Test, you will define and execute company-wide test automation strategies to ensure scalability, reliability, and quality across all products.

This high-impact role involves influencing system design, mentoring engineers, and driving initiatives that improve the efficiency of our development lifecycle. You will collaborate closely with leadership to set engineering practices that standardize quality.

Our Stack:

  • AWS and Kubernetes are extensively used for provisioning and deploying workloads.
  • Cross-service communication utilizes NATS (migrating to gRPC), Kafka, Debezium for event-driven operations, RabbitMQ for Celery, and Temporal.io.

  2. Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to design systems with built-in testability and quality.
  3. Drive the adoption of best practices for automated testing, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
  4. Evaluate, implement, and manage advanced test automation tools and frameworks to optimize testing workflows.
  5. Optimize and enhance CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless integration of automated testing at every stage of development.
  6. Define, track, and analyze key quality metrics (e.g., test coverage, flakiness, execution time) to drive continuous improvement and informed decision-making.
  7. Mentor and guide other SDETs and software engineers, fostering a culture of quality, experimentation, and innovation.
  8. Advocate for and implement modern development and testing practices such as TDD, BDD, shift-left testing methodologies, etc.
  9. Collaborate with product and platform teams to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions.

Requirements:

  • Strong skills in Python, pytest, Selenium, and Java.

What We Offer:
