Build scalable test automation, strengthen engineering quality and accelerate release confidence with experienced SDET talent.
From automation framework development and API testing to CI/CD integration, performance validation and AI-assisted testing — bring software engineering discipline into quality.
Modern software delivery needs more than automated test scripts. It needs engineers who can design, build and maintain quality infrastructure.
Software Development Engineers in Test combine programming, testing strategy and system-level understanding to develop reliable automation frameworks, validate complex integrations and embed quality into development pipelines.

Understand SDET responsibilities, engineering skills and engagement options.
QA engineers focus on validating product quality through testing practices. SDETs typically combine testing knowledge with software development skills to design automation frameworks, write reusable test code and integrate validation into engineering pipelines. Responsibilities can overlap.
Common languages include Java, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript and C#. The right language depends on your application, automation framework and development environment.
Yes. Framework development can include architecture, reusable components, reporting, test data, execution configuration and CI/CD integration.
Yes. SDET work can include configuring automated test execution in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and other supported pipelines.
Yes. API automation, contract testing, integration validation, service mocking and distributed workflow testing are common SDET responsibilities.
SDET engineers can investigate unstable selectors, timing issues, environment dependencies, test isolation and data problems to improve suite reliability.
Engagement options can include an individual SDET, a dedicated SDET team or a managed test engineering model, depending on scope and needs.
SDET capabilities can support repeatable LLM evaluations, RAG testing, data validation and automated agent workflow checks, with suitable domain-specific expertise.
Share your application stack, preferred programming languages, automation objectives, required seniority and engagement expectations. Dawn can then discuss the appropriate SDET profile.
