Job Title

Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (Senior SDET / SETI)

About the Role

Clover integrators and developers rely on Clover SDKs and hardware to build mission-critical applications for businesses worldwide. The SETI (Software Engineering for Test Infrastructure) team is responsible for testing Clover SDKs and hardware integrations, ensuring third-party developers have a resilient, scalable, and high-performing platform. Our state-of-the-art robot lab houses 40+ custom-built robots running automated test suites. These robots are controlled via REST microservices and managed through a centralized orchestration engine engineered by our team. Jenkins CI/CD pipelines drive test execution across numerous hardware configurations, connectivity protocols (WebSockets, REST, USB, Cloud), and 5+ language SDKs (Android, iOS/macOS, Windows, Java, JavaScript). We support full regression testing for continuous software releases while expanding automation framework capabilities for new payment features.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Test Strategy & Architecture: Design, write, and execute comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and automated suites for complex Android applications, REST APIs, and Clover SDK integration layers.
• Expand Automation Infrastructure: Develop and maintain robust, scalable automated test scripts and framework components using UIAutomator, Espresso, Java, and Python to interface with our custom robot automation lab.
• Lead Complex Root-Cause Analysis: Diagnose, isolate, and debug intermittent failures and regressions across a multi-tiered infrastructure (hardware, OS, SDKs, APIs, and network protocols).
• CI/CD Integration & Governance: Configure, optimize, and maintain Jenkins pipelines to automate regression suites, smoke testing, and release gating protocols.
• Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Partner closely with Development, Product, and Hardware teams to scope features, define non-functional requirements, identify test coverage gaps, and influence design for testability.
• Defect Ownership & Reporting: File high-quality defect reports using Jira, tracking issues through resolution and conducting post-mortem analysis to prevent future leakage.
• Mentor & Guide: Provide technical direction and code review support to distributed quality and development teams to elevate overall automation standards.

Experience You’ll Need to Have

• 6–10 years of progressive experience in Software Quality Engineering, SDET, or Software Development roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong Automation Experience: Hands-on experience developing, maintaining, and extending test automation frameworks in Object-Oriented languages (Java, Python, or C#).
• Mobile & API Testing: Proven proficiency with Android OS testing (adb debugging, logcat analysis, Android Studio) and RESTful API testing.
• CI/CD & DevOps Tools: Solid experience configuring and utilizing Jenkins pipelines, shell scripting (Bash), and version control systems (Git).
• Database & Environment Querying: Hands-on experience with SQL (MySQL) and Linux/Unix environments via SSH for log extraction and backend validation.
• Pragmatic Engineering Mindset: Demonstrated ability to independently prioritize complex tasks, troubleshoot intricate systems, and deliver reliable results in a fast-paced environment.

Experience that would be great to have

• Mobile Framework Mastery: Deep experience with mobile UI test frameworks such as UIAutomator, Espresso, or Appium.
• Payment & Hardware Domain Knowledge: Hands-on experience testing point-of-sale (POS) hardware, mobile payment flows, terminal SDKs, or EMV/PCI transaction architectures.
• Network & Connectivity Protocols: Familiarity testing across multi-protocol interfaces (WebSockets, REST, USB, Bluetooth, or Cloud bridges).
• Advanced Scripting: Proficiency with Groovy, Ruby, or JavaScript for build automation and test harness extensions.
