If you’re an experienced Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) looking to work on modern distributed systems, API-driven architectures, and enterprise-scale quality engineering, this is an outstanding opportunity. Dexian is actively hiring a Senior SDET who can own the complete testing lifecycleβfrom planning and strategy to automation, performance testing, and production quality assurance.
Unlike traditional QA roles where testing begins at the end of development, this position emphasizes Quality Engineering from the very beginning of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You’ll collaborate closely with developers, architects, product owners, and DevOps teams to ensure software quality is built into every stage of development.
