Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

Luxoft, Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

Project description

We build an in-house trading platform covering order management, execution, and data analysis. The front end is a set of TypeScript/React apps running in a desktop container and streaming real-time data. We're hiring a hands-on SDET to own UI test automation: extend our Playwright framework, make streaming, multi-window workflows testable, and add quality gates to CI, including front-end performance. You'll co-architect and co-own a unified testing framework with our backend SDET. It covers UI, API, messaging, data and performance tests in one place.

Responsibilities

Co-architect and co-own, with our backend SDET, a unified testing framework that covers every area we test:

• Shared foundations: fixtures, test data, configuration, environments and reporting are shared across UI, API, Kafka, database and performance suites.

• Cross-layer scenarios: one scenario can cross layers. For example, a test places an order in the UI, then checks the resulting event and the database record.

• One quality view: results from every suite feed a single view of release quality.

• Design, build and maintain end-to-end and component tests with Playwright and TypeScript for trading and analytics workflows.

• Extend our shared test toolkit: page objects, fixtures, and mocks of desktop-container APIs.

• Build front-end harnesses for real-time data: mocked WebSocket and REST responses, controlled test data, and deterministic replay of streaming updates.

• Cover UI failure modes: disconnects and reconnects, expired sessions, permission failures, bursty feeds, and stale data.

Own front-end performance testing:

• Startup and responsiveness: measure app startup and time-to-first-data, and check that the UI stays responsive under high update rates.

• Grid behaviour at scale: measure render and scroll performance of grids with tens of thousands of rows.

• Container resources: track memory growth and leaks in long-running desktop sessions, and CPU cost per window.

• Regression gates: turn the results into budgets that fail CI on a regression.

Build and maintain isolated, on-demand test environments on Linux and AWS:

• Lifecycle: environments are created per branch or per run, start with seeded data and known state, and are torn down automatically.

• Isolation: test runs don't interfere with each other or with shared environments.

• Validate front-end/back-end contracts and payload schemas.

• Run UI suites in CI/CD: sharded parallel runs, scheduled regressions, and reporting on pull requests.

• Make failures diagnosable: Playwright traces, screenshots and video, and correlation with telemetry.

• Work with UI engineers, business analysts and traders to automate critical workflows and define QA acceptance criteria.

• Use AI-assisted tools where they help with writing, maintaining and triaging tests.

Skills

• Must have

• 5+ years of UI test automation, including designing or significantly extending a framework.

• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js skills, with substantial hands-on Playwright experience. Strong Cypress or Selenium experience plus willingness to move to Playwright is also fine.

• Working Python skills (pytest, Playwright for Python): test tooling, data setup, backend checks inside UI scenarios, and contributing to the shared framework.

• Experience testing React apps with complex data grids (AG Grid or similar), dynamic forms and heavy client-side state.

• Experience mocking network traffic in the browser (REST and WebSocket) and testing authentication flows.

Front-end performance testing experience:

• Profiling: Chrome DevTools Performance and Memory panels, and the Lighthouse and performance APIs.

• Diagnosis: finding long tasks, layout thrashing and memory leaks.

• Budgets: setting performance budgets and enforcing them in CI.

• CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps (preferred) or Jenkins/GitHub Actions, and Git.

Experience building isolated test environments:

• Linux: comfortable on the command line, with shell scripting, processes, networking and log troubleshooting.

• Docker: Docker and Docker Compose.

• AWS: EC2, ECS or EKS, S3, IAM, VPC and CloudWatch.

• Infrastructure as code: Terraform, CloudFormation or CDK.

• Strong reliability habits: isolated tests, deterministic waits instead of sleeps, controlled retries, and triage of flaky tests.

• Experience with test reporting and traceability (Playwright reports, Allure, Azure Test Plans, TestRail).

• Clear communication and good documentation.

• Nice to have

• Trading or buy-side experience: OMS/EMS, algos, positions, allocations, or risk.

• Java exposure, enough to read service code and contribute to backend suites in the shared framework.

• Desktop container automation: Electron, OpenFin, or similar.

• Component testing (Vitest or Jest). Storybook visual or interaction testing.

• Accessibility and visual-regression testing.

• React Profiler and familiarity with React rendering performance (memoization, virtualization).

• OpenTelemetry or similar real-user-monitoring tools, and using production RUM data to pick performance test scenarios.
