SDET Engineer
Opportunity Overview:
We’re looking for a senior-level automation engineer who will help raise the bar on release quality, environment reliability, and change safety across Cohere’s platform. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Platform, and SRE to build scalable automation, guardrails, and validation systems that reduce production risk while increasing delivery velocity.
This is not a “test scripts only” role. You’ll shape automation strategy, embed quality into the SDLC, and help define how changes move safely from dev → staging → UAT → prod in a fast-moving healthcare platform.
You’ll help define how quality scales as Cohere grows. This role has real influence over release safety, platform reliability, and how engineering teams ship software in a regulated, high-impact domain. You won’t just test features — you’ll shape how Cohere delivers them safely to production.
What you’ll do:
Own and evolve Cohere’s end-to-end test automation strategy across UI, API, config changes, and critical workflows
Design and maintain scalable E2E automation frameworks for multi-tenant, payer-specific workflows
Build automated validation for deployment guardrails, release readiness, and production change safety
Partner with Platform/DevOps to integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
Create automated coverage for high-risk paths (authorization flows, partner integrations, file pipelines, feature flags, config changes)
Drive test reliability, flake reduction, and actionable failure signals
Define and enforce quality gates for prod releases, blue/green and canary deployments, and config changes
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to ensure business outcomes are testable, measurable, and observable
Improve test data management and environment stability to enable reliable automation at scale
Mentor engineers on testability, automation best practices, and quality-first development
Partner with SRE and Security to ensure production readiness, observability, and compliance expectations are met
Apply AI-assisted tooling to accelerate test creation and expand coverage for high-risk user flows, integrations, and configuration-driven behavior
Use AI to analyze automation failures and production incidents to reduce flaky tests and prioritize new test coverage around real failure patterns
Required Qualifications:
3+ years in QA Automation, SDET, or test engineering roles supporting production systems
Strong hands-on experience building automation frameworks for UI and API testing from the ground up, and setting up repeatable datasets
Deep experience with modern E2E frameworks (Playwright or Cypress) using TypeScript
Strong API automation experience (REST-based testing frameworks)
Strong CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions or similar)
Experience validating cloud-native systems on AWS
Comfortable working in microservices and event-driven architectures
Experience testing configuration-driven systems, feature flags, and environment-specific behavior
Strong debugging skills across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers
Proven ability to partner with platform / infra teams on release pipelines and deployment safety
Nice-to-haves
Performance and reliability testing experience (e.g., k6 or similar)
Healthcare or regulated domain experience
Ability to commute/relocate:
Hyderabad, Telangana*: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Preferred)
Interview Process*:
Connect with Talent Acquisition
Meet with the Hiring Manager
Behavioral Interview(s)
Case Study
Interview with Senior Leadership
*Subject to change
