Software Engineer in Test (SET)

Do you want to design and build robust test automation solutions that ensure the integrity and protection of millions of children online?

At Qoria, we have a simple but profound purpose: to keep every child safe and thriving in their digital life. We build the technology that over 32,000 schools and 8 million parents use to protect more than 27 million children from online risks. This isn't just another QA role; it's a mission to embed quality at every stage. 

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer in Test (SET) to take a hands-on technical leadership role within our shared services team. You will be crafting the automation frameworks and tests that validate the services that enable authentication, authorisation, telemetry, provisioning and more.

What’s the opportunity? 

This is a deeply technical, hands-on role where you will be responsible for developing significant test automation code and owning the quality strategy for our shared services. You will be a key player in a major effort to unify our systems, tackling complex quality challenges in performance, resiliency, and security by building scalable and reliable test infrastructure. You will work with a team of motivated and curious engineers who are passionate about solving problems that truly matter.

Your Impact: What You'll Be Doing

• Lead Test Automation Development: Architect, design, and build our critical, high-performance automated test frameworks and test suites using Golang, .Net, and scripting languages.

• Deep Dive into Quality: Understand and validate the behavior of our shared services, ensuring their resilience, efficiency, and security through comprehensive automation.

• Own Quality End-to-End: Embody our principle of "Code it; Ship it; Own it." You will be responsible for defining and implementing the automated validation that ensures your team's work (and the product) is something we are all proud of.

• Drive Quality Strategy: Play a pivotal role in the test automation and quality unification of our services, collaborating across teams to build a cohesive, scalable, and highly reliable platform. Contribute to the strategic planning of testing efforts, applying risk-based analysis to prioritise automation and manual testing activities.

• Mentor and Grow: As an SET, you are expected to have a positive influence on the professional growth of others in quality engineering best practices and the success of the team.

• Closer Collaboration with Development Teams: Partner closely with development teams to embed quality throughout the SDLC, influencing testability, unit testing practices, and facilitating rapid feedback loops.

• Debugging and Root Cause Analysis: Perform in-depth debugging and root cause analysis for identified defects, collaborating with developers to accelerate resolution.

What You Will Bring

• Extensive hands-on experience with programming languages used for automation and testing, such as Golang, .Net, or similar.

• A strong architectural mindset for test automation, with the ability to design everything from low-level component tests to end-to-end system validation frameworks.

• Proven experience building and maintaining robust automated test frameworks (e.g., integrating with CI/CD pipelines).

• A technology-agnostic approach and the ability to pick up new languages and frameworks to get the job done right.

• An inquisitive, collaborative, and proactive nature, always looking for opportunities to learn and improve quality outcomes.

• Bonus Points: Experience with performance testing tools and security testing methodologies.
