[Hiring] Software Development Engineer in Test @Fresh Prints

Role Description

We’re looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who will own the reliability, coverage, and automation of Balto’s testing ecosystem. This role is hands-on, bridging QA and engineering: you’ll write automated tests, improve coverage, and help us continuously deliver high-quality code with confidence.

You’ll work closely with product engineers to:

• Design testable systems
• Automate repetitive checks
• Make our testing pipelines faster and more reliable — especially for our Electron desktop app and AI-powered features

Because of the close collaboration, you’ll need to align your working hours with the US schedule.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as first-line support for the engineering team, helping to triage and reproduce reported issues.
• Own bi-weekly regression testing, ensuring stable releases and reliable feature coverage.
• Identify gaps in our current test plans and write automation tests for missing smoke tests across features.
• Contribute to, and improve, our unit and integration test coverage, guided by tools like SonarQube.
• Design and implement test automation for our Electron app integrated with GitHub Actions.
• Collaborate with developers to ensure high-quality pull requests and resilient builds.
• Work with AI-powered features to design test cases and prompts that validate intelligent behavior and performance.

Qualifications

• Strong programming skills in Python and JavaScript.
• Experience with Playwright for automated browser and UI testing.
• Solid understanding of Git and standard version control workflows.
• Familiarity with GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation.

Nice to Have

• Experience testing Electron applications.
• Understanding of AI models, especially around creating effective prompts and validating model behavior.

Who You Are

• A detail-oriented tester who loves building automation that prevents bugs.
• Comfortable debugging across the stack and writing clean, maintainable code.
• Curious about AI and excited to work on products that integrate it.
• Pragmatic, organized, and collaborative. You are the person who makes shipping safe and predictable.
