As a Senior SDET on the KEPM team, you will function as a software engineer focused on testability, automation, and system-level quality. You will design and build advanced automation frameworks, develop custom test tools, and partner closely with engineering to validate complex, security-sensitive endpoint workflows across operating systems and enterprise environments. This role emphasizes automation architecture, CI/CD integration, and endpoint-focused validation, not manual testing or security engineering.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and maintain automation frameworks for KEPM services and endpoint workflows
• Develop custom automation tools to validate integrations, access policies, and privileged operations
• Build and scale automation pipelines that validate performance, reliability, and security-related behaviors
• Create and extend API automation modules to validate backend services and integrations
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Develop and manage containerized test environments using Docker and Kubernetes
• Validate authentication and access workflows, including SSO, OAuth, and identity provider integrations
• Execute automated testing across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments
• Analyze test results and system behavior to identify failures and reliability issues
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed testability into system design
• Mentor other QA and automation engineers, raising the bar for test automation practices

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in test automation or software engineering with a strong automation focus
• Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Proven experience designing and building custom automation frameworks or test systems
• Hands-on experience with modern automation tools such as Playwright or Pytest
• Experience testing APIs, backend services, and security-sensitive workflows
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems
• Experience working with containerized or cloud-native environments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS)
• Familiarity with authentication and access control concepts (SSO, OAuth, SAML)
• Experience validating performance or reliability characteristics of distributed systems
• Strong communication skills and ability to act as a technical leader within QA
• Due to this role’s involvement working on FedRAMP compliance requirements, qualified candidates must be a “U.S. Person”

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience testing endpoint security or privileged access management products
• Familiarity with cloud or security automation frameworks
• Exposure to remote access protocols (SSH, RDP, VNC)
• Contributions to open-source testing or automation tools

Benefits

• Medical, Dental & Vision (inclusive of domestic partnerships)
• Employer Paid Life Insurance & Employee/Spouse/Child Supplemental life
• Voluntary Short/Long Term Disability Insurance
