We are seeking an experienced SDET to join our development team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in testing methodologies, quality processes, and defect management. This role is critical in ensuring the delivery of high-quality software products through comprehensive testing strategies and process improvements.
Key Responsibilities
Enhance and maintain the existing Playwright automation framework, expanding UI/API coverage and improving reliability, flakiness detection, and execution efficiency
Validate complex system workflows across UI, API, and backend layers, ensuring correctness, reliability, and consistency of every release
Build internal QA tools, improve test data workflows, and contribute to CI/CD quality gates and overall pipeline readiness
Perform functional, regression, and end-to-end automated testing
Advocate for shift-left quality and influence system design and architecture for better testability.
Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and business analysts
Maintain accurate documentation and onboarding materials for frameworks, tooling, and best practices
Participate in test strategy, test planning, and test estimation activities
Requirements
Required Skills & Qualifications

Basepair is a next generation bioinformatics company. Through a combination of intuitive interfaces and modern architecture we are reimagining what a commercial platform can deliver to R&D organizations. We're on a mission to make genomic data analysis & visualization more accessible to a broader range of scientists so that the promise of precision medicine can become a reality.
One of the biggest challenges preventing this now arguably lies not with how the data gets generated and processed, but who is able to perform the analysis and understand what the resulting data means. Limiting this work to a select few, whether through choice or more often because of technology restrictions, especially for routine analyses, leads to reduced efficiency in R&D teams, longer times to market for assay manufacturers and increased turnaround times in clinical settings. Unlike other more traditional alternatives, our philosophy is not to ask bioinformaticians to change the way they work by having to build workflows on our platform. Instead, once they are built and ready for sharing or production settings, Basepair can significantly improve and accelerate both scaling & deployment to colleagues, collaborators and customers wherever they happen to be in the world.
To do this in a way that is adapted to the dynamics of the market today, we believe a bioinformatics platform needs to:
1) Leverage the compute and storage resources in a third party cloud account without the requirement of installing inside an organization's vpc
2) Facilitate the bundling of analysis with the sale of a kit or assay through easy white labeling and tokens/coupons
3) Support ever increasing sample volumes and application areas through an extensible architecture that scales to millions of records, enables complete sample provenance and reduces cloud costs
Introducing Basepair…bioinformatics reinvented.
