ClickUp is looking for an experienced SDET to help scale automated testing for a modern, AI-powered, full-stack platform that reaches millions of users globally, aiming to improve quality and enable developer velocity.
Requirements
- Expertise in TypeScript and deep experience with test frameworks like Playwright, Jest, Mocha, or custom-built tools.
- Strong backend understanding with practical experience testing RESTful APIs, message queues, and service-level contracts.
- Experience with Docker, local environment orchestration, and integrating tests into CI pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI).
- A strong understanding of modern test pyramid principles, including balancing unit, integration, and E2E automation.
- Demonstrated interest or experience in AI-assisted test generation, prompt engineering, or test maintenance using LLMs.
- Passion for system design, test scalability, and thoughtful failure investigation.
- Experience with GraphQL, gRPC, or event-driven architectures.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks across API, integration, and UI layers using TypeScript, Playwright, and modern tooling.
- Implement containerized test environments using Docker to support local and CI-based automation at scale.
- Build comprehensive API test suites to validate service contracts, workflows, and edge cases across our distributed backend architecture.
- Contribute to integration testing strategies for inter-service validation and shared dependencies.
- Partner with product engineers to define and automate critical user journeys and regression tests using Playwright.
- Help bridge frontend and backend test coverage through unified test frameworks and shared data models.
- Evaluate and implement AI-powered tools to generate, optimize, and maintain automated tests (e.g., using LLMs like GPT or fine-tuned internal models).
Other
- Solid experience (5+ years preferred) as an SDET, Test Automation Engineer, or similar role in fast-paced product environments.
- Collaborate with developers, QEs, and platform engineers to shift testing left, define quality gates, and improve build-check effectiveness.
- Contribute to internal best practices around test strategy, observability, data-driven debugging, and release readiness.
- Mentor others in test architecture, automation best practices, and sustainable quality ownership.
- If you think ClickUp is the company for you, we encourage you to apply!
