Ashby is looking to hire an SDET to enhance their QA infrastructure, enabling engineers to move faster without compromising quality as the product evolves and the team grows. The goal is to build a QA system that provides fast, trustworthy feedback to engineers, catching user-impacting issues and making quality ownership easier at scale.
Requirements
- You’ve written and maintained test automation frameworks from scratch.
- You know what makes a test helpful, what makes it flaky, and what makes it someone else’s problem
- You think like a user. You know how to spot edge cases, understand how someone might use a feature, and turn that into meaningful test coverage.
- You enjoy working on test infrastructure that supports engineers and removes friction from their workflow
- You get excited about shipping less brittle tests, faster. You don’t treat test automation like a checklist. You care if it’s usable
- You don’t need to be told what “done” looks like. You can scope, build, test, and maintain your own tools and systems
- TypeScript and Playwright experience
Responsibilities
- write and maintain end-to-end tests
- contribute to our test infrastructure
- work closely with engineers on the team to build fast, confident feedback loops
- building systems
- writing code most days
- building a test framework
- extending a test setup to make it 10x faster
Other
- This is not a test executor role. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role.
- You’ll bring product intuition into how you build test systems, understanding what users rely on, where edge cases live, and how to steer engineers to the right tests, not just more of them.
- You’ll focus on building systems that unlock leverage and ensure we cover what matters.
- You’re used to working on large QA teams with lots of ceremony and fixed roles
- You prefer validating requirements over building and improving systems
