We're looking for a talented and driven Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to play a foundational role in building a next-generation Financial SaaS (FinSaaS) platform from the ground up. This is a true greenfield opportunity, where you'll help design and implement scalable test automation frameworks, shape quality engineering practices, and influence how testing is embedded across the entire development lifecycle from day one.

In this role, you'll be defining how quality is engineered within a modern, cloud-based platform used by investors and financial stakeholders. You'll partner closely with our core engineering team to establish testing strategies, ensure system reliability, and enable high-velocity, confident releases.

Your work will have a direct and visible impact on product quality, user trust, and the company's ability to scale. If you're excited by the chance to build something new, drive a quality-first culture, and leave a lasting imprint on both the product and engineering organization, this role offers a unique opportunity to do just that.
