About 1DigitalStack.ai

1DigitalStack.ai is a technology company combining AI with deep eCommerce data expertise to help global brands grow faster on e-marketplaces. Our platforms deliver advanced analytics, actionable intelligence, and media automation — enabling brands to optimize performance at scale.

We work with India’s top consumer companies — including Unilever, Marico, Coca-Cola, Tata Consumer, Dabur, and Unicharm — across 125+ marketplaces globally.

We are product-first, data-obsessed, and committed to building tools that drive real business outcomes. As we scale, we are reinventing our QA and quality engineering processes from scratch, and are looking for senior, high-agency SDETs to help shape how quality is built at 1DigitalStack.

Role Overview

As a Senior SDET, you’ll be part of our core product-engineering team, working closely with product managers, designers, and backend/frontend engineers to ensure we ship reliable, high-quality products at speed.

Each Senior SDET owns quality for a sprint team. The role is hands-on, with an initial focus on manual testing and release quality, and a strong mandate to build automation foundations, test pipelines, and scalable QA processes over time. You will also play a key role in mentoring and growing junior QA talent as the team scales.

What You’ll Do

Sprint & Product Quality Ownership

• Own end-to-end quality for one sprint team
• Participate in story grooming, sprint planning, and release discussions
• Translate product requirements and workflows into detailed test cases
• Perform thorough manual testing across UI, workflows, APIs, and data-heavy dashboards
• Ensure strong regression coverage for both new and existing features
• Act as the quality gatekeeper before releases
  
  
  

Building QA from Scratch

• Help define and establish QA processes, standards, and best practices across the product
• Decide what should be manually tested vs automated
• Set up structured test case management and documentation
• Define quality benchmarks, release criteria, and escalation processes
• Continuously evolve QA practices as product complexity and team size grow
  
  
  

Automation & Test Infrastructure

• Design and build automated test suites for critical user journeys and APIs
• Gradually expand automation coverage across existing and legacy features
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Improve test reliability, reduce flakiness, and optimize execution time
• Collaborate with engineers to improve testability of the product
  
  
  

Leadership & Scale

• Operate as the senior-most QA for your sprint team
• Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering Leads
• Mentor and train junior QA engineers as they join
• Influence engineering teams to adopt a quality-first mindset
  
  
  

Requirements

Experience & Background

• 4–6 years of experience in software testing and quality engineering
• At least 2 years of hands-on manual testing experience
• At least 2 years of experience in automated testing
• Prior experience operating as a senior QA / SDET closely aligned with product and engineering leadership
• Experience working in SaaS product companies or fast-paced startup environments
  
  
  

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of QA fundamentals, test design, and defect lifecycle
• Experience with UI automation tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar
• Experience with API testing (Postman and/or automated API tests)
• Working knowledge of programming or scripting languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or Python)
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines
• Comfortable testing data-heavy dashboards, analytics, and complex workflows
  
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience testing analytics or data-intensive applications
• Exposure to performance, load, or security testing
• Experience setting up QA processes or frameworks from scratch
• Prior experience mentoring or managing junior QA engineers
  
  
  

Why Join Us?

• High-trust, no-politics culture where ownership and accountability are core to how we work
• Collaborative, ego-free team that believes in building together and supporting each other
• Learning-first mindset with peer reviews, mentorship, and exposure to real business challenges
• Modern stack and autonomy — work with the latest tools and influence how we build
• Mission-driven impact — build systems and processes that ensure how India’s top brands rely on our products
