Software Development Engineer in Test[SDET]

FinOpsly is an AI-native Value-Control™ platform for cloud (AWS, AZ, GCP), data (Snowflake, Databricks), and AI economics, built to help enterprises move beyond passive cost visibility to active, outcome-driven control. The platform unifies technology spend across cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks), and AI workloads into a single system of action—combining planning, optimization, automation, and financial operations. 

Role Summary 

FinOpsly is seeking a technically proficient SDET to design and execute both automated and 

manual quality solutions across our AI-native platform. This role requires a unique balance 

of software automation, rigorous data validation, and exploratory manual testing. You will 

ensure the reliability of our modern Nest.js/Next.js stack and Snowflake data models while performing critical manual audits on financial accuracy and user workflows. 

What You’ll Do 

• Design and implement scalable, maintainable automation frameworks for API, UI, and data testing. 
• Execute rigorous manual exploratory testing on new features before automation to ensure business, logic is sound, and user flows are intuitive. 
• Build and maintain scalable test frameworks for REST APIs (Nest.js/PHP) and modern web frontends (Next.js/React) using Playwright or Cypress. 
• Numerical Validation: Perform manual and automated validation of SQL queries in Snowflake, specifically scrutinizing cost metrics and anomaly detection for ' commonsense' errors. 
• Embed automated quality gates into GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions at the PR level. 
• Manually and automatically validate complex user journeys ensuring multi-tenant data isolation and dashboard accuracy. 
• Lead root-cause analysis for escaped defects and collaborate with engineering triage and resolution. 

What You’ll Bring 

• 4–6 years of experience in software testing with a strong background in both manual and automated methodologies. 
• Deep understanding of the SDLC and mastery of various testing types (functional, regression, sanity, and exploratory). 
• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript; experience with or willingness to learn PHP for legacy systems. 
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, or similar modern frameworks. 
• Data & SQL Mastery: Strong SQL skills with experience validating complex data aggregations and financial metrics in Snowflake. 
• An exceptional eye for catching numerical errors and edge cases within complex financial data outputs. 
• High ownership and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. 

Nice to Have 

• Experience testing anomaly detection, forecasting models, or large-scale data-driven systems. 
• Familiarity with cloud cost management, billing cycles, or cloud-native infrastructure.  
• Exposure to performance, load, and resilience testing for high-traffic SaaS platforms.  
• Basic understanding of security scanning and vulnerability testing for web applications. 

What You Will Gain 

• FinOps Domain Expertise: Master the intricacies of cloud financial management and ROI across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Snowflake. 
• AI/ML Quality Engineering: Learn to test and validate intelligent multi-agent systems and predictive forecasting models. 
• Full-Stack Visibility: Work across a diverse tech stack while helping define quality standards for a high-growth SaaS platform. 
• Work alongside a supportive, diverse group tackling fresh challenges and pushing boundaries in AI-native FinOps 
• As an early-stage team member, you will have a direct path to leadership roles as the engineering organization scales, with the chance to define our global quality engineering standards.
