The SchoolTool team is seeking an experienced Test Engineer to join our team! As a member of the team you’ll play a key role in determining how to best solve customer needs through testing developed software solutions and driving deep automation of the software development lifecycle through the adoption of DevOps culture and methods.
Essential Functions
- Test development: Maintain and extend the existing Selenium-based E2E automation suite; improve stability, coverage, and execution efficiency over time. Identify opportunities to introduce automation at additional layers — API, integration, or component — as the team's practices evolve.
- Observability for tests: Instrument logs/metrics/traces, define SLIs/SLOs, and build dashboards for build health and flake rates.
- Shift-left collaboration: Drive testability discussions with product and engineering; shape acceptance criteria, identify gaps early in design, and influence how features are built to support automated verification.
- Hands-on coding: Write clean, maintainable C#/.NET code in both product and test repositories; architect test harnesses, utilities, and shared libraries with longevity in mind.
- Test data: Define and implement test data strategies for the team — seeding, anonymization, and repeatable fixture management.
- CI/CD quality gates: Design and implement YAML-based pipeline stages in Azure DevOps; take ownership of quality gate configuration, artifact management, and test execution scheduling within the pipeline.
- Cloud & infrastructure: Develop working knowledge of AWS-hosted environments; take increasing ownership of environment configuration and infrastructure practices as the team scales its cloud footprint.
- Documentation: Produce and maintain documentation for automation frameworks, test processes, and runbooks; raise the floor for the team's collective knowledge.
Requirements
- Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years in software and/or test engineering with meaningful hands-on automation experience.
- Demonstrated experience with Selenium or a comparable E2E automation framework.

- Working familiarity with CI/CD concepts; prior experience contributing to Azure DevOps or a comparable platform.
- Relational database proficiency — MS SQL in particular.

- Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style.
