We are looking for a skilled Developer in Test to join our engineering team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between software development and quality assurance by designing, building, and maintaining automated testing frameworks, tools, and infrastructure that ensure the reliability, performance, and quality of core services.

You will collaborate closely with stakeholders and product owners from the earliest stages of project definition, championing the belief that quality is the responsibility of all engineers. Experience with modern testing tools and a proactive approach to exploring emerging technologies like AI for test optimization are essential.

• Designing, developing, and maintaining scalable and robust automated test suites across multiple layers of the application stack, including unit, integration, API, end-to-end, and regression tests.

• Building and enhancing internal test automation frameworks, libraries, and utilities that improve test coverage, speed, and reliability for the engineering organization.

• Integrating automated tests into continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to enable fast, reliable feedback loops and support frequent production deployments.

• Collaborating with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to define test strategies for new features and services, identifying risk areas and recommending appropriate test approaches.

• Developing and executing performance, load, and stress tests to validate system behavior under expected and peak conditions, and surface bottlenecks before they reach production.

• Analyzing test failures and production incidents to identify root causes, improve test coverage in gap areas, and implement long-term preventive measures to reduce regression risk

What you can expect from us: 

• Opportunity to build high-leverage features for the core business domains that directly impacts the travel experience for millions of users.

• Culture that promotes good engineering practices, high-quality code, and continuous improvement.

  • Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform

  • Monitoring & Testing: ELK/Grafana, Sentry, CI/CD tools

What sets you apart: 

• 3-5 years of professional experience in software development, test automation, or a Developer in Test role.

• Strong coding skills in at least one major programming language (Ruby/Rails, Golang, Python, Node.js) with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.

• ​​Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar.

• Experience testing RESTful APIs using tools such as Postman, Bruno, or similar.

• Working knowledge of CI/CD platforms (e.g. Github Actions) and integrating automated test suites into build pipelines.

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose flaky tests, race conditions, and complex integration issues.

• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows.

• Sense of ownership of delivered solutions.

• Clear and effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams in an agile environment.
