Job Requirements/Description
Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

London, UK / Hybrid / Engineering

We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our early-stage FinTech!

At Navro, we value diversity and are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels supported and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.

You will be central to defining and executing our automation testing strategy so that our platform and services are available when customers want to use them.

Who we are

We are building the world's first regulated payments curation layer. By consolidating best-in-class payments infrastructure under our ecosystem, we will enable marketplaces and eCommerce brands to scale their payments operations smoothly around the world.

The role

We are looking for a driven and intellectually curious individual to join our technology team. As the Senior SDET, you will be responsible for designing, co-developing, and automating software test plans and test cases. You will champion continuous improvement through experimentation, retrospection, and innovation, ensuring that our testing processes remain at the forefront of industry standards.

Our backend is developed predominantly on Java with SpringBoot and SpringCloud, and our frontend in Next.JS. We are deploying to K8S with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD on AWS, but remain somewhat cloud agnostic as we are pursuing a multi-cloud strategy.

Requirements
To be successful in this role, you:

  • Demonstrate strong leadership skills to mentor and guide team members in testing methodologies and best practices
  • Must have strong programming skills with a solid knowledge of Java and ideally JS
  • Must have knowledge of software testing methodologies like Behavior-Driven Development and testing principles, such as functional testing, component testing, integration testing, regression testing, and performance testing
  • Have practical experience with Contract Testing using Pact
  • Are very familiar with performance & load testing tools.
  • Be an advocate of the need to engage testing early in the feature definition process
  • Can mentor engineering teams, assist them by identifying testing goals and needs, and drive a culture of knowledge sharing in order to close knowledge gaps.
  • Can help foster an environment of psychological safety that enables team members to thrive. This is very important to us, as we are a highly diverse group made up of people from many different ethnicities, religious beliefs, and gender identities
  • Experience in Payments or a FinTech industry would be nice to have but not a strong requirement

Personal Attributes:

  • Ability to mentor and guide team members
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively
  • High degree of empathy and situational awareness

You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits
As part of this role, you will receive the following:

  • You will enjoy 26 days of annual leave (excluding Bank holidays)
  • Volunteering and Compassionate leave
  • Pension Scheme
  • Company Options Scheme
  • Team socials and annual company off-sites
  • Comprehensive, interactive & engaging Training - Leadership, Communication and Presentation Skills, Behavioural Profiling, Conflict Management, etc
  • Career frameworks
  • Working remotely with cross-cultural teams; whilst we love to have you in the coworking space for occasional workshops and team collaboration, you mostly will be working remotely
  • Flexibility surrounding other commitments; within your team we will work around child-care or other appointments you have. We just ask for advance notice!
  • Working in a diverse and inclusive environment where we ensure that our people thrive
