SDET – Software Development Engineer in Test
KNOWiNK — St. Louis, Missouri (An On-site Role)
At KNOWiNK, we build technology that powers elections across the country. That means quality isn't just a nice to have — it's everything. We're looking for an SDET who lives at the intersection of engineering and testing, someone who thinks in code, cares deeply about coverage, and wants to build automation that actually makes a difference. If you're the kind of person who gets excited about finding a bug before it ships, you're going to fit right in here.
What you'll be doing
- Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and test suites across web, mobile, and API layers
- Write clean, reusable test code that integrates smoothly into our CI/CD pipelines
- Collaborate with developers and product early in the cycle to identify testability gaps and build quality in from the start
- Perform manual and exploratory testing when automation isn't the right tool for the job
- Own defect documentation and tracking from discovery through resolution
- Contribute to code reviews on test automation with an eye for maintainability and coverage
- Support performance and regression testing efforts across releases and hotfixes
- Help maintain and improve QA documentation, standards, and processes as we grow
What we're looking for
Nice to have
- Experience with performance testing tools like JMeter, K6, or LoadRunner
- Mobile testing experience on iOS and/or Android
- Familiarity with security testing practices
- Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Experience with Docker or containerized test environments
- Background in elections tech, civic tech, or similarly high-stakes software
What success looks like
First 90 days
You understand our product, our stack, and our testing gaps, and you're already writing automation that matters
First 6 months
Your test coverage contributions are measurably reducing regression time and catching bugs earlier in the cycle
First year
You're a core part of how quality gets built into our product, not just validated at the end
Sound like you? We'd love to hear from you.
