About the TeamÂ
Â
Powerful entertainment experiences come from brilliant teams, and at VIZIO, we work together to deliver the latest SmartCast TV and Sound Bar Technologies across the world. We are skilled engineers who care about the people they work with, the work they create, and the teams they nurture. At VIZIO we’re built around supporting each other in a relaxed, collaborative environment. We’re focused on learning, doing something new and valuable, and encouraging our team to do the same. With flexible work hours, a collaborative open-door environment, and teams who support each other in and out of the office, our work experience becomes meaningful. (And we don’t focus on hierarchy; instead, we work together to create the roles we’re most excited about). Now we need a brilliant Sr Software Engineer to join us and own the development of our features through the full-release lifecycle.Â
Â
About the RoleÂ
We are looking for a driven Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to support a backend-heavy, microservices-based architecture built primarily in TypeScript. This role requires someone who can operate independently and take ownership of automation across both service-level and cross-service testing.Â
You’ll ensure each service is well-tested in isolation while also building robust integration and end-to-end test strategies that validate how services interact across the system. This is a high-impact role focused on improving reliability, accelerating development velocity, and embedding quality into the engineering culture.Â
 What you'll do:
Design and implement automated testing strategies for a distributed microservices architectureÂ
Build and maintain service-level (unit + integration) automated tests for TypeScript/Node.js servicesÂ
Develop cross-service integration tests to validate APIs, contracts, and workflowsÂ
Create and evolve reusable automation frameworks for backend and API testingÂ
Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, reliable feedbackÂ
Collaborate with engineers to embed testing into the development lifecycleÂ
Identify gaps in coverage and drive improvements in system reliabilityÂ
Troubleshoot flaky tests, distributed system issues, and test environment challengesÂ
4+ years of experience in an automation-focused role (SDET, QA Automation Engineer, or similar)Â
Strong experience testing backend systems and microservices architecturesÂ
Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and experience with Node.js services Strong proficiency in TypeScript and/or C#; experience in Python or Go is a plus Working knowledge in Postman API.
Hands-on experience with automation tools/frameworks (e.g., Jest, Mocha, Playwright, Supertest, or similar)Â
Experience with API, integration, and contract testing (e.g., Pact or similar)Â
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)Â
Solid understanding of distributed systems (service dependencies, retries, eventual consistency)Â
Ability to operate independently and take ownership of ambiguous problemsÂ
Nice to have: experience with event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ), Docker/Kubernetes, Test containers, observability tools, and performance testing  Growth & Impact This role starts with a strong focus on building a scalable automation foundation across our services. As that foundation matures and becomes embedded within the team’s workflows, ownership of automation will increasingly shift to the broader engineering team. Over time, this role is expected to evolve into a more traditional Software Engineer position, with opportunities to: Build and ship backend featuresÂ
Contribute directly to service developmentÂ
Help maintain and extend the automation ecosystem as a shared team responsibilityÂ
We’re looking for someone who is excited to lead the automation effort early and grow into a broader engineering role as the team scales.Â
