What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our dynamic engineering team
- You will be working alongside our full-stack engineers to build and maintain a robust testing infrastructure for our web platform, which currently runs 27K+ tests across 300+ machines in minutes
- Your role will focus on improving test stability, speed, and consistency across the entire stack, with a particular emphasis on optimizing automated testing workflows
- You’ll collaborate closely with our Full Stack Engineers to ensure seamless, high-quality code that powers millions of members and thousands of communities
- In this role, you’ll leverage cutting-edge AI tools to apply mass changes to the test-codebase that enhance productivity and streamline testing processes
- Design, develop, and maintain our testing infrastructure to ensure consistent, high-quality results across the platform
- Evolve the test‑suite itself – introduce new patterns and best practices, focusing on system‑level improvements, not writing feature tests for other teams
- Collaborate with the CTO to define testing patterns, direction and improvements
- Build in fast-paced iterations to optimize test stability, speed, and scalability
- Leverage AI-driven tools to create intelligent testing solutions and improve test coverage and performance
- Mentor and guide Full Stack developers to elevate the testing standards across the team

Our take
Mighty Networks is a SaaS business helping low to mid-tier creators to build thriving communities of subscribers or paid members for their online courses and events. The platform targets the 'creative middle class' (individuals who don't have a substantial online presence) to secure lucrative partnerships with major platforms like YouTube or Facebook.
By catering to this underserved demographic, Mighty Networks has achieved significant success. It boasts over 50,000 creators and brands on its platform, including prominent names like TED and Fortune, as well as Yoga with Adriene. And, if the company can effectively serve the large creative middle-class population, they stand to make substantial progress in this rapidly growing industry.
