Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional experience as SDET or Test Automation Engineer
- Commercial experience with JavaScript/TypeScript automation frameworks (Cypress is a plus), with a strong focus on backend and API testing
- Commercial experience with Python automation frameworks (pytest, pytest-mock; PySpark experience is a plus)
- Proven experience in building automation frameworks from scratch
- Familiarity with automating E2E tests using POM and BDD syntax
- Experience with API testing using an automation framework
- Experience with performance testing tools (Artillery or K6 is a plus)
- Knowledge of non-functional testing
- Exposure to DevOps tools such as Jenkins, BitBucket, DataDog, and AWS cloud infrastructure (S3, Delta, Databricks)
- A strong advocate for test automation who continually seeks opportunities to enhance the existing automated testing framework
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent SDETs and defend quality in the release process
- Experience driving shift-left testing culture in engineering teams, including coaching developers to write tests and integrating quality conversations early in the development lifecycle
- Experience with AI testing, including familiarity with evaluation strategies
- Any French language ability is a welcome bonus but not a ‘must have’
What the job involves
- The SDET role plays a key part in our product delivery process
- The ideal candidate will ensure our software meets requirements and is built to the highest standards
- Create automated tests using Cypress.io and backend testing tools for API and ETL
- Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and promote knowledge sharing
- Contribute to and enhance the existing test automation framework
- Conduct POCs to expand non-functional testing frameworks
- Deploy tickets to test environments and production using BitBucket pipelines
- Work alongside data engineers, developers, and DevOps to improve data deployment processes
- Influence and help shape the roadmap for SDET
- Coach junior team members
- Champion and embed shift-left testing practices within the Data team, including defining test scope during refinement sessions, ensuring testable acceptance criteria, and fostering shared quality ownership between engineers
- Contribute to and evolve Semble's shift-left testing strategy, building on existing frameworks and ensuring quality is a collaborative, upstream activity rather than a last-minute gate
- At a Senior level at Semble, we will expect you to be mostly autonomous in your scope and to own and solve complex tasks or lead projects independently
- You will work with peers from different functions and have an impact across department
- You may be in a mentoring role for more junior team members and should be able to influence effectively and lead by example throughout the company

Our take
In healthcare, overloaded systems riddled with room for error are in dire need of an overhaul. Semble (previously Heydoc) is one of the startups stepping in to try and fix the problem. Its integrated clinical system aims to help practices manage patient data and streamline their administration and operations.
Semble is not the only option in the market, but its focus on private hospitals and clinics may well work to its advantage, as many of its competitors primarily target the NHS. The company's cloud-based system aligns the company with the broader trend towards cloud-based operations, another good sign for its future growth.
A well-funded business, Semble has been able to remain at the forefront of innovation through adding automation and most recently, AI to its system. A considerable influx of investment in 2024 will help to consolidate its market position in the UK as well as support the expansion of its newer presence in France.
