Company mission
To provide pet parents with affordable vet care that's always there.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in a software engineering or SDET role with strong programming fundamentals
- Hands-on experience building test frameworks from scratch (Playwright preferred, but equivalent experience with Cypress or similar accepted)
- TypeScript or JavaScript proficiency — you'll be writing framework code, not just test scripts
- Experience designing CI/CD test pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
- Understanding of the testing pyramid and a track record of pushing tests to the appropriate layer
- Experience partnering with developers on testability standards (data-testid contracts, API test hooks, code review for test coverage)
- Familiarity with API testing, network-layer assertions, and mocking/stubbing third-party integrations
- Experience with mobile test automation (Maestro or Appium) is a plus
- Familiarity with monitoring, availability testing, or SRE-adjacent practices is a plus
What the job involves
- We are seeking an SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) to own test infrastructure and quality strategy across our applications
- You'll work as a partner to the engineering team — designing test frameworks, driving testability standards, and building automation that catches regressions across the full testing pyramid. You will report to the Director of Quality Assurance
- Design and maintain the Playwright-based test framework architecture, including page object patterns, test data management, and CI integration
- Drive a testability contract with developers (data-testid standards, API test hooks) and advocate for testable architecture in design and code reviews
- Own the testing strategy across the pyramid — ensure the right tests exist at the right layer (unit, integration, E2E) rather than pushing everything to the browser
- Build and maintain tiered CI pipelines: smoke on deploy, regression nightly, full suite weekly
- Automate revenue-critical and marketing-critical flows (checkout, registration, analytics/tracking, SEO validation)
- Write production monitoring tests that verify system and vendor availability (Stripe, Calendly, fulfillment integrations)
- Identify, triage, and track bugs with clear reproduction steps and root cause analysis
- Partner with engineering, product, and customer support to review requirements and provide early feedback on testability and risk
Our take
As most pet owners know, visits to the vet can be eye-wateringly expensive. That’s not just a financial cost, but a welfare risk for pets as owners often wait until their pet is experiencing a much larger issue so that they can make the most of one vet visit and just one fee.
Dutch flips the veterinary business model on its head by providing a telemedicine service for pets through a monthly subscription. Pet owners are asked to provide a few details, after which they can set up a time for a video call. And once they've completed their first visit, they can reconnect with a vet at any time through the platform.
The company has invested funding in growing its electronic medical records database - to make it easier for pet owners to collect and share their pets’ data and prescriptions. It's also been growing its pharmacy network, and even launched pet insurance in partnership with Pets Best.
While it began with a focus on chronic pet health, Dutch has since grown into a full-service virtual care platform. With smart tech, fast growth, and a loyal user base, it's becoming a go-to for modern pet care. Plus, it recently announced its was pursuing its next stage of growth by expanding its marketing team and efforts.
