Hey there! We're AKKO!

Our mission is to protect the devices the world relies on by relentlessly innovating to deliver an unparalleled digital insurance experience.

We are seeking a Software Developer in Test (SDET) to focus on our automation and manual testing of the suite of software products that we offer to customers. The candidate will be required to carry out tests to ensure the software we’re building addresses the business requirements and provides user friendly experience to our customers. The primary role is heavy on writing automated tests, maintaining them and triaging failures. This role will also include manual testing work for newer initiatives.

THE DAY-TO-DAY

Define risk-based test plans and acceptance criteria in partnership with Product/Engineering; translate user stories into clear test cases.
Build and maintain automated tests (Cypress/TypeScript preferred) across E2E, integration, and API layers; create reusable utilities/page objects and stabilize flaky tests.
Implement and own CI/CD test gates (smoke/regression) with parallelization and clear pass/fail signals; track coverage and test health metrics.
Perform targeted manual/exploratory testing for new features, edge cases, and UX flows; drive regression for critical paths.
Create and manage test data, mocks/fixtures, and environment configurations to keep tests deterministic and fast.
Coordinate with engineers to reproduce, triage, and debug issues using logs/metrics/trace tools; verify fixes and prevent regressions.
Own post-deploy smoke testing and release sign-off for web apps and mobile apps; document results and risks.
Continuously improve the QA/SDET toolchain and practices (coding standards, coverage goals, flake budgets, reporting dashboards).

WHAT MAKES YOU QUALIFIED

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Software or related field (advanced degrees a plus).
3+ years in software testing with strong grounding in functional/regression and modern test design techniques (BC, EP, pairwise, etc.).
Hands-on experience testing web applications and mobile apps end-to-end, including UX/UAT and bug verification across browsers/devices.
2+ years focused on test automation, including designing scalable frameworks and CI integration.
Proficiency with Cypress (preferred) and JavaScript/TypeScript; experience with API testing (Postman/Newman, supertest, REST/GraphQL) and at least one additional tool (Playwright/WebdriverIO/Jest/Mocha).
Comfortable with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/CircleCI/GitLab), Git, and basic Docker; familiarity with env management and secrets.
Strong analytical skills; fluency with SDLC/Agile and tooling (Atlassian suite or similar).
Ability to produce clear documentation (test plans, traceability, results) and communicate risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit/integration/E2E) with a focus on reliability and maintainability.
Experience with Cypress specifically (selectors, fixtures, commands, intercepts, parallelization).
