About Us
We're building the next generation of urban mobility in Southeast Asia. Our car-sharing platform connects drivers with vehicles seamlessly, managing complex logistics, real-time tracking, payments, and user experiences at scale.
We are a lean, fast-moving engineering team that ships features users rely on daily.
Role Overview
As a Staff SDET, you will own the quality and test automation strategy across our entire product ecosystem - including mobile applications (iOS & Android), web platforms, and backend APIs.
You will serve as the hands-on technical authority for testing, responsible for designing automation frameworks, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, and continuously raising the engineering quality bar.
This is an individual contributor (IC) role. You will lead through technical excellence and automation-first thinking.
Key Responsibilities
Test Automation & Platform
- Design and build a scalable test automation platform (frameworks, tooling, test data, reporting)
- Develop and maintain automated test suites across UI (mobile & web), API, integration, and performance layers
Quality Strategy & Governance
- Own end-to-end QA strategy across mobile, web, and backend systems
- Define and enforce quality standards, testing processes, and release criteria
- Champion a strong quality culture and promote shift-left testing practices
CI/CD & Release Enablement
- Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines for fast and reliable deployments
- Support continuous delivery with high confidence in releases
Performance & Reliability
- Design and execute performance and load testing strategies to ensure scalability
- Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve quality issues through root cause analysis
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with engineering teams to resolve defects and improve product quality
- Communicate risks, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders
- Perform exploratory and end-to-end testing, including real-world scenarios where applicable
Requirements
- Minimum 8 years of experience in software testing, automation, or quality engineering
- Strong expertise in white-box, grey-box, and black-box testing
- Proficient in at least one programming language (preferably JavaScript/TypeScript)
Technical Skills
- Web automation frameworks (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, WebdriverIO)
- Mobile automation tools (e.g. Appium, Detox, Maestro, XCUITest, Espresso)
- API testing (REST, GraphQL)
- CI/CD tools (e.g. GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Fastlane)
Core Competencies
- Experience building QA automation platforms from scratch
- Strong understanding of QA strategy (balancing coverage, speed, and cost)
- Familiar with Agile methodologies (Scrum, TDD, BDD)
- Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
- Experience in security testing and penetration testing
- Familiarity with code quality tools (e.g. SonarQube, ESLint)
- Performance testing tools (e.g. k6, JMeter, Gatling)
- Observability tools (e.g. Datadog, Grafana, Sentry)
- Valid driving licence (for real-world testing scenarios)
- Additional language proficiency beyond English
