SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER IN TEST (SDET)

Stellar Science is seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer in Test to help shape and maintain all aspects of software development from a quality perspective.

At Stellar Science, everyone in the team owns software quality and testing. The primary function for this role is to make that process easier by contributing to our existing test suites.

The ideal candidate will be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle to improve both the development and user experience.

Our stack:

• Developing: CMake, C , Qt, Python, JavaScript
• Testing: Boost, Squish, PyTest, Selenium
