Principal SDET

Radiant - United Kingdom - Global - Construction & Infrastructure

What You'll Do

As a Principal SDET, you will help set the technical direction for testing and quality in one of our engineering teams. This is not traditional QA: you'll build the test infrastructure and developer experience that let the team ship quickly and safely.

You'll partner closely with software engineers, platform engineers, and SRE.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, through architecture, code, and the standards other teams build on.

The teams

  • Infra

  • Network

  • Cloud

  • Observability

  • MLOps

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Set the test strategy and architecture for your team.

  • Build test frameworks for APIs, services, and end-to-end flows.

  • Build test environments that reflect real GPU and cluster behaviour.

  • Integrate testing into CI/CD so it's fast and reliable.

  • Make testing easy for every engineer, and raise the quality bar across teams.

 

Your Profile

  • Extensive software engineering experience, focused on testing and quality infrastructure.

  • A track record of technical leadership at staff or principal level, including setting direction across multiple teams and delivering complex, high-stakes systems.

  • Strong hands-on engineering skills in Go.

  • Experience testing gRPC and REST APIs and distributed systems.

  • Experience building end-to-end test frameworks and test environments.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including clear design documents and explaining complex trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.

 

What You Bring

  • Developer experience: Think in fast feedback for engineers, not just test coverage.

  • Engineering excellence: Write and review code that sets the standard for correctness, performance, and maintainability.
