Radiant - United Kingdom - Global - Construction & Infrastructure
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.

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.
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.
