Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET/UI/API/Mapping/AI/Hybrid)

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

$130,000 - $180,000 Base + Benefits

Denver, CO (Hybrid)

Stack: E2E Automation (UI & API), CI/CD, Mapbox/MapLibre, Agentic AI (Claude, Cursor)

Mission: Owning the production quality gate for a high-resolution AI weather and orbital intelligence platform.

Tired of acting as a manual bug-catcher in slow-moving QA silos where you never touch real production code?

A high-growth global space-data platform just engineered a massive AI-driven weather forecasting engine delivering high-frequency global updates. They need an engineering-first SDET to take full ownership of the staging-to-production quality gate for their flagship visual intelligence platform serving commercial aviation, utilities, and logistics.

This isn't a traditional click-testing role. You'll use frontier agentic AI workflows daily to build synthetic data generators, automate complex spatial UI validation, and ship production bug fixes directly.

Why Build Here:

⚡ AI-First Velocity: Leverage frontier agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor) daily to accelerate test architecture, synthetic tooling, and debugging.

🛡️ Total Gatekeeper Autonomy: Own the CI/CD quality gates and make the final call on when staging releases are ready for production deployment.

🚀 Production Code Contribution: Don't just file tickets—contribute production code, bug fixes, and features directly to the frontend and platform repos.

🛰️ High-Resolution Spatial Scale: Validate complex, live-updating geospatial models and visual telemetry with zero corporate bureaucracy.

The Tech & Work:

• Write and maintain automated end-to-end tests across complex spatial frontend workflows and backend REST APIs

• Validate high-frequency asynchronous data updates (forecast uncertainty, data freshness, and live alert severity)

• Inspect visual model outputs on interactive dashboards to catch rendering anomalies and data artifacts before release

• Build custom test tooling and synthetic data generators to simulate reproducible edge-case scenarios

• Own CI/CD pipeline quality gates and ship direct production fixes across frontend and platform codebases

Hard Filters:

✅ U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder

✅ Proven software engineering background with production coding experience alongside E2E automation (UI, API, and CI/CD)

✅ Demonstrated daily fluency with frontier AI models and agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to ship and validate code rapidly

✅ Hands-on experience testing complex frontend state, asynchronous real-time data streams, and system failure modes

✅ Based in (or willing to relocate to) the Denver/Boulder, CO area for a hybrid schedule (3+ days/week onsite)

➕ Bonus: Experience with spatial visualization libraries (MapLibre, Mapbox, deck.gl) or weather, aviation, and geospatial datasets
