The Role
As a Junior SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test), you will support the team in building and optimizing automated testing frameworks, and deeply engage in quality assurance throughout the software product lifecycle. In an agile development environment, you’ll collaborate closely with Product, R&D, DevOps, and other technical teams. By combining manual + automated testing approaches, you’ll ensure product functional stability and user experience quality, while rapidly growing your test automation skills to progress toward senior technical roles.


What You’ll Do
Assist in designing and maintaining basic modules of automated testing frameworks to support testing needs for web applications, mobile apps, backend services, etc.
Participate in requirement reviews and test plan creation, translating business requirements into executable manual/automated test cases.
Execute basic testing tasks (e.g., functional testing, API testing), document test results, and track the full defect lifecycle from submission to closure.
Develop basic automated test scripts (e.g., UI automation, API automation) using Python/Java or other OOP languages to gradually improve testing efficiency.
Collaborate with R&D teams to reproduce defects, provide test data, and assist in root cause analysis of issues.
Learn and apply mainstream testing tools (e.g., Selenium, Postman, JUnit/Pytest) to expand your technical toolkit.
Engage in agile iterations, communicate testing progress within Scrum teams, and assist in pre - release quality acceptance for version deployments.
Maintain test documentation (test plans, test case libraries, test reports, etc.) to ensure test processes are traceable and reusable.
Participate in code reviews, learn coding standards, and experiment with writing unit/integration test cases to strengthen code quality awareness.


What You’ll Bring

Must Have：
 Bachelor’s degree or above, preferably in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Test Engineering, or related fields.
1 year of experience in SDET/Test Automation/Software Testing (internships included); candidates with automated testing practice are preferred.
Proficiency in at least one object - oriented programming language (e.g., C#/Java) with a solid understanding of basic syntax and coding standards.
Familiarity with agile development processes (Scrum/Kanban) and the ability to communicate efficiently in cross - functional teams.
Basic database knowledge (e.g., MySQL/Oracle) with the ability to write simple SQL queries and data validation statements.
A fundamental understanding of core software testing processes (requirement analysis → test design → execution → defect management) with strong logical thinking and eagerness to learn.


Nice to Have：
Exposure to UI automation tools (e.g., Selenium/Appium) or API testing tools (e.g., Postman) with experience writing simple automated scripts.
A basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins job configuration, Git branch management) and participation in continuous testing workflows.
Initial knowledge of mobile testing (iOS/Android), performance testing (e.g., JMeter), or microservices architecture.
Familiarity with basic Linux commands or hands - on experience with Docker containers (deployment/usage).
The ability to independently reproduce defects and conduct preliminary issue troubleshooting.
