Job Description Role Mission: Establish reliable and scalable quality engineering practices for StarHub’s digital platforms across mobile, web, backend and cloud-native systems. The Senior SDET will partner with engineering, product, architecture, DevOps/SRE, security and delivery teams to shift quality left, build meaningful automated quality gates, transition vendor-owned automation into sustainable in-house ownership, and provide fast, risk-based release confidence during migration, refactoring and platform modernisation initiatives. Accountabilities: Take ownership of the existing test automation from vendors and establish clear quality and governance standards, documentation, CI integration, reliability and maintainability expectations so automation becomes an integral part of product engineering. Improve coverage, reliability and efficiency of automated tests across different platforms like web, mobile and backend Improve quality of releases in terms of user experience and satisfaction by ensuring testability and automated tests are treated as first class citizens in the SDLC Responsibilities: Partner with developers to design and implement tests at the right layer of the test pyramid or testing trophy, including unit, component, contract, API, integration, e2e, visual, accessibility Setup automated quality gates across the SDLC to ensure issues are found as early as possible Establish and track metrics for test automation to drive improvement and accountability Improve test automation coverage, reliability and efficiency. Use AI agents and coding assistants responsibly to assist with test planning, requirements analysis, risk discovery, test design, automation development, test data generation, failure triage, coverage gap analysis, documentation and refactoring. Build internal tools, libraries, and platforms that make quality practices easier for both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders. Partner with developers to improve testability, observability, data setup, environment reliability and release confidence. Work with stakeholders across engineering and QE to ensure alignment on automation approaches and goals. Work with vendors to deliver automation solutions to the standards defined.

Designed dashboards for reporting on test automation stats to stakeholders Integrated tests with CI/CD pipelines Used AI coding assistants or agents such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex or equivalent for testing, automation, documentation, triage or quality analysis. Managed test environments and test automation infrastructure on cloud services like AWS, GCP, Browserstack, LambdaTest. Built internal tools and utilities to make testing and QE easily accessible for both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders improving productivity.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
