Software Engineer in Test

OrderMesh is the operating system powering modern print-on-demand fulfillment. We build software that sits at the center of a highly complex global supply chain connecting brands, marketplaces, and producers through a single, intelligent order orchestration platform. OrderMesh is part of Taylor Corporation, a multi-billion-dollar global leader in print, manufacturing, and technology-enabled services. Together, OrderMesh and Taylor are transforming how physical products are produced, routed, and fulfilled, using modern, API-first software to replace fragmented, legacy systems that were never built for todays scale or speed. Join OrderMesh if youre looking for the best of a technology startup but with the stability and backbone of an enterprise corporation. As part of Taylor Corporation, we offer long-term stability and financial backing, access to real production environments and enterprise-grade use cases, deep domain expertise in manufacturing, logistics, and supply chains, the ability to build software that runs at global scale, and investment in security, compliance (SOC 2), and reliability from day one. As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Ordermesh Inc, you will be a key force in evolving our automation-first quality culture. Youll design test systems that validate functionality and ensure the stability, performance, and security of the platform. This role requires owning the automation narrative, measuring quality in real-time, and enabling developers to ship confidently through self-service, CI-driven quality pipelines. At OrderMesh, SDETs are not just gatekeepers; they are enablers who empower development teams to deliver quality continuously, confidently, and autonomously. **Key Responsibilities:** - Champion an automation-first mindset; manual testing should be the exception, not the rule. - Design, build, and scale automated test frameworks for APIs, UI, and end-to-end microservice validation using Node.js, Playwright, and related frameworks. - Develop load and resilience testing suites with Grafana k6 to benchmark and harden distributed systems. - Integrate test execution and quality gates deeply into GitHub Actions for validation by automation. - Collaborate closely with MCPs to design automated validation of message schemas, ACLs, and service dependencies. - Mock endpoints with services like microcks or postman to simulate responses. - Lead TDD adoption and enforce test coverage standards across repositories. - Embed security testing and data validation checks into automation frameworks for proactive vulnerability detection. - Create test observability dashboards that expose quality metrics alongside performance and error budgets. - Perform exploratory testing to supplement automation with contextual discovery and edge-case validation. - Drive a shared understanding of quality across environments with developers, SREs, and product managers. **Minimum Qualifications:** - 5+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks for microservice and web applications. - Strong proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, or equivalent modern language. - Demonstrated experience integrating tests into CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps. - Proven track record in load testing (Grafana k6) and performance analysis at scale. - Experience validating MCP integrations including message brokers (Kafka), service meshes (Istio), and REST/gRPC endpoints. - Working knowledge of Playwright or similar browser automation frameworks. - Understanding of TDD, security testing, and DevSecOps principles. - Excellent debugging, observability, and root-cause analysis skills. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience. - Passion for driving automation-first culture and mentoring others in modern test engineering practices.
