[Remote] Senior Software Engineer in Test (SET)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Stord is The Consumer Experience Company, powering seamless checkout through delivery for today's leading brands. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer in Test to own quality engineering for their Commerce product surface, executing structured manual QA while building automation infrastructure to enhance quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the quality gate for Commerce feature releases
• Write and execute test plans, run structured regression passes before releases, and document coverage gaps with enough fidelity that engineers can act on them immediately
• Build an E2E test suite covering key customer journeys across the storefront and brand portal, wired into CI so regressions are caught on every PR
• Make it easy for engineers to add coverage as a natural part of shipping
• Own the quality strategy for Stord's Shopify-embedded products: storefront app blocks, checkout extensions, onboarding flows, and the brand configuration interface
• Define the right mix of automated and manual coverage for a surface that spans multiple merchant themes and checkout environments
• Maintain a structured cross-theme QA playbook for compatibility scenarios that require human verification
• Define coverage matrices and quality gates tied to Commerce's product areas: Protect, Engage, Resolve, Unbox, and Renew
• Surface quality metrics to the team so regressions and gaps are visible before they reach production
• Participate in sprint planning and spec reviews to shift quality left

Skills

• Software Engineer in Test or quality engineering experience (4+ years) — You have worked as a dedicated SET or quality engineer in a production software environment, owning test strategy for a meaningful product surface rather than executing tests written by others. You have tested against real scale: multi-team codebases, high-release-cadence teams, or customer-facing surfaces where defects have measurable business impact
• TypeScript (4+ years) — You write real production TypeScript across test frameworks and CI tooling, not just configuration files. You can navigate a codebase you did not write
• E2E test automation — You have built and maintained Playwright or Cypress suites against real web applications in production CI. You know how to handle flakiness, authenticated flows, and rate-limited environments
• Manual QA methodology — You write test plans, execute structured regression passes, and file bugs with enough detail that engineers do not need to ask follow-up questions
• CI/CD integration — You have wired test suites into GitHub Actions or equivalent. You know when to block a PR versus report asynchronously
• API testing — You test at the API layer directly, not only through a UI, and understand request/response contracts and authentication flows
• Directed AI-Assisted Development — You use AI coding tools as a productivity multiplier while maintaining independent technical judgment. This is a hard requirement
• Ownership and Accountability — You own the quality outcomes for your product area, not just the tasks assigned to you. If something ships with a regression, you care personally and act to prevent the next one
• Strong Communication — You translate 'this is broken' into a bug report that gets fixed, and 'here is what I am building' into a test strategy a PM and an engineer both understand
• Production Mindset — You think about failure modes, edge cases, and the real end-customer experience. A feature is not tested because the happy path passed
• Learning Agility — The Shopify platform evolves fast. You stay current, update your approach when the tooling changes, and do not get attached to how things worked six months ago
• Familiarity with Shopify app development: theme app extensions, checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, or App Bridge
• Experience with visual regression tools (Percy, Chromatic, or equivalent)
• Commerce or ecommerce domain knowledge
• Experience establishing test infrastructure in a team without dedicated QA
• Python proficiency
