Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)
Dublin / Ireland (Hybrid)
FinTech | Payments | SaaS
GTreasury is building out a mission-critical Payments Engineering team, and we're looking for a Senior SDET who wants to own quality, shape strategy, and influence how software is built — not just how it's tested.
What makes this role different?
You'll be the quality leader for a newly formed payments team, with real autonomy to:
* Define and drive the testing strategy end-to-end
* Embed shift-left thinking into everyday engineering practices
* Influence developers and product partners from design through delivery
* Improve and evolve automation, CI/CD integration, and test performance
* Champion quality as a shared responsibility — not a silo
This is a hands-on, technical leadership role. You won't be managing people, but you
will
be setting direction.
The kind of SDET we're hoping to meet
You're someone who:
* Has operated as a senior or lead-level SDET in complex systems
* Is comfortable challenging existing tooling and practices
* Understands automation at scale — parallel execution, isolation, CI/CD feedback loops
* Enjoys working closely with engineers and product, not behind them
* Cares deeply about real customer outcomes, not just coverage metrics
Experience in payments, fintech, or highly integrated platforms is a big plus — but mindset matters more than domain labels.
Tech-wise
Current tools include Cypress, Selenium, Azure, CI/CD pipelines — but there's genuine openness to improvement. If you've used Playwright or modern automation approaches and can articulate
why
they work better, that will be a big advantage.
Why GTreasury?
* High-impact role in a growing SaaS FinTech platform
* Strong engineering culture with space to influence and improve
* Hybrid working model (Ireland-based)
* Backed by Ripple, with the scale and ambition that brings
If you're an SDET who wants ownership, influence, and the chance to shape how quality really works, I'd love to talk.
