IDEXX Payments is seeking a Software Engineer who specializes in quality, automation, and release confidence to help advance how we validate and ship mission‑critical payment systems. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on building scalable automated testing capabilities, strengthening release safety, and enabling teams to deliver changes confidently in a regulated, cloud‑native environment.
This is not a manual QA or test‑execution role. It is an engineering position with ownership over test architecture, automation frameworks, and quality enablement. You will work closely with software engineers to embed automated testing and release validation into everyday development workflows. This is not a hand-off or sign-off testing function and not a UI-only or Selenium-heavy automation position.
In this Role You will:
Design and evolve automated API and component‑level test frameworks in TypeScript, aligned with modern testing best practices.
Build tests that validate running services and real infrastructure behavior, rather than heavily mocked code paths.
Establish and maintain integration and contract testing for service‑to‑service and external interfaces.
Strengthen automated regression coverage to support reliable, frequent releases.
Expand and curate a focused Playwright E2E suite that protects critical user and payment workflows.
Enable local and CI‑based test execution using containerized or ephemeral infrastructure where appropriate.
Partner with engineers to integrate testing into normal development and deployment workflows.
Leverage observability and production telemetry signals to inform test coverage and failure‑detection strategies.
What We're Looking For:
Strong TypeScript experience (core language for services, tooling, and tests)
Deep experience with Jest or equivalent modern test frameworks
Proven ability to design and maintain test frameworks and automation infrastructure
Experience testing RESTful APIs and event‑driven systems
Working knowledge of AWS‑based architectures (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, messaging)
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
Nice to Have:
Contract testing (e.g., Pact or similar)
Playwright for end‑to‑end and workflow‑level testing
Docker or container‑based testing strategies
Distributed systems or financial / payment‑processing domains
Experience coaching or influencing teams on test strategy and quality ownership
What do you need to succeed?
Automated tests provide meaningful signal and release confidence
Engineers rely on test feedback as part of normal development and deployment
Quality scales with system complexity without reliance on manual verification
Regressions are detected early and consistently
What you can expect from us:
Base salary range starting of $125,000-$135,000 based on experience
Opportunity for annual cash bonus
Health / Dental / Vision Benefits Day-One
5% matching 401k
Additional benefits including but not limited to financial support, pet insurance, mental health resources, volunteer paid days off, employee stock program, foundation donation matching, and much more
