Okta is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer in Test for its UI Engineering team. In this role, you will own the test framework and quality strategy for frontend and platform surfaces, ensuring every UI release meets the highest standards for functional correctness, visual consistency, accessibility, and global usability.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design and own scalable UI test architecture and frameworks used across multiple frontend teams
- Build and maintain cross-browser and visual regression testing suites to catch UI regressions before release
- Establish automated and manual accessibility (WCAG) testing practices integrated into CI/CD
- Design and maintain localization/globalization test coverage across locales, languages, and RTL layouts
- Ensure out-of-the-box configurations and default behaviors are verified across all supported environments
- Review requirements and design specs to develop test plans and test strategy for platform-level and frontend initiatives
- Work with engineering management to scope and plan cross-team quality engineering efforts
- Clearly communicate and document QE architecture and plans for scrum teams to review and adopt
- Respond to production issues and customer issues during on-call rotation
- Mentor SDETs, new hires, and interns; influence engineering-wide quality standards
This is a senior individual contributor role with significant technical leadership scope. You will set technical direction across teams and operate with minimal supervision, rather than managing direct reports.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of quality engineering experience with deep, hands-on test automation expertise
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to read and write production-quality frontend code
- Hands-on expertise with modern UI testing technologies (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver)
- Proven experience with cross-browser testing, visual regression testing, accessibility testing, and localization/globalization testing
- Demonstrated experience designing test architecture and frameworks from the ground up, not just writing tests within an existing framework
- Ability to operate and lead with minimal supervision, setting technical direction for other engineers
- Ability to quickly learn new technologies and provide input at an architectural level
- B.S. in Computer Science or related field
