Whether shopping in the grocery aisle, grabbing a bite at the drive-through or playing a favorite mobile game, Fetch empowers consumers to live rewarded throughout their day. To date, we’ve delivered more than $1 billion in rewards and earned more than 5 million five-star reviews from happy users. • It’s not just our users who believe in Fetch: with investments from SoftBank, Univision, and Hamilton Lane, and partnerships ranging from challenger brands to Fortune 500 companies, Fetch is reshaping how brands and consumers connect in the marketplace. When you work at Fetch, you play a vital role in a platform that drives brand loyalty and creates lifelong consumers with the power of Fetch points. User and partner success are at the heart of everything we do, and we extend that same commitment to our employees. • Ranked as one of America’s Best Startup Employers by Forbes for two years in a row, Fetch fosters a people-first culture rooted in trust, accountability, and innovation. We encourage our employees to challenge ideas, think bigger, and always bring the fun to Fetch. • Meet Fetch Engineering: At Fetch, we are passionate about solving challenging problems and embracing ambiguity. Our engineering philosophy promotes adaptability and innovation over rigid adherence to rules. Our engineers thrive in complex environments, making well-informed decisions even in uncertain situations. We seek out the necessary information and focus on action and impact, while consistently upholding high technical standards. In this role, you will be a technical leader, shaping best practices to build world-class, user-facing technology. You will mentor fellow engineers, fostering technical growth and collaboration within the team. As a hands-on leader, you will actively contribute to the codebase and deliver features alongside your team. • About the role: We are looking for a Staff SDET who will play a pivotal role in driving the quality of our software products through innovative test automation solutions and leadership. You will leverage your expertise in test automation, software development, and quality assurance to design, implement, and optimize testing strategies and frameworks that will ensure the highest quality standards across our products. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex environments, is technically proficient, and can collaborate effectively across teams. • At Fetch, our QA team is more than just a checkpoint—it’s a critical driver in our engineering efforts, with 36 professionals eager to grow and innovate. We tackle a diverse range of test automation needs: mobile end-to-end testing on Appium with Ruby, backend testing in Python using Pytest, performance testing with Locust and K6, mobile analytics leveraging a custom framework in Go, and web UI testing using Playwright. • We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just think about today but envisions what our test automation will need to look like down the road. As we scale, we need proactive thinkers who can anticipate the unknown, look around the corner, and create a vision for how our testing will support future product growth. This means exploring unconventional approaches and implementing innovative checks throughout our systems to elevate confidence in every release. • A core part of this role will be helping to grow the technical skills of the team. You’ll regularly mentor and guide early-career engineers and analysts, sharing insights, driving best practices, and ensuring the team continuously levels up. By fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment, you’ll set a high bar for QA at Fetch and play a crucial role in building a skilled, resilient team prepared to meet tomorrow’s challenges. • If you’re ready to shape the future of quality assurance at Fetch, we’d love to have you on board!
