Who We Are
Holistiplan is a fast-growing, fast-paced company within the Financial Technology (FinTech) sector. With more than 50,000 users, our award-winning software delivers comprehensive financial planning at scale. Our platform enables financial advisors to coordinate tax planning, P&C insurance planning, and estate planning solutions from a single, unified system. We've been voted the #1 tax planning software in the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025 Kitces Report Studies and the #1 tax planning software for 5 consecutive years in the T3 / Inside Information Software Surveys.
About the Role
We're hiring an SDET to own our test automation platform: the framework, the infrastructure it runs on, and the developer experience around it. This is a software engineering role. You'll write production-grade TypeScript, design systems your colleagues rely on every day, and set the direction for how automated testing scales across our product.
You won't be doing this alone. You'll work closely with the QA Manager and engineering leadership to set clear automation goals and focus coverage where it has the most impact. And as our testing practices evolve, you'll shape how AI fits in: building the evals, guardrails, and repeatable patterns that make AI-assisted and agentic testing something the team can actually trust.
This is a fully remote position, primarily open to candidates based in LATAM.
What You'll Do
Own & Evolve the Automation Infrastructure
- Own our Playwright and TypeScript framework end to end, and keep making it faster and more reliable
- Design the patterns (Page Object Model, reusable fixtures, shared utilities) that make tests fast and consistent for everyone to write
- Run the test execution infrastructure: parallelization, retries, and environment isolation
- Keep the framework approachable, so a developer's first test is easy to write and hard to get wrong
- Own verification of infrastructure changes that fall outside the normal dev flow (base image updates, security patches, dependency bumps, platform upgrades), and convert that recurring work into automated regression coverage
Track and Report Automation Metrics
- Own the reporting on pass rate, flaky rate, coverage by feature, failure attribution, and mean time to resolution
- Get those metrics in front of engineering and product leadership through dashboards or whatever tooling is needed
- Read the trends to spot coverage gaps, reliability hotspots, and what to automate next
- Treat flaky tests as a real problem worth structured root cause analysis and tracking, not a shrug
- Tune test selection (risk-based and change-aware) to get the most signal in the least time
Enable Engineers Across the Stack
- Run workshops and pair with developers and QA to make writing automated tests less daunting
- Make automated testing a normal part of "done," not an afterthought
- Build the scaffolding, generators, and AI-assisted tooling that let developers write unit, component, and API tests without deep testing expertise
- Coach front-end and back-end engineers to own their slice of the test pyramid
Build AI-Assisted and Agentic Testing
- Stand up AI-assisted triage that tells real bugs apart from flakes and environment noise, suggests a likely root cause, and routes the failure to the right owner
- Evaluate self-healing and AI maintenance tools, and call where they cut real upkeep versus where they just add noise
- Build the feedback loop (rubrics, evals, and guardrails) that makes agent-generated tests something we can trust over time
- Use AI to multiply coverage and reduce maintenance, not just crank out volume. More generated code means more surface area to keep honest, and that's yours to manage
- Share what works through docs, demos, and enablement so the whole team levels up
Implement Synthetic Monitoring and Production Quality
- Work with DevOps and infra on synthetic checks that watch critical user journeys in production, and own the authoring and coverage strategy
- Build alerting around synthetic failures that's useful: specific, with enough context to act on
- Add production signals like canary analysis and error rate tracking that tie test coverage back to real-world behavior
What You'll Bring
Required
- 5+ years as a software engineer, with 3+ years owning test automation frameworks or developer tooling
- Deep hands-on expertise with Playwright and TypeScript, with production-grade frameworks behind you, not just scripts
- Proven experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines with a focus on reliability and developer experience
- Solid grasp of the full test pyramid and the ability to coach others on it
- Experience tracking automation health metrics (pass rate, flaky rate, coverage, failure attribution)
- Strong English communication skills and comfort presenting to engineers and leadership
- A builder's mindset: you see process friction and feel compelled to fix it
Strongly Preferred
- Active use of AI coding tools, with real experience deploying agentic workflows for test generation, triage, or maintenance
- Experience with synthetic monitoring in production (Playwright-based checks, Datadog Synthetics, or similar)
- Familiarity with self-healing test platforms or strategies
- Experience enabling developers and QA engineers to write automated tests through tooling or education
- SaaS or FinTech background, ideally with data-driven workflows or complex multi-step user journeys

Why Holistiplan
Quality isn't a phase here. It's part of how we build. You'll have real ownership: setting the direction for how we automate, building systems your colleagues use every day, and working directly with engineering and QA leadership, all while helping financial advisors do their best work for their clients.
