Here are the top 6 software testing jobs for 08-Sep-26
Note on count: seven strong, verifiable openings were not found today. Several promising leads (Okta QA Automation Engineer, PayPay India Engineering Manager – Automation QA/SDET, Postman Senior Performance Test Engineer, Freshworks Lead SET) turned out to be closed, redirected to a generic careers page, or absent from the employer’s current live job list when the application link was checked, so they were dropped rather than padding the list. Six roles below passed every filter and had a working application link at the time of this report.
Note on freshness: none of today’s sources (Workday, Visa, and LPL Financial’s Workday-hosted career sites) expose an exact “posted X hours/days ago” timestamp through search. Where that’s the case it’s marked “recent, exact timing not shown by source” instead of guessing.
Note on duplicates: checked against the dedupe log covering every run from 2026-08-20 through 2026-09-07 (18 prior runs, 100+ jobs). All six roles below are new; none match a prior company + title + location combination.
Company: Visa
Role: Sr. SW Engineer – SDET (Automation, GenAI Tooling, API Testing)
Location: Bengaluru, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Hybrid (minimum 3 days/week in office)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: design and implement automation frameworks from scratch for Visa’s Cloud Platform team, and build AI tooling, AI agents, and MCP server components to support QA activities like intelligent test generation and failure analysis
- Required skills: strong ownership of test architecture, ability to embed quality-by-design practices with development, DevOps, and SRE teams
- Experience required: 3-7 years in software engineering with a strong emphasis on test automation or test platform development
- Testing technologies: UI and API test automation integrated deeply into CI/CD pipelines
- Automation tools: Selenium, Playwright, Robot Framework, RestAssured
- Programming languages: Java and/or Python
Why This One Stands Out: This isn’t automation-as-usual, it’s Visa asking testers to build the AI agents and MCP server components that test the platform, which puts a QA hire directly on the GenAI tooling curve rather than just consuming it.
Trust Rating: High Trust

Company: Workday
Role: Principal SDET Engineer – Platform Security
Location: Chennai, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Onsite/Hybrid (Chennai office)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: build and manage CI/CD pipelines for authentication and security features, focusing on stability, automation, and continuous improvement so security teams can ship faster with more confidence
- Required skills: security testing principles and tooling (OWASP, ZAP) to identify vulnerabilities, plus a track record mentoring junior engineers
- Experience required: roughly 10-15 years, per the role’s listing on Naukri’s mirror of this posting
- Testing technologies: security-focused test automation embedded in CI/CD
- Automation tools: OWASP, ZAP, and standard CI/CD tooling
- Programming languages: not explicitly listed; expect Java/Python proficiency typical of Workday’s SDET track
Why This One Stands Out: Security testing at principal level is a narrow lane, and pairing it with a company the size of Workday means this is one of the more senior, harder-to-fill mandates on today’s list rather than a generic automation opening.
Trust Rating: High Trust

Company: LPL Financial (Global Capability Center)
Role: Senior Engineer – Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), Platform Modernization
Location: Hyderabad, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Onsite/Hybrid (GCC Hyderabad)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks for a modernized platform, working with development and DevOps teams to drive a quality-first approach and mentoring junior SDETs
- Required skills: API testing, cloud-native and microservices testing, containerization and CI/CD, plus explicit “proficient with AI to drive migrations”
- Experience required: 7+ years in SDET or QA roles with a strong test automation focus
- Testing technologies: performance testing (JMeter, LoadRunner), API testing (Postman, RestAssured, Karate)
- Automation tools: Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, TestNG, JUnit, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps
- Programming languages: Java, Python, C#, or Go
Why This One Stands Out: This is a legacy-to-cloud platform modernization mandate at a major US broker-dealer’s India center, and it explicitly wants someone who uses AI to accelerate the migration itself, not just to test around it.

Company: Workday
Role: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)
Location: Chennai, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Onsite/Hybrid (Chennai office)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: build and maintain automated test coverage for Workday’s HCM/Financials platform components as part of the core Chennai engineering org
- Required skills: automated test design, defect triage, and collaboration with feature teams on testability
- Experience required: mid-to-senior level based on comparable Workday SDET postings in the same location cluster
- Testing technologies: automated regression and integration testing for enterprise SaaS
- Automation tools: not itemized in the public listing; expect Workday’s standard Java/Selenium-based stack
- Programming languages: Java-centric, consistent with other Workday India SDET roles
Why This One Stands Out: Workday is running multiple concurrent SDET searches out of Chennai right now, so this is a company actively scaling its India quality engineering bench rather than backfilling a single seat.

Company: Visa
Role: Software Test Engineer (Database, DWH and ETL Testing)
Location: Bengaluru, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Hybrid (minimum 3 days/week in office)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: validate data pipelines, warehouse loads, and ETL transformations feeding Visa’s analytics and reporting systems
- Required skills: SQL-heavy data validation, data quality checks, and reconciliation testing across warehouse layers
- Experience required: mid-level, consistent with Visa’s standard Software Test Engineer track in Bengaluru
- Testing technologies: data warehouse and ETL-specific test design, not general UI automation
- Automation tools: database testing and reconciliation tooling rather than Selenium/Playwright-style UI frameworks
- Programming languages: SQL as the primary skill, with scripting in Python typically expected alongside it
Why This One Stands Out: It’s a rare listing focused purely on data and ETL quality rather than UI or API automation, which is the right seat for a tester who wants to specialize in data engineering-adjacent QA instead of front-end test scripts.

Company: LPL Financial (Global Capability Center)
Role: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) – Mobile Apps
Location: Hyderabad, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Remote / Hybrid / Onsite: Onsite/Hybrid (GCC Hyderabad)
Posted: recent, exact timing not shown by source
Job Description Summary:
- Primary responsibilities: build and maintain automated test coverage for LPL’s native iOS and Android advisor and investor apps
- Required skills: mobile test automation strategy, device/OS fragmentation handling, and close collaboration with mobile engineering
- Experience required: 5-8 years in software testing and test automation with a strong focus on mobile applications
- Testing technologies: native iOS and Android app testing
- Automation tools: mobile automation frameworks (Appium-class tooling typical for this stack, per the role family)
- Programming languages: expect Java/Kotlin or Swift-adjacent scripting alongside standard automation languages
Why This One Stands Out: Mobile-specific SDET seats are rarer than general web/API automation roles, and this one sits inside a financial services GCC that’s visibly building out multiple parallel quality tracks (platform, mobile) rather than a single generalist QA team.
