Who is Boulevard? Boulevard provides the first and only client experience platform for appointment-based, self-care businesses. We empower our customers to give their clients more of the magical moments that matter most. Before launching in 2016, our founders spent months interviewing salon managers and working behind front desks to understand their pain points so we could design a modern, user-friendly platform that meets the unique needs of their business. Our roots may be in hair salons, but we are built for the broader self-care industry, including many types of salons, spas, medspa, barbershops, and more. Our technology not only helps our customers survive but thrive. Take a look at how we (and YOU) can make that happen . We have an insatiable curiosity and embrace experimentation. We believe that simple solutions require the most sophistication, and we design each and every detail to maximize potential, power, and impact. Do our values match? Read through our story and what we value the most . Our team values and celebrates our diverse backgrounds. Being open about who we are and what we do allows us to do the best work of our lives. We believe in equal opportunity for all, and you should too. Who is Boulevard? Boulevard provides the first and only client experience platform for appointment based, self-care businesses.

Boulevard is building an enterprise-grade quality program, and the Senior SDET will be a foundational hire. This role will own the health of our CI/CD pipelines and the engineering patterns that make automated testing fast, reliable, and trusted across our Elixir and TypeScript codebases. You'll partner closely with the Engineering leadership and engineering teams across our frontend and backend systems to turn CI from a source of friction into a source of signal. The work will range from diagnosing and killing flaky tests, to shaving real time off pipeline runtime, to establishing the integration testing patterns our Elixir engineers will rely on for years. As the program matures, you'll also help bring AI-assisted test generation and spec-driven development into our day-to-day workflow. This will be a high-ownership, high-leverage IC role. Your work will be felt by every engineer at Boulevard, every day. What you'll do here : Own the stability and performance of CI across our frontend and backend repositories. You'll drive success rates up, runtimes down, and help establish "no merge on red" as a cultural default rather than a negotiation. Hunt down flakiness. You'll identify, triage, and fix the top sources of non-determinism in our test suites, and build the tooling that will make flake visible and attributable before it becomes noise. Establish Elixir unit and integration testing patterns. You'll partner with backend engineers to define how we test service boundaries, write the reference implementations, and document the patterns so they scale beyond you. Optimize pipeline performance. You'll improve parallelization, caching, and test ordering to deliver meaningful reductions in CI runtime across both frontend and backend pipelines. Build developer-facing tooling and dashboards that will surface CI health, test ownership, flake rate, coverage trends, and pipeline duration - making quality signal actionable for every team. Contribute to release readiness. You'll help define lightweight, durable criteria for what "ready to ship" looks like, and wire those criteria into the pipeline. Bring AI-assisted test generation and spec-driven development workflows into our Elixir framework, starting with one service area and expanding based on what we learn. Partner with the QA Engineer (E2E coverage) and the QA Lead to integrate end-to-end tests into pre-deployment pipelines without sacrificing speed. What you'll need to thrive : Experience: 5+ Signific
