IDEXX Payments is seeking a Software Engineer who specializes in quality, automation, and release confidence to help advance how we validate and ship mission‑critical payment systems. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on building scalable automated testing capabilities, strengthening release safety, and enabling teams to deliver changes confidently in a regulated, cloud‑native environment. This is not a manual QA or test‑execution role. It is an engineering position with ownership over test architecture, automation frameworks, and quality enablement. You will work closely with software engineers to embed automated testing and release validation into everyday development workflows. This is not a hand-off or sign-off testing function and not a UI-only or Selenium-heavy automation position. Why this role matters: This department powers the financial workflows that keep veterinary practices running smoothly. When payments are reliable, clinics can focus on patient care and not system issues. This role ensures that every change we ship is safe, stable, and trustworthy before it reaches a live clinic. In this role: Design and evolve automated API and component‑level test frameworks in TypeScript, aligned with modern testing best practices. Build tests that validate running services and real infrastructure behavior, rather than heavily mocked code paths. Establish and maintain integration and contract testing for service‑to‑service and external interfaces. Strengthen automated regression coverage to support reliable, frequent releases. Expand and curate a focused Playwright E2E suite that protects critical user and payment workflows. Enable local and CI‑based test execution using containerized or ephemeral infrastructure where appropriate. Partner with engineers to integrate testing into normal development and deployment workflows. Leverage observability and production telemetry signals to inform test coverage and failure‑detection strategies. What you need to succeed: Strong TypeScript experience (core language for services, tooling, and tests) Deep experience with Jest or equivalent modern test frameworks Proven ability to design and maintain test frameworks and automation infrastructure Experience testing RESTful APIs and event‑driven systems Working knowledge of AWS‑based architectures (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, messaging) Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines What you can expect from us: Base salary range starting of $125,000-$135,000 based on experience Opportunity for annual cash bonus Health / Dental / Vision Benefits Day-One 5% matching 401k Additional benefits including but not limited to financial support, pet insurance, mental health resources, volunteer paid days off, employee stock program, foundation donation matching, and much more Why IDEXX: We're proud of the work we do, because our work matters. An innovation leader in every industry we serve since 1983, our team members help pet owners worldwide keep their companion animals healthy and happy, ensure safe drinking water for billions, and help farmers protect livestock and poultry from disease. We have customers in over 175 countries and a collaborative global workforce. Our culture embraces challenges and encourages learning and discovery. At IDEXX, you'll be supported by competitive compensation, incentives, and benefits while enjoying purposeful work that drives improvement. If meaningful work and a sense of purpose are at the top of your list, you'll find it here. Let's pursue what matters together.
