Senior Software Engineer, UI Framework

Are you an experienced software engineer who thrives on building the tools that empower developers to deliver quality with confidence? Do you enjoy crafting elegant frameworks, CI pipelines, and automation systems that ensure reliability at scale? Do you find satisfaction in using AI to drive smarter, faster, more resilient testing practices? If so, we invite you to join Ridgeline’s UI Framework team and help shape the future of our testing infrastructure, enabling quality through engineering innovation and AI-powered automation.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Testing Focus), you’ll design and build the frameworks, utilities, and pipelines that ensure every product experience at Ridgeline meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. You’ll partner closely with other engineers to integrate UI test automation deeply into the development process, reducing friction, increasing confidence, and accelerating delivery.

This is a deeply hands‑on engineering role focused on execution, automation, and enablement. You’ll partner with key stakeholders to build systems that make quality measurable, repeatable, and automatic.

At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions— not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high‑performing culture. If the Ridgeline Way excites you, we’d love to meet you.

You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.

The impact you will have

Design, implement, and maintain scalable automation frameworks that power testing across Ridgeline’s UI ecosystem.

Build internal tools, libraries, and CI / CD integrations that improve reliability, consistency, and developer productivity.

Leverage AI‑assisted engineering tools to identify test gaps, generate intelligent test coverage, and accelerate debugging workflows.

Develop agentic workflows — AI‑driven processes that can autonomously detect, diagnose, and even propose fixes for quality issues — amplifying team velocity and confidence.

Partner with product engineers to automate repetitive workflows, identify points of fragility, and improve test efficiency without slowing delivery.

Contribute to a collaborative, learning‑driven culture focused on technical excellence and continuous improvement.
