Job description

At Trackforce, we are transforming physical security operations that are managed around the world. As the leading SaaS platform for physical security workforce management, we provide security companies and organizations with a streamlined solution to manage their guard forces, respond faster, operate more efficiently, and reduce costs — all while staying focused on safety and protection.
We support 4,600+ clients across more than 50 countries and are proud to be a growing team of 300+ professionals. With our headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and Centers of Excellence in Montreal, Quebec and Wroclaw, Poland, we collaborate across regions and time zones in a hybrid work environment that combines flexibility, connection, and meaningful impact.
At Trackforce, we operate in both hybrid and remote models, offering flexibility to balance in‑office collaboration with WFH. This approach allows our teams to stay connected while maintaining autonomy and work‑life balance. We are highly focused on delivering value to our customers, and our recent merger has strengthened our position as the market leader in security workforce management software.

Trackforce is seeking an experienced and driven Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (Sr. SDET) to join our Engineering team. In this senior individual contributor role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing complex test automation frameworks, driving quality across the software development lifecycle, and elevating the engineering team’s overall approach to testing and software reliability.
Working with a high degree of autonomy, you will collaborate cross-functionally with developers, product managers, and QA engineers to build scalable, repeatable automated testing solutions for our SaaS platform. You will be a key contributor to test strategy, test-driven development practices, and continuous integration pipelines — helping ensure that our products meet the highest standards of performance and reliability for thousands of security operations clients worldwide.
This role is ideal for a technically strong engineer who takes pride in quality craftsmanship, is passionate about automation, and is ready to provide mentorship and technical leadership within a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.
