Can someone give insight into SDET role at Amazon? Is it manual/automated testing, working on frameworks and does it hold value across different orgs at Amazon? Do I expect the same level of interviews as for a Senior Engineer? Thanks!

    The only perk is that you are in the same pay band, but you don’t have to be oncall. It is tougher to get promoted, however.

    Sdet on our team was awesome. No manual testing. That’s what qa team does. Sdet wrote most of our automated ui tests, build scripts, performance tests. Very challenging. We lost her to another team :(

    Plus there’s opportunity to transfer to sde later if you want. Sdet in our org did that. Transferred from sdet2 to sde2.

    SDET is the same as SDE in the technical bar; you have to be able to deliver software. The scope is leveled up from a SDE of the same level SDE1 = component, SDE2 = system, SDE3 = system + other teams, SDET1 = system, SDET2 = system + other teams, SDET3 = org. So expect more impact but it can be challenging.
