We are looking for an experienced Software Test Automation Engineer to strengthen product quality through robust automated testing across UI, API, integration, and end-to-end workflows. The role involves working closely with Software Engineers and cross-functional teams to understand complex systems, identify potential quality risks, and build scalable testing solutions.

The ideal candidate will have strong programming skills in Python or another object-oriented language, hands-on experience with test automation frameworks, and a passion for improving software quality through engineering best practices.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with Software Engineers to understand application architecture, workflows, dependencies, and technical requirements.
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and test suites for UI, API, integration, and end-to-end testing
  • Develop automation solutions using Python or other object-oriented programming languages
  • Participate in technical and design discussions to improve the platform's testability and support comprehensive testing scenarios.

  • Contribute to end-to-end acceptance testing and release validation.
  • Investigate, triage, and diagnose defects discovered across development and testing environments.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to identify root causes and support timely resolution of issues.
  • Develop and execute manual test cases where automation is not practical or sufficient.
  • Identify opportunities to convert manual test scenarios into automated regression coverage.
  • Build and continuously improve scalable and maintainable test automation frameworks
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Spinnaker, or similar tools.
  • Support continuous quality improvements by introducing testing best practices, processes, and standards.
  • Maintain test documentation, automation scripts, test data, and relevant quality metrics.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure consistent product quality throughout the development lifecycle.

  • Strong understanding of software engineering practices and Agile methodologies
  • Experience integrating automated testing with CI/CD pipelines, particularly Jenkins, Spinnaker, or comparable tools.
  • Familiarity with Gherkin, BDD, and TDD practices.
  • Strong understanding of software quality principles, test strategy, defect lifecycle, and regression testing.
  • Excellent debugging, troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Passion for establishing testing best practices and continuously improving product quality.
  • Ability to identify quality risks early and collaborate effectively with developers and other stakeholders.
  • Comfortable taking ownership of challenging testing problems while working effectively as part of a team.
