Job Description

As a Test Automation Engineer, you will design and implement automation solutions that validate system behavior across UI, APIs, and integrations. You will contribute to building a robust quality engineering ecosystem by integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and supporting continuous delivery.

In this role, you will translate requirements into effective test strategies, combining automation with manual, exploratory, and integration testing to ensure comprehensive quality coverage across all application layers.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys hands-on coding, solving complex validation challenges, and improving system quality at scale, while taking ownership of end-to-end quality outcomes and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Automation Development & Framework Ownership

• Design, develop, and own scalable test automation frameworks and reusable components
• Build automated test suites across:
• UI (Web/Mobile)
• API and integration layers
• Ensure automation solutions are maintainable, reliable, and extensible across teams

Test Strategy & Implementation

• Translate requirements into automation-ready test scenarios, test data, and validation strategies
• Contribute to test strategy, coverage planning, and quality goals
• Identify test gaps and proactively mitigate risks
• Perform automation feasibility analysis to determine optimal test approach (manual vs automated)

Delivery & Execution Excellence

• Execute a balanced mix of automated and manual tests aligned with sprint goals, ensuring comprehensive validation across functional, integration, and edge-case scenarios.
• Contribute to task breakdown, estimation, and sprint commitments
• Proactively raise risks, blockers, and testability concerns
• Identify, log, prioritize, and track defects through resolution lifecycle
• Perform root cause analysis and collaborate with development teams for fixes

Manual & Functional Testing

• Design, document, and execute detailed test cases and test scenarios
• Perform functional, exploratory, and regression testing across features
• Validate end-to-end workflows and business scenarios
• Identify edge cases and usability issues through exploratory testing
• Ensure test coverage for areas not suitable for automation

Quality, Standards & Engineering Practices

• Write clean, testable, and maintainable automation code
• Participate in code reviews and continuous improvement of automation frameworks
• Ensure adherence to Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD)
• Take ownership of end-to-end quality outcomes across assigned areas
• Follow established DevOps, security, and quality engineering practices

CI/CD & DevOps Integration

• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps preferred)
• Enable continuous testing and shift-left quality practices
• Monitor and improve pipeline stability, execution time, and reliability
• Validate and troubleshoot system integrations, data flows, and error handling based on defined architectural designs and interfaces

Non-Functional Testing

• Contribute to performance, reliability, and resilience testing
• Validate system behavior under load, stress, and failure scenarios

Observability & Debuggability

• Leverage logs, metrics, and traces to improve test reliability
• Support root cause analysis of failures and improve system observability

Test Data & Environment Management

• Design and manage test data strategies and datasets
• Ensure availability of stable, production-like test environments

Incident & Operational Support

• Assist in troubleshooting defects across environments
• Support maintenance and continuous improvement of automation suites
• Analyze and reduce flaky tests and unstable scenarios

Collaboration & Growth

• Collaborate with developers, QA, Product Owners, and Tech Leads
• Actively learn and adopt new tools, frameworks, and best practices
• Contribute to team knowledge sharing and a strong quality culture

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, IT, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in software testing with strong automation focus
• Experience in designing and implementing test automation frameworks
• Strong understanding of testing principles, SDLC, STLC, and Agile practices

Technical Skills

• Programming experience in one or more: C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, Swift
• Experience with automation tools such as Selenium, Katalon, Playwright, Cypress
• Experience with:
• API testing (REST, Postman, etc.)
• Version control (Git)
• CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps)
• Familiarity with:
• Test data management
• Test reporting and logging tools
• Debugging and root cause analysis
• Release Management

Assets

• Experience with:
• Performance testing tools (JMeter, k6)
• Security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA)
• Exposure to:
• Cloud platforms (Azure preferred)
• DevSecOps practices
• Experience using AI-assisted tools responsibly (e.g., GitHub Copilot)

Key Expectations

• Drive an automation-first approach (target 60–80% regression automation), while ensuring critical flows and edge cases are validated through manual testing where automation is not feasible or cost-effective.
• Own and evolve automation frameworks and quality engineering practices
• Ensure high reliability, scalability, and stability of automation pipelines
• Take accountability for quality outcomes, not just test execution
• Ensure alignment with organizational quality, security, and compliance standards
