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.

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.
• Develop and execute functional and non-functional test cases across different product components.
• 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.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5+ years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or test automation.
• Strong hands-on experience developing both functional and non-functional automated tests.
• Solid programming experience in Python or another object-oriented programming language.
• Proven experience building, maintaining, or enhancing test automation frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with UI automation tools such as Selenium, Robot Framework, or Watir.
• Experience with API, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• 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.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain defects, risks, and technical findings.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
