At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.

Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

We are seeking a QA Automation Engineer to join the Okta Digital Engineering team.

You will:

• Participate in cross-team initiatives from end to end, including test plan reviews, defect triage, automation strategy discussions, and release validation.
• Design, develop, and implement automated test suites for web applications, focusing on front-end functionality, ensuring accessibility, performance, and responsiveness, and contributing to the overall quality of our marketing organization's digital presence.
• Optimize automated test performance, considering factors such as test execution speed, efficient test data management, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to documentation related to test plans, test cases, automation frameworks, and defect reporting, including front-end component testing guidelines and best practices.
• Maintain a high awareness of industry issues and trends, particularly in regard to automated testing methodologies, accessibility (WCAG) testing tools, front-end testing frameworks, and emerging web technologies, and keep team members informed as appropriate, with a view to incorporate these in future testing strategies, staying ahead of the market, and positioning yourself and the company as a digital quality assurance specialist.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Enjoy working on a small, collaborative, and cross-functional team, contributing to both test planning and execution.
• Have 3+ years of professional experience in designing and implementing automated test frameworks and scripts.
• Have experience testing applications built on AEM, including understanding its component structure and content delivery mechanisms.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into the deployment process.
• Have strong Git experience and are comfortable with version control workflows for managing test code.
• Experience in testing API integrations and server-side logic (e.g., Node.js, REST APIs).
