Build automation that fuels data accuracy, product excellence and global insights.

As a senior QA automation engineer at Gallup, you'll be hands-on with building and scaling automation frameworks while guiding fellow engineers, shaping test architecture and ensuring data quality across systems. With deep technical expertise in test automation and quality engineering, you'll inspire cross-functional collaboration, influence testing strategies and deliver innovative, customer-focused solutions that directly improve product quality, reliability and the overall customer experience.

If you're passionate about automation, scalability and data integrity, this is your opportunity to shape how Gallup delivers dependable analytics and advice worldwide — apply today

What You'll Do

• Lead the design, creation and maintenance of scalable, reliable automation frameworks for front-end (e.g., Selenium / Selenide) and back-end systems (e.g., REST APIs, data pipelines, data warehouse validation across platforms like AWS and Snowflake)
• Drive automation strategy and implementation across product teams, ensuring coverage for functional, regression and nonfunctional testing
• Guide the integration of test automation into CI / CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to accelerate delivery and improve release confidence
• Mentor QA engineers on automation best practices, design patterns and data quality validation approaches
• Collaborate with developers, product owners and DevOps engineers to ensure quality is embedded in product design and development
• Investigate and recommend tools, technologies and practices that enhance automation effectiveness and scalability
• Ensure deliverables meet high standards of performance, security and data integrity while aligning with business objectives

What Makes You Stand Out

• Data validation expertise : You bring deep experience validating data quality in data warehouse and data pipeline environments through ETL testing, schema validation and consistency checks.
• Automation architecture leadership : You have a strong background in test automation architecture and have scaled frameworks across multiple products and tech stacks.
• Strategic, hands-on approach : You balance writing code with evolving the strategic direction of QA automation initiatives.
• AI / ML quality experience : You understand how to validate and test AI / ML-driven systems to ensure model accuracy, fairness and reliability.
• Customer-focused collaboration : You have excelled in cross-functional, product-oriented teams where quality engineering and automation drive customer value.
• Security-conscious testing : You're familiar with roles, permissions, authentication and identity management testing.
• Tool fluency : You know how to select and apply the right technology for the job instead of defaulting to a single stack.

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience, required
• At least five years of hands-on experience in QA automation, including building frameworks in Java or Python required
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, test strategies and automation best practices for web, mobile and data systems required
• Demonstrated experience designing and executing both functional and nonfunctional automated test suites required
• Familiarity with CI / CD pipelines, containerized environments and cloud platforms (preferably AWS) required
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, international and cross-functional environment required
• Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken) required
