Position Requirements
In this role, you will drive the team's test automation strategy and framework architecture. You will shape robust CI/CD pipelines, improve their reliability and design, and embed quality into every stage of delivery. Partnering with DevOps and engineering leadership, you’ll influence release strategy while mentoring engineers and elevating overall testing excellence.
- Define test automation strategy and framework architecture across the team to improve end-to-end test reliability and delivery speed, collaborating closely with engineers who implement automated tests in Cypress and pytest
- Drive ownership of test quality and pipeline robustness by reviewing and optimizing automated test suites written in Cypress and/or pytest, ensuring they effectively reduce risk and accelerate feedback cycles in CI/CD pipelines
- Collaborate with engineering and pipeline stakeholders to advise on CI/CD pipeline design and reliability improvements, integrating automated tests built with Cypress and pytest into robust, scalable workflows
- Review code quality for automated tests written in Cypress and/or pytest across the team, enforcing consistent standards, maintainability, and alignment with the defined automation strategy
- Advise on CI/CD pipeline design to enhance reliability, performance, and observability of test execution, ensuring that automated tests are efficiently orchestrated and reported
- Lead root-cause analysis on systemic CI/CD pipeline failures and automated test reliability issues, using insights to drive corrective actions and long-term process improvements
- Drive adoption of shift-left testing practices by promoting earlier integration of Cypress and pytest-based automated tests into development workflows, reducing late-stage defects and rework
Requirements
- Advanced experience with designing automated test suites that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD workflows and support continuous testing at scale
- Practical experience with cross-functional collaboration to define testability requirements, quality gates, and automation priorities within DevOps-oriented teams
- Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance, and setting technical direction for test automation initiatives
- Strong communication skills for explaining test automation and CI/CD concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Collaborative working style with the ability to partner effectively with development, DevOps, and product teams in a distributed environment
- Analytical and solution-oriented mindset with strong problem-solving skills in diagnosing test flakiness, pipeline failures, and quality bottlenecks
- Advanced experience with Playwright-based test automation in complex web application environments (nice-to-have)
- Practical experience with Go-based test automation frameworks and tooling (nice-to-have)
