As an SQEII Automation Engineer, you will contribute to building and executing automated
tests that enhance product quality across web and API platforms. You will support the
development of scalable, maintainable automation scripts and collaborate closely with
developers, senior automation engineers, and QA leads. Your work will focus on strengthening
automation coverage, improving execution efficiency, and ensuring fast, reliable feedback
during development cycles. A passion for learning new tools, automation concepts, and quality
engineering practices is key to succeeding in this role.
WHAT YOULL DO
- Develop basic to intermediate automation scripts using Selenium WebDriver (Java) or Robot Framework (Python) under guidance.
- Create modular, reusable, and maintainable test scripts aligned with sprint deliverables.
- Automate Web UI and API test cases using tools like Postman or REST-Assured.
- Execute automated test suites and analyze results to identify failures and defects.
- Integrate test scripts into CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
- Maintain and troubleshoot automated pipelines with support from senior team members.
- Work with QA and development teams to understand requirements, acceptance criteria, and testing needs.
- Assist in basic performance testing using tools like JMeter or Gatling.
- Use JIRA for defect logging, tracking, and communication.
- Work with TestRail to map automation scripts to test cases and maintain traceability.
- Participate in functional, regression, and smoke testing for assigned modules.
- Gain exposure to cloud-based test execution platforms such as BrowserStack or Selenium Grid.
- Learn basics of containerized execution using Docker.
- Refactor test scripts for readability and maintainability.
- Support automation coverage expansion across products and features.
- Stay updated with trends in automation, tools, and best practices.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- 3–5 years of experience in software testing, with at least 3 years of experience in building and scaling test automation frameworks for large, complex systems.
- Hands-on practice with at least one automation framework (Selenium, Robot Framework, etc.).
- Basic understanding of CI/CD concepts and version control (Git).
- Strong foundational programming skills in Java or Python.
- Understanding of REST APIs and experience testing them using Postman/REST-Assured.
- Familiarity with cloud technologies (AWS) or containerization (Docker) is a plus.
- Good understanding of SQL for validation of backend data.
- Exposure to tools like TestRail (or similar) for test case management.
- Experience with JIRA for defect tracking.
- Basic knowledge of performance tools like JMeter is desirable.
- BE/BTech or equivalent degree from a recognized institution.
Preferred/Optional Skills
- Certifications such as ISTQB Foundation or equivalent.
- Exposure to insurance domain (added advantage).
- Interest or basic knowledge in AI/ML-driven testing approaches.
