Descrizione del lavoro

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Automation engineer to continuously modernize, strengthen and accelerate our test automation frameworks. This is a senior individual-contributor role for an engineer who writes excellent production-quality Python code, can diagnose complex technical problems, and turns that expertise into reliable, maintainable and fast automation infrastructure. Our automation stack includes a Python-based backend for Clear Flow in house framework and Playwright with TypeScript for frontend end-to-end testing. The successful candidate will lead framework design and evolution, improve test reliability and execution speed, strengthen CI integration, and mentor other engineers. Experience testing financial technology or trading systems is highly desirable.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead continuous framework modernization: Own the technical direction and ongoing improvement of our automation frameworks, libraries, utilities and test architecture.
• Write high-quality Python: Develop and review robust, readable, efficient Python code for backend automation, framework services, test utilities and integrations.
• Improve performance and scalability: Profile and reduce test execution time; identify bottlenecks in setup, data handling, environment interaction and parallel execution; improve resource use without sacrificing reliability.
• Increase test reliability: Reduce flaky tests, improve diagnostics and failure reporting, strengthen logging and debugging support, and make failures easier to reproduce and resolve.
• Develop end-to-end automation: Maintain and improve Playwright/TypeScript UI automation and ensure effective integration with Python-based backend testing.
• Improve CI/CD integration: Make automated suites easier to run and troubleshoot in CI pipelines; improve test selection, reporting, repeatability and feedback time.
• Design for maintainability: Apply sound object-oriented design, modular architecture, reusable abstractions, clear interfaces and appropriate design patterns—avoiding unnecessary complexity.
• Work across teams: Partner with software engineers, quality engineers and infrastructure teams to investigate failures, improve testability and prevent defects earlier.
• Provide technical leadership: Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, partnership and practical guidance; establish coding standards and framework-development practices.
• Measure impact: Use meaningful metrics such as execution duration, flakiness, failure diagnosis time, framework adoption and regression coverage to prioritize improvements.
• Support quality strategy: help with product testing when needed as well help determine where automation provides the greatest value, while retaining sound test design and appropriate exploration or manual testing where needed.

Essential Skills

• Strong, hands-on Python programming skills. You should be comfortable designing, implementing, debugging, profiling and refactoring non-trivial code—not just writing test scripts.
• Typically, 8+ years of relevant software engineering, test automation or framework-development experience, including substantial ownership of automation frameworks.
• Demonstrated experience designing and evolving reusable automation frameworks, test libraries or developer tooling used by multiple engineers or teams.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, modularity, error handling, testing, debugging and clean-code practices.
• Experience building and maintaining integration-level, API or backend automated tests.
• Practical experience with Playwright and TypeScript for front end-end end-to-end automation, or the ability to demonstrate equivalent depth and quickly contribute to this stack.
• Experience with Git, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines and collaborative Agile software development.
• Ability to investigate complex failures across application code, test code, test data, environments and infrastructure.
• Strong communication and mentoring skills, with the ability to explain design trade-offs and raise engineering quality across a team.

Desired Skills

• Experience testing financial technology, electronic trading, capital markets, market data, order management or other complex, high-throughput systems.
• Experience with development and maintenance of Python-based automation frameworks.
• Experience improving large regression suites through parallelization, smarter test selection, test-data management, code coverage, performance profiling and flakiness reduction.
• Experience with distributed systems, asynchronous programming, service integrations, messaging or event-driven architectures.
• Experience with Linux-based test environments, containers and troubleshooting environment-dependent failures.
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools effectively, with appropriate review and validation of generated code.
