We are looking for aSenior QA Automation Engineerto take ownership of quality across an end-to-end drawing generation and visualization pipeline. The role covers frontend applications, backend services, asynchronous workflows, databases, automated processing, and generated 2D/3D outputs.

You will work closely with engineering, frontend, algorithm, and domain teams to build robust automated testing frameworks, identify defects across complex systems, and ensure every release meets defined standards for correctness, reliability, performance, and user experience.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automated test suites that process large batches of input files and validate generated outputs against expected results.


• Develop integration and API tests for backend services, including file uploads, job orchestration, drawing retrieval, and webhook workflows.


• Build end-to-end browser automation usingPlaywright, Cypress, or similar frameworks.


• Automate critical user journeys such as file uploads, job tracking, drawing review, viewer interactions, and account management.


• Validate database integrity usingPostgreSQL/RDS, including job metadata, pipeline state transitions, and drawing parameters.


• Test asynchronous, event-driven, and multi-stage workflows to ensure data consistency and reliable state management.


• Stress-test concurrent processing environments and identify RPC failures, process hangs, memory leaks, and reliability issues.


• Validate 2D drawing outputs and 3D viewer rendering using automated checks, golden-file comparisons, snapshots, and structured acceptance criteria.


• Build comprehensive regression suites covering backend functionality, frontend behaviour, and generated drawing outputs.


• Develop reliability metrics and dashboards covering processing success rates, execution times, and failure categories.


• Collaborate with algorithm and frontend teams to define and automate acceptance criteria for new features.


• Develop Python or Go-based test harnesses, batch-processing scripts, and data validation utilities.


• Integrate automated testing intoCI/CD pipelinesand ensure tests remain reliable and maintainable.


• Investigate defects across the frontend, backend, database, processing pipeline, and output layers to identify root causes.
