Job summary

EPAM Systems, Inc. is seeking a hands-on Senior AI Test Automation Engineer to design, build, and maintain automated testing solutions across UI, API, and integration layers.

The role merges traditional QA with AI engineering, embedding tests into CI/CD and employing AI agents to accelerate test generation and triage. You will own end-to-end test suites, expand regression coverage, investigate failures, and apply data validation and performance testing.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with test automation, particularly UI automation using Playwright and/or Selenium.
• Experience with REST API testing and end-to-end/integration testing of web and service-based systems.
• Proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or Python.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitLab.
• Experience with TestRail or similar test management tools and Jira.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.
• Hands-on experience applying AI tools and agentic approaches in real engineering delivery.
• Skills in MCP (Model Context Protocol), building and/or integrating MCP servers and tools.
• Background in designing multi-step, semi-autonomous agentic workflows for AI-assisted test generation, maintenance, and defect triage.
• Daily hands-on experience with AI coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, and/or GitHub Copilot.
• Competency in LangGraph/LangChain, evaluating and improving AI-assisted workflows.
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher.

Responsibilities

• Build and own automated tests across UI (Playwright, Selenium), API, and service-integration layers
• Design end-to-end and integration test suites, keeping them fast, stable, and maintainable
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD using GitLab, with automated regression, quality gates, and actionable reporting
• Expand automated regression coverage and reduce manual testing across high-volume/high-risk areas
• Investigate test failures and defects through triage, reproduction, root-cause analysis, and fix verification
• Apply data validation, reconciliation, and performance testing where appropriate
• Build and apply AI-assisted and agentic testing workflows for test generation, maintenance, analysis, and defect triage
• Develop reliable AI testing harnesses, evaluation workflows, and guardrails to make AI-assisted engineering repeatable and trustworthy
