As a Senior Test Automation Engineer, you will collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and designers to ensure requirements are met with the expected level of quality, while contributing to the development and implementation of test automation as well as defining test strategy and scope. You will plan and execute testing processes within given constraints without compromising quality, performing both automated and, when needed, manual testing to ensure the product is reliable and fit for purpose, and you will also support cross-project test automation coordination and review activities to help standardize and continuously improve automation practices.

If you are curious by nature, adaptive, collaborative, and always one step ahead — and if you enjoy owning planning, budget, and delivery end-to-end — then join us and be a Commencer.

• Creating, designing, and executing efficient test cases to provide good coverage mostly for UI (mobile / web) / API automation testing, as well as manual testing.
• Performing diverse types of tests in projects when needed: manual black box, user interface, regression, functional or integration testing.
• Performing required activities to apply test process for both automation and manual tests (test planning, design, execution, monitoring, and reporting)
• Reporting test progress and status, doing defect tracking and risk assessment
• Taking a supportive role on continuous integration, continuous testing, and release management.
• Supporting test automation framework development when needed.
• Learning new technologies and apply to projects as needed
• Reviewing and providing feedbacks for test scripts and failed scenarios.
• Designing and executing performance tests (load, stress, etc.) and report performance test results.

Requirements

• 5+ years of Software industry experience, including QA methodologies and software testing
• At least 4 years of experience in using any test automation tools like Appium and Rest Assured,
• BSc or MSc in Software/Computer Engineering or related fields.
• Excellent understanding of existing test automation frameworks
• Excellent understanding of version control systems and team collaboration tools like Git &Gerrit
• Guide the team on using LLMs to write DRY, modular code.
• Proficiency in using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor) to generate boilerplate code, Page Object Models (POM), and complex SQL/Regex scripts.
• Ability to use LLMs to quickly transform requirements or User Stories into structured Gherkin (Cucumber) scenarios and test scripts
• Using AI to identify redundant code in the automation suite and suggest modern, more efficient alternatives.
• Understanding the core mechanics of Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Strong understanding of continuous integration tools (such as Jenkins)
• Experience in writing test automation strategy and test plans
• Experience with various load testing tools like JMeter and Locust
