Job description

Title: Automation Engineer Location: Fremont, CA (Hybrid: 2 days onsite in a week) Duration: 18 Months

Candidates who are stronger in application/product automation rather than only infrastructure automation.

Who can support web, API, backend services, iOS/Android, CI/CD-integrated automated testing, and hands‑on scripting.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly technical, code-first Automation Engineer to architect, build, and scale our end‑to‑end automation frameworks across web, mobile, and API layers. This is not a manual testing or high‑level coordination role—you must be an engineer who loves to write code. You will design robust automation architectures, integrate tests seamlessly into our CI/CD pipelines, and push the boundaries of product performance and reliability.

If you view test automation as a software engineering discipline and thrive on writing clean, scalable test suites, we want you on our team.

Core Technical Stack

• Primary Languages: TypeScript, with a strong foundation in modern programming practices.
• Secondary/Exposure Ecosystems: GoLang, Kotlin, Swift, or Java.
• Automation Frameworks: Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, TestNG.
• Infrastructure & Tools: CI/CD Pipelines, JMeter / LoadRunner, Jira / Bugzilla, Git.

Key Responsibilities

• Framework Architecture & Development: Design, develop, and maintain scalable, robust automation frameworks from scratch across Web UI, Mobile, and Backend API layers.
• Full-Stack Automation: Implement end-to-end test strategies spanning UI flows (Cypress/Selenium) and robust backend/API layer integrations (JUnit/TestNG).
• CI/CD Integration: Embed automation suites directly into continuous integration and deployment pipelines, ensuring fast, stable feedback loops for development teams.
• Performance & Load Testing: Author and execute targeted performance, stress, and scalability tests using tools like JMeter or LoadRunner to uncover architectural bottlenecks.
• Test Strategy & Planning: Collaborate with product and development teams to define test objectives, map out comprehensive test plans, and track defects efficiently in Jira or Bugzilla.
• Security & Data Integrity: Apply baseline security testing awareness to identify common vulnerabilities during the automation lifecycle.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements)

• Deep Coding Depth: Exceptional, production‑ready coding skills in TypeScript are mandatory. You must be comfortable with data structures, OOP principles, and clean code practices.
• Polyglot Mindset: Hands‑on exposure or a strong willingness to work within modern languages like GoLang, Kotlin, or Swift to better test our native and backend services.
• End‑to‑End Automation Mastery: Proven track record automating both web platforms (Cypress/Selenium) and backend/API infrastructure.
• DevOps Mindset: Practical experience configuring test execution within automated CI/CD environments.
• Analytical Execution: Strong capability to own test plans, analyze system metrics under load, and champion data‑driven quality metrics.

Who This Role Is NOT For

To save your time and ours, please note that we are explicitly filtering against:

• Profiles that are primarily focused on Manual QA or visual/exploratory testing.
• Non‑hands‑on Managers, coordinators, or leads who no longer actively write code.
• Candidates who rely strictly on record‑and‑playback tools without deep, raw programmatic coding experience.
