Job description

We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to strengthen our quality assurance process. Although the platform has existing automation in place, recurring bugs and unstable releases reveal structural gaps in quality coverage.

This role requires a highly skilled engineer capable of auditing the current automation, rebuilding unstable areas, improving test strategy, and ensuring reliable, defect-free releases.

You will collaborate closely with Development, DevOps, and Product teams to implement best practices, optimize testing workflows, and elevate overall product quality.

Key Responsibilities

1. Automation Quality & Test Architecture

• Audit existing automation to identify false positives, flakiness, outdated libraries, missing regression coverage, and low-value tests.
• Refactor or rebuild automation for stability, maintainability, and scalability.
• Define the automation scope for the upcoming delivery cycle (new features, high-risk areas, historical bugs).
• Implement best-practice patterns: Page Object Model, reusable fixtures, API abstraction, stable waits.

2. Functional & Regression Testing

• Perform manual testing for new features with unclear or incomplete acceptance criteria.
• Build/improve a complete regression suite integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Validate bug fixes and ensure test coverage prevents reoccurrence.
• Report defect patterns and risk areas to leadership.

3. Testing Process & Standards

• Create/update test strategy, test cases (manual + automated), test data plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Document all test results clearly, ensuring traceability and reproducibility.
• Enhance collaboration between QA, Dev, and Product to reduce defect leakage.

4. Environment & CI/CD

• Work with DevOps to stabilize QA/UAT environments.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with reliable pass/fail signals.
• Reduce test flakiness and ensure poor-quality builds are blocked.

5. Release Quality Ownership

• Validate release candidates end-to-end.
• Execute smoke, sanity, exploratory, and performance testing when needed.
• Provide clear go/no-go indicators based on quality KPIs.

Technical Skills

• Strong experience with automation frameworks: Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, WebdriverIO (depending on the stack).
• API automation using Postman, REST Assured, or Playwright API.
• Deep knowledge of waits, DOM handling, test data mocking/stubbing, and browser drivers.
• Solid SQL knowledge for data validation.
• Experience testing distributed systems, microservices, caching layers, and cloud environments.
• Hands-on experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
• Strong Git branching, PR review, and version-control best practices.

Quality Engineering Expertise

• Ability to reverse-engineer unclear or undocumented features.
• Strong root-cause analysis skills — understanding not only what fails, but why.
• Ability to validate and correct inaccurate automation coverage claims.
• Solid regression testing strategy.
• Experience with performance/load testing tools (JMeter, k6) is a plus.

Soft Skills

• Excellent communication with the ability to challenge assumptions diplomatically.
• High sense of ownership — proactive, autonomous, and structured.
• Transparent risk communication with PM/CTO and cross-functional teams.

Language Requirement

• English: C1 required
