You will collaborate with software engineers, product, DevOps, and architecture to deliver reliable automated testing for UI, API, and backend services, ensuring applications meet functional, performance, security, and reliability

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
5+ years of hands-on experience in software development, test automation, SDET, or quality engineering.
Strong hands-on experience with test automation technologies such as Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, TestNG, or comparable frameworks.
Experience designing and developing automation frameworks from the ground up, including reusable libraries, reporting, test-data management, and configuration management.
Strong experience with REST API testing, including request/response validation, authentication, authorization, error handling, and integration testing.
Experience performing SQL and database validation and troubleshooting data across application, API, and database layers.
Experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD pipelines and source-control platforms.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks, libraries, utilities, and reusable testing components.
Define and implement automation strategies across UI, API, integration, database, and end-to-end testing.
Build automated testing for web applications, REST APIs, backend services, databases, and system integrations.
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide rapid feedback and identify defects earlier in the software development lifecycle.
Partner with Software Engineers to improve application testability, observability, reliability, and automation coverage.
Review application architecture and technical requirements to identify appropriate test approaches, integration points, dependencies, and potential quality risks.
Develop test utilities for test-data creation, environment validation, API testing, database validation, service virtualization, and automated regression testing.
Perform technical analysis and troubleshooting of complex defects across UI, API, application, integration, and database layers.
Analyze automated test failures, application logs, API responses, database results, and system behavior to identify root causes.
Improve automation reliability by identifying and eliminating flaky tests, unstable dependencies, inefficient test execution, and framework limitations.
Establish technical standards for automation architecture, coding practices, test design, code reviews, and framework maintainability.
Measure and improve automation coverage, regression execution time, defect detection, test reliability, and overall quality engineering effectiveness.
Evaluate and implement new testing tools and technologies that improve engineering productivity and software quality.
Contribute to performance, security, accessibility, and reliability testing as appropriate for application architecture.
Participate in Agile development activities including technical design reviews, backlog refinement, sprint planning, code reviews, defect triage, and release-readiness validation.
