Test Automation Engineer

Strategy & Governance Contribute to the testing strategy (shift-left, risk-based testing, BDD/TDD, contract testing) across squads and products. Support the adoption of common standards and templates (test strategy, plan, RTM, exit criteria) aligned to recognized practices (e.g., ISTQB foundations, ISO/IEC 29119 test documentation, OWASP Testing Guide). Participate in quality governance activities (readiness/exit gates, defect SLAs, change failure rate tracking) and support QA metrics reporting. Contribute to the evolution of test frameworks, environments, test data management, and observability practices. Test Engineering & Automation Own end-to-end automation strategy implementation across UI, API, contract, component, and smoke/regression suites integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Ensure maintainable frameworks, coding standards, and code reviews; champion modular page/object models, data builders, and parallelization. Define and achieve comprehensive test coverage across functional, non-functional, and automation layers to ensure quality and risk mitigation. Plan and execute performance, scalability, resilience, and security testing; collaborate with engineering teams on tuning and hardening. Define SLO-aligned test goals (latency, throughput, error rate) and incorporate quality checks into CI/CD pipelines. Stakeholder Management & Communication Partner with Product, Architecture, Cybersecurity, and Compliance teams to balance risk, speed, and regulatory requirements. Provide testing updates, quality metrics, and release readiness information to stakeholders. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including automation, functional, performance, and security testing teams across multiple applications. Support shared testing services including regression, performance & security testing, test data management, and environment orchestration. Work closely with Agile teams to improve story quality (acceptance criteria, testability, Definition of Ready/Done) and support sprint testing activities. Continuous Improvement Participate in retrospectives and incident reviews (escaped defects, production issues) to improve quality practices and defect prevention. Stay current with testing tools, technologies, and industry best practices while contributing to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives. Requirements 4-5 years of experience in QA/testing with strong hands-on experience in test automation and quality engineering. Strong proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Strong SQL skills with hands-on experience in MySQL and PostgreSQL for test data preparation, backend verification, and database-level testing. Hands-on expertise with Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright, and API testing (Postman/REST Assured), plus CI/CD integration. Strong grasp of Agile/Scrum, DevOps, and shift-left practices (BDD/TDD, contract testing). Solid knowledge of performance and security testing concepts and tools (JMeter/k6, OWASP ZAP). Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and continuous integration tools (e.g., Jenkins). Experience with cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and container orchestration (Kubernetes) for test environment management. Solid understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and best practices. Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate and coordinate with cross-functional teams.
