Job Description
About The Role
As an Automation Tester, you will make an impact by designing and implementing robust automation strategies that ensure high-quality software delivery. You will be a valued member of our Quality Engineering team, collaborating closely with developers, DevOps, and product stakeholders to drive test automation excellence across web and API platforms.
In This Role, You Will
- Define and execute end-to-end automation strategies for functional, regression, smoke, and E2E testing.
- Design and develop modular Playwright frameworks in TypeScript/JavaScript, enabling reusable components and cross-browser coverage.
- Integrate automation suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) to support continuous delivery.
- Manage AWS-based test infrastructure, leveraging Docker for consistent execution and monitoring via CloudWatch.
- Lead test execution, monitor reliability, and implement strategies for flaky test detection and remediation.
- Collaborate with developers to embed shift-left practices, including API contract validation and security/performance checks.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide quality insights to leadership for go/no-go decisions.
What You Need To Have To Be Considered
- Strong expertise in Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript) for UI and API automation.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and pipeline optimization.
- Proficiency in AWS services (EC2/EKS/ECS, S3, CloudWatch) and Docker-based execution.
- Solid understanding of REST API testing, JSON schema validation, and test data strategies.
- Strong debugging, analytical thinking, and ability to lead end-to-end automation initiatives.
These will help you stand out
- Exposure to performance testing tools (k6/JMeter) and security basics (OWASP Top 10).
- Experience with contract testing (Pact) and visual regression tools.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) and monorepo strategies.
- Ability to mentor teams and drive best practices in automation and quality engineering.
