About the role
Continuous Testing Automation Engineer at Vanguard
hackajob is collaborating with Vanguard to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role.
As our Workplace platforms continue to modernize and scale, we are looking for a Continuous Automated Testing Engineer to build and mature centralized testing capabilities across our endpoint and collaboration ecosystem. This role focuses on designing and implementing automated validation for Windows endpoints, macOS endpoints, VDI, and Microsoft 365 applications to improve release quality, reduce failed changes, and strengthen platform reliability. The ideal candidate brings strong test automation experience, a platform engineering mindset, and the ability to create repeatable validation frameworks using tools such as UiPath, PowerShell, and other automation technologies aligned to enterprise engineering practices.
In This Role, You Will
- Design, build, and maintain automated testing frameworks for Windows endpoints, macOS endpoints, VDI environments, and Microsoft 365 applications.
- Establish continuous testing practices that validate patches, feature updates, policy changes, security configuration updates, device provisioning changes, and application releases before broad deployment.
- Create reusable test suites for endpoint engineering scenarios including provisioning, compliance, remediation, configuration drift, application delivery, sign-in/access validation, and core user workflows.
- Use automation tools such as UiPath, PowerShell, and platform-specific scripting to orchestrate end-to-end validation across workplace technologies.
- Partner with Windows, Mac, Mobility, VDI, and Digital Workplace engineers to embed automated testing into release and change processes.
- Support pilot rings, phased deployments, rollback readiness, and release governance by providing reliable pre-release and post-change validation.
- Define test strategies, quality gates, test data approaches, and reporting standards that improve release consistency and operational confidence.
- Integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows and engineering pipelines using Git-based practices and shared automation services where applicable.
- Improve platform reliability and user experience by identifying regression risks early and reducing manual validation effort across teams.
- Document test frameworks, validation standards, runbooks, and recommendations to enable broader adoption of automation-first quality practices.
Technical Requirements
- Strong experience building automated testing solutions for endpoint platforms, desktop applications, or enterprise user computing environments.
- Hands-on experience with test automation tools such as UiPath and scripting languages such as PowerShell; familiarity with additional automation tooling is a plus.
- Working knowledge of Windows endpoint engineering, macOS management, VDI platforms, and Microsoft 365 application behaviors in enterprise environments.
- Experience validating operating system changes, application deployments, policy/configuration updates, and user workflow scenarios across multiple device platforms.
- Understanding of test automation frameworks, regression testing, release validation, quality gates, and change governance practices.
- Familiarity with CI/CD concepts, source control, and Git-based workflows for promoting and maintaining automation assets.
- Experience with endpoint management and delivery technologies such as Microsoft Intune, SCCM, Jamf, Autopilot, VMware Horizon, Citrix, or similar enterprise platforms is strongly preferred.
- Knowledge of identity, access, and compliance validation patterns in workplace environments, including Microsoft Entra ID and related controls, is a plus.
- Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to isolate issues across infrastructure, platform configuration, automation logic, and end-user workflows.
What It Takes
- Undergraduate degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.
- 3-5+ years of relevant experience in test automation, quality engineering, endpoint engineering, workplace platforms, or a related automation-focused role.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging capabilities across complex enterprise environments.
- Ability to translate platform risk areas into practical, scalable automated test coverage.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document standards, results, and recommendations clearly.
- Ability to work across engineering, operations, release governance, and project teams to improve delivery quality.
- Strong planning, organization, and execution discipline with an automation-first mindset.
