Job Description
Roles & 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. *
Develop automated tests using technologies such as Selenium, Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, JUnit, and TestNG. *
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. Required 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 programming skills in one or more languages such as Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript. *
Strong hands-on experience with test automation technologies such as Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, TestNG, or comparable frameworks. *
< /span>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. *
Understanding of modern software architectures, including web applications, RESTful services, microservices, databases, cloud services, and distributed integrations. *
Strong understanding of software engineering principles, including object-oriented programming, design patterns, source control, code reviews, and coding standards. *
Experience working within Agile/Scrum software development environments. *
Strong analytical, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues. *
Ability to collaborate effectively with Software Engineers, DevOps, Architecture, Product, and other technical teams. Preferred Qualifications *
Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or comparable CI/CD platforms. *
Experience testing applications built with .NET, React.js, Java, or similar modern technology stacks. *
Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms, including testing cloud-hosted applications and services. *
Experience with Azure Blob Storage, SQL Server, Salesforce, and enterprise system integrations. *
Experience with performance and load-testing technologies such as JMeter, LoadRunner, or similar tools. *
Familiarity with containerized and distributed environments using technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. *
Experience incorporating automated quality gates into deployment pipelines. *
Knowledge of application security testing and secure software development practices. *
Experience using Generative AI and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate test generation, automation development, debugging, and test maintenance. *
Knowledge of testing approaches for AI/ML applications and models. *
ISTQB or other relevant technical testing certifications are a plus.
