Senior Automation Quality Engineer (Python)

Avenga is an international engineering firm helping businesses operate with AI at the core. With 6,000+ experts worldwide, we combine engineering expertise with AI-native thinking to turn ambitious ideas into real-world impact across industries, technologies, and markets.

Core skills you’ll bring

• 6+ years of hands-on test automation experience, with strong working knowledge of Python

• Experience with Playwright for UI automation

• Experience with PyTest or a similar framework for API test automation

• Familiarity with BDD/Gherkin (Behave or similar) - able to read, critique, and extend feature files

• Working SQL skills and comfort validating data directly against a database

• Solid Git/GitHub experience, including pull-request-based review workflows

AI & Agentic skills:

• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar) in a real development or test-automation workflow - not just occasional chat-interface use

• Practical understanding of agentic AI systems: multiple AI agents with defined roles collaborating on a task (e.g., one agent drafting, another reviewing), and how orchestration/handoffs between them work

• Working knowledge of prompt engineering - able to write and refine prompts/instructions that reliably shape an AI agent's output, not just ask ad hoc questions

• Understanding of core LLM concepts relevant to daily work: context windows, hallucination, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and why these create the need for human review

• Exposure to agent frameworks or tooling is a strong plus - e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, Model Context Protocol (MCP), or Copilot/Claude agent extensions

The impact you'll create

• Review AI-generated test scenarios for coverage, correctness, and missing edge cases before implementation begins

• Review AI-generated automation code for quality and correctness before it is merged, acting as the final human checkpoint

• Write and refine the instructions, prompts, and context files that shape how AI agents behave for a given application or task

• Build and maintain Python-based automation frameworks - page objects/clients, step definitions, fixtures, and test data

• Design and maintain UI, API, and database test coverage using Playwright, PyTest, and SQL-based validation

• Triage self-healing suggestions on flaky or broken tests - approve, reject, or fix them directly

• Help onboard new applications into the automation framework, mapping existing tests and domain conventions

• Track coverage, regression health, and quality metrics, and report on them to the delivery team
