Senior Software Test Engineer - CDC

At CP Axtra, we believe quality is an engineering responsibility. Not something owned by a separate QA team. We are looking for a Senior Software Test Engineer to help build that culture.

This role is much more than writing automated tests. You'll work alongside Product Owners and software engineers to ensure quality is considered from feature discovery through production. You'll help teams decide what should be tested, where it should be tested, and how it can be automated efficiently.

You'll build tools, frameworks, and engineering practices that enable developers to confidently own quality while continuously improving our software delivery process.

Remote candidates outside of Thailand are welcome to apply.

Responsibilities

Drive Engineering Quality

• Define testing strategies for new features and system capabilities.
• Guide engineering teams to apply testing at the right level (unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance).
• Identify quality risks during design and backlog refinement before implementation begins.
• Establish engineering quality standards and continuously improve testing practices across the team.

Build Automation

• Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks.
• Develop automated tests across API, integration, contract, and UI layers.
• Improve CI/CD quality gates to increase deployment confidence.
• Continuously improve test reliability, execution speed, and developer feedback loops.

Partner with Product Owners

• Collaborate with Product Owners to refine requirements and ensure stories are testable.
• Help define clear acceptance criteria and identify edge cases early.
• Ensure business workflows can be validated efficiently through automation.

Enable Engineers

• Rather than becoming the team's testing bottleneck, you'll help engineers build better software.

Improve Engineering Practices

• Recommend improvements to our development workflow, automation strategy, and release process.
• Drive adoption of modern quality engineering practices.
• Monitor quality metrics and identify opportunities to reduce production defects.
• Continuously improve developer experience around testing and automation.

You will also need to :

• Coach developers on effective testing practices.
• Review designs and pull requests from a quality perspective.
• Help teams decide what should-and shouldn't-be covered by automated tests.
• Build reusable testing libraries, utilities, and developer tooling.
• Promote Shift Left quality practices across the engineering organization.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Software Engineering, or Test Automation.
• Strong software development experience in Java ( preferred) or another modern programming language.
• Experience building and maintaining automation frameworks rather than simply writing automated tests.
• Experience working with distributed systems and microservice architectures.
• Strong understanding of: Unit Testing, Integration Testing, API Testing, Contract Testing, End-to-End Testing, Performance Testing principles
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience working closely with Product Owners and software engineers in Agile teams.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Expertise in: Java / Spring Boot, REST APIs, SQL, Kafka or event-driven systems, Docker / Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar, Playwright, Selenium, REST Assured, Pact, JUnit, or similar tools, Datadog, Grafana, or other observability platforms

Nice to Have

• Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
• Supply Chain or Logistics systems
• Retail technology
• Performance testing
• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Contract testing implementation
• Experience coaching engineering teams

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you'll:

• Establish scalable quality engineering practices across our WMS tool.
• Improve developer ownership of testing and quality.
• Increase automation coverage at the most valuable test layers-not simply increase the number of tests.
• Reduce production defects through better engineering practices.
• Improve confidence in every deployment through automation and effective quality gates.
• Help build a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility
