This is an automation-first role focused on building and maintaining reliable Python-based automation for a complex product. The role is critical to validating web applications, backend services, APIs, integrations, and end-to-end business workflows. You will work closely with developers, Product, and QA peers to design and improve automated testing strategies, with particular attention to backend functionality, API validation, integration behaviour, and quality risk. You will investigate issues and keep automated coverage useful as the product evolves. Manual testing is used when it is the rightway to investigate an issue or validate a gap, but it is not the primary focus of the role.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild, extend, maintain, and improve Python-based automated test coverage for ticketed work.\nDesign practical coverage across APIs, services, integrations, and user workflows.\nMaintain automation suites by improving reliability, diagnostics, test data, readability, and failure analysis.\nInvestigate incoming bugs by gathering context, reproducing issues, assessing impact, communicating findings, and helping prevent recurrence.\nWork with developers and Product to identify quality risks, clarify expected behavior, and improve testability early in delivery.\nUse manual testing deliberately for exploration, investigation, and validation when automation is not yet the right choice.\nUse AI responsibly for learning unfamiliar areas, research, debugging, automation development and maintenance, and documentation, while retaining ownership and\nverifying results.\nIdentify repetitive engineering and QA work that automation or AI can improve.\nRequirements\nYou Will Do It Using\n5+ years of proven QA experience, including 2+ years of recent hands-on Python automation experience.\nExperience building, maintaining, or materially improving automated test suites or frameworks.\nWorking knowledge of the SDLC and CI/CD, including delivery pipelines, defects, regression risk, and release validation.\nExperience testing APIs, services, integrations, and complex workflows.\nSound test-design, debugging, and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to investigate failures and incoming bugs using evidence, reproduction, impact assessment, and clear communication.\nAbility to learn unfamiliar technical or business domains and move work forward independently.\nClear written and verbal communication with developers, Product, QA peers, and other delivery partners.\nAbility to use AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly, with appropriate human verification.\nAdvantages\nKnowledge of performance testing and monitoring tools.\nExperience in insurance, banking, financial services, or another complex regulated domain.\nExperience improving flaky, slow, unclear, or difficult-to-maintain automated test suites.\nExperience with CI/CD, including release validation.\nYou Will Excel By\nUsing strong analytical skills and attention to detail to investigate problems and assess quality risk.\nTaking ownership of automation work from understanding the change through dependable coverage.\nApplying quality judgment rather than treating every issue as an immediate automation task.\nMaking automation easier to understand, diagnose, and maintain.\nCommunicating quality risk early and constructively across the team.\nImproving how repetitive engineering and QA work is performed.\nPosition Intro\nEarnix is the first AI company purpose-built for insurance decisioning, providing the industry with the intelligence, governance, and decisioning agility to drive profitable growth, improve resilience, and operate with speed and precision in a rapidly changing risk environment.
