In this role, you will build and maintain the test automation frameworks that catch defects early, keep staging environments trustworthy, and turn quality into clear, measurable outcomes. You will work across Golang microservices and TypeScript user interfaces in both Azure and AWS environments.\n\nThe candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions: \n\nAutomation Framework and Test Suites: \nFramework Ownership: Build, maintain, and scale the test automation framework while enforcing strict coding, structure, and code review standards.\nSuite Efficacy: Own the content, stability, and reliability of end-to-end, API, and UI automation suites— ensuring tests are maintainable, fast, and high-value.\nOrchestration and Feedback: Design test execution pipelines, orchestration workflows, and automated results reporting so failures are instantly visible, actionable, and routed to the right owners.\n\nStaging Environment Ownership and Hygiene: \nEnvironment Stability: Own the stability, configuration, and uptime of the staging environment used for automated and pre-release validation.\nHygiene and Cleanup: Eliminate stale data, orphaned resources, configuration drift, and flakiness that compromise test accuracy or make results noisy.\n\nQuality Standards and Metrics: \nCoverage Standards: Enforce strict test and code coverage standards across the software delivery lifecycle.\nMetrics Tracking: Implement and track key quality metrics—including defect MTTR, escaped defects, test execution time, and pass/fail trends—to drive continuous engineering improvements.\n\nExpectations: \nTrustworthy Automation: Test suites are fast, reliable, and consistently catch defects before they reach production without producing false positives.\nReliable Staging: The staging environment remains clean, available, and stable as a trusted gate for production releases.\nEnforced Standards: Quality and coverage standards are well-defined, automated, and seamlessly integrated into the delivery path.\nData-Driven Quality: Quality metrics are actively used to shorten defect cycle times and reduce escaped bugs.\n\nRequirements: \nExperience: 1-3 years of hands-on experience building, orchestrating, and maintaining test automation frameworks and suites.\nFramework Ownership: Proven experience setting test standards, structuring test architectures, and managing test feedback loops.\nStack Proficiency: Hands-on experience validating Golang APIs/services and TypeScript frontends.\nEnvironment Management: Demonstrated experience maintaining healthy, deterministic staging environments for automated test execution.\nCloud and Operations: Practical experience operating within both Azure and AWS cloud environments.\nMetrics Mindset: Experience tracking quality metrics (MTTR, escaped defects, execution duration) to improve software health.\nCommunication: Ability to articulate quality standards clearly and advocate for software quality without slowing down product delivery.\nTech Stack: Backend Services: Golang (Go).\nFrontend Applications: TypeScript; Cloud Infrastructure: Azure and AWS.\nSkills\nAutomation Testing, Go, Golang, QA Automation, Test Automation, AWS, Azure, TypeScript","description_format":"text","description_chars":3311,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Identity Management","Information Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T14:35:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T15:45:46Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hydden-qa-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hydden-qa-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T15:45:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31622,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2345935},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2345935"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhydden-qa-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhydden-qa-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhydden-qa-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hydden-qa-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhydden-qa-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4259206}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hydden.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4259206},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
