Automation Test Engineer

Join a quality-first team where your automation expertise directly shapes reliable, high-performing software releases. In this role, you'll design and evolve robust test automation that helps teams move faster with confidence. You'll collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and QA peers to identify risks early, improve test coverage, and reduce manual effort through smart automation. If you enjoy solving complex testing challenges, building scalable frameworks, and advocating for quality across the SDLC, you'll feel right at home. You'll have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, contribute to continuous improvement, and mentor best practices while keeping the culture collaborative, supportive, and focused on delivering great customer experiences.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Automation and Framework Development:

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using Selenium with Java for web application testing.
• Build and enhance scalable automation frameworks (e. g., Page Object Model, reusable utilities, and reporting).
• Develop and maintain regression, smoke, and sanity automation suites aligned with release goals.
• Ensure test automation is stable, maintainable, and optimised for execution time and reliability.

Test Strategy and Execution:

• Analyse requirements and user stories to create test scenarios, test cases, and automation coverage plans.
• Perform functional, integration, and end-to-end validation with a strong focus on defect prevention.
• Investigate failures, perform root-cause analysis, and collaborate with developers to resolve issues quickly.

CI/CD and Collaboration:

• Integrate automated tests into CI pipelines and support continuous testing practices.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, provide quality status updates, and contribute to release readiness decisions.
• Maintain clear test documentation, execution reports, and actionable quality metrics for stakeholders.

Requirements:

• Engineering degree or equivalent practical experience in software testing/quality engineering.
• 4-8 years of experience in automation testing with strong hands-on expertise in Selenium and Java.
• Solid understanding of test design techniques, SDLC/STLC, and defect lifecycle management.
• Experience creating maintainable automated test suites and ensuring consistent regression coverage.
• Strong debugging skills and ability to troubleshoot automation failures and application issues.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience using Python for test automation, utilities, or test data preparation.
• Experience building or enhancing automation frameworks with strong coding standards and reusable components.
• Familiarity with API testing and validating service-layer behaviour alongside UI automation.
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD workflows and improving test execution efficiency.
• Proven ability to mentor peers, review automation code, and drive best practices across QA and engineering teams.
