Senior QA Automation Engineer

Job Description:

At TJX India in Hyderabad, you'll join a high-performance engineering hub transforming mission-critical systems through automation, reliability, and modern engineering excellence. We foster a culture centered on technical mastery, autonomy, and growth-where quality and reliability engineering are treated as core engineering disciplines.

What you will discover:

• A quality-first engineering culture that values automation, resilience, and shift-left thinking
• A global technology organization collaborating across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia
• Opportunities to define reliability and quality patterns that accelerate TJX modernization
• A collaborative environment where senior engineers influence standards and elevate engineering excellence

Role:

As a Senior QA Automation, you will lead the transformation from manual testing to fully automated, shift-left quality engineering across Store Web modernization. You will design contract-testing frameworks, reliability gates, smoke-test automation, and offline validation suites that ensure zero-regression cutovers. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role where your automation frameworks, reliability patterns, and quality governance will shape how modernization teams deliver safely and predictably.

What you will do:

• Architect API-first contract-testing frameworks that validate APIM routing, compatibility, and strangled services.
• Integrate smoke, regression, and reliability tests directly into CI/CD pipelines with automated gating.
• Design offline, reconnect, and degraded-network scenario suits ensuring robust client and backend behavior.
• Implement data-integrity validation frameworks, reconciliation checks, and pre-/post-deployment verification.
• Partner with developers to embed testability patterns-telemetry hooks, mocks/stubs, and fault-injection points.
• Define release-readiness criteria grounded in reliability of metrics, automated validation, and service-level health.
• Continuously evolving automation tooling, frameworks, and quality accelerators adopted across modernization teams.
• Drive a culture of reliability engineering through documentation, training, and cross-team technical leadership.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years automation engineering experience focused on API-first or distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience into Manual & Automation testing transforming experience
• Expertise integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines with gating and quality enforcement.
• Hands-on experience building test frameworks supporting cloud-native or modernized architectures.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with consumer-driven contract testing (CDC) frameworks.
• Background in performance, resilience, or chaos-testing patterns.
• Familiarity with event-driven validation, async workflow testing, or distributed-state consistency checks.
