Test Automation SME - MuleSoft Integration

Responsibilities:

• Automate the agreed Sales Cloud and FSC workflows (for example lead creation and conversion, account and contact updates, opportunity stage progression, campaign members and pipeline views)
• Write dependable locators for Lightning and LWC pages, including Shadow DOM, and build reusable page components
• Create data-driven tests using synthetic or masked data, and set up and clean up test data safely in the sandbox
• Configure self-healing and run controlled application-change scenarios agreed with the client to show it working; capture the results
• Handle authentication for automation users, including MFA, in line with the approach the client approves
• Execute suites, analyze failures, separate product defects from flaky tests, and report pass rate, stability and execution time
• Document the suites and contribute to the run-book; follow the client's security and VDI rules at all times
• Design and automate API tests for the MuleSoft layer: request and response checks, field-level mapping and transformation, and error handling
• Validate flows that start in Salesforce and pass through MuleSoft to downstream systems, then reconcile the final outcome back on the Salesforce record
• Test file-based and batch integrations over SFTP: file creation, format and schema checks (CSV, XML, fixed-width), pick-up timing and reconciliation, organized as batch or day-wise suites
• Build service virtualization for systems that are not reachable in test, including an SFTP file-drop simulator for AWD-style status files; tools such as WireMock or Hoverfly, or small Node services
• Work with the Salesforce automation engineer to chain steps into end-to-end suites, handling polling and waits for asynchronous results
• Prepare synthetic test data, check results with SQL or API calls, and keep clear evidence for the client readout

Must-have skills:

• 4-7 years in UI test automation, with at least 2 years on Salesforce Lightning applications
• Hands-on Playwright with JavaScript or TypeScript, or Selenium with Java or Python and a willingness to move to Playwright quickly
• Good understanding of Salesforce objects such as leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities and campaigns, and of standard Salesforce data setup
• Page Object Model and data-driven design; Git; clear test reporting; basic SQL
• Skill in diagnosing flaky tests and unstable locators
• Comfort working in Agile teams and with an onsite lead across time zones
• 5-8 years in API and integration test automation
• REST and SOAP, JSON and XML; tools such as Postman, REST Assured or Playwright API testing; scripting in JavaScript, TypeScript or Java
• Experience testing file-based or batch integrations (SFTP, scheduled jobs, file formats) and asynchronous patterns such as polling and queues
• Hands-on use of at least one service virtualization or mocking tool
• Strong SQL for data checks and reconciliation
• Ability to read integration specifications and data mappings and turn them into test cases

Good to have:

• Experience with AI-assisted or self-healing test tools, or Provar, ACCELQ or Copado Robotic Testing
• Salesforce data setup through REST API or SOQL; CI tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions
• Insurance or financial services domain exposure; Salesforce Administrator certification
• MuleSoft Anypoint, DataWeave, RAML or OpenAPI; Salesforce REST API or Platform Events
• AWD, BPM, workflow or document-imaging systems; message queues; AWS S3
• Insurance or financial services domain exposure; CI tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions
