About the role
- Design, develop, and implement highly scalable, reliable, and maintainable test automation frameworks from scratch across multiple platforms (e.g., web, API, backend services).
- Serve as the technical authority on testing methodologies, tools, and best practices.
- Drive high standards for test code quality, structure, and maintainability, including code reviews for automation scripts and framework contributions from SDET team.
- Design and execute advanced non-functional tests, including performance and load tests, and integrate them into the CI/CD pipeline.
- Partner with development and product teams to integrate testing practices early in the development lifecycle (Shift-Left).
- Advocate for and implement robust quality gates and coverage metrics.
- Own and optimize the integration of automated tests into the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to ensure rapid feedback and zero defect leakage to production.
- Expertly debug and analyze complex system failures, identifying root causes in both application code and test infrastructure.
- Coach and mentor junior and mid-level SDETs and software engineers on technical design, testing strategy, and effective automation techniques.
- Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for test strategies, automation frameworks, and best practices to enable self-service quality for all engineers.
- Contribute significantly to the long-term quality roadmap and technology choices alongside Engineering Managers and Principal Engineers.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
- Minimum of 7+ years of professional experience in a hands-on SDET, Automation Engineer, or Quality Engineer role.
- Expert proficiency in at least one object-oriented programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C#, Go) used for building production-level code and automation frameworks.
- Proven experience designing and scaling test automation frameworks (e.g., using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or equivalents) for complex, large-scale applications.
- Deep practical knowledge of CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong understanding of software architecture, data structures, and algorithms.
- Excellent ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and influence cross-functional technical teams.
