• Identifying new opportunities for automation and design
• Management of a project team when necessary
• Designing new automation equipment or processes
• Simulating and testing these processes or equipment to ensure they function as desired
• Development of documentation for the new equipment and processes

Automation Engineer – Hot Rolling

• Hands-on ownership of automation frameworks and suites for one or more services/products
• Drives automation coverage and reliability improvements; owns triage workflows and reduces flakiness and runtime
• Partners with engineers to ensure stories are testable and quality gates are met before promotion
• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites for APIs and services; expand coverage while keeping tests deterministic and fast
• Create reusable automation patterns (data builders, helpers, stubs/mocks where appropriate) to reduce duplication and improve maintainability
• Own regression automation health: flake reduction, runtime optimization (parallelization where appropriate), and clear failure triage signals
• Define and implement a layered test strategy (unit, component/service, integration, end-to-end) aligned to change risk and payment criticality
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD and define/enforce quality gates for merge and promotion readiness (evidence-based Definition of Done)
• Drive defect prevention: analyze defect leakage trends, run retrospectives on escapes, and implement systemic fixes (test gaps, unclear requirements, missing validations)
• Partner with Engineers, Architects, and Business Systems Analyst/Product Owners early to clarify acceptance criteria, edge cases, and testability; translate behavior into executable checks where appropriate
• Provide quality feedback during design and product review cycles; promote testability, observability, and safe change patterns
• Support release readiness by validating test evidence and coordinating with change/release processes as needed
• Contribute to performance and resiliency validation approaches where appropriate (test data, scenarios, and automation hooks)
• Ensure monitoring and diagnostic artifacts exist for failures (logs/metrics/traces) and that test failures are actionable

Senior Software Engineer – Backend Quality Engineer, Automation

• Develop and maintain EAG/API-gateway automation components that integrate with Government-approved CI/CD pipelines.
• Create and validate configuration-as-code, pipeline-compatible deployment artifacts, gateway promotion workflows, API validation gates, and migration automation components.
• Support automated checks for API specification quality, governance compliance, Zero Trust controls, telemetry, configuration drift, and production-readiness evidence.
• Build automation and validation evidence that supports PWS automation outcomes, including 75 percent manual onboarding reduction, 90 percent automated onboarding success rate, and 100 percent Zero Trust/governance compliance prior to production deployment.
• Troubleshoot gateway-side CI/CD integration issues, including deployment failures, configuration errors, credential/certificate dependencies, environment promotion issues, and validation gate failures.
• Support Git-based version control, branching, pull/merge request workflows, artifact repositories, and release evidence.
• Coordinate with Government CI/CD, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, identity, network, and release teams for platform-owned dependencies.
• Produce pipeline documentation, automation runbooks, validation logs, deployment evidence, rollback steps, and knowledge-transfer materials.

Gateway Automation Engineer

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks for UI, API, and backend testing.
• Lead the automation strategy, prioritizing efforts based on risk, impact, and business needs; establish and enforce automation standards and best practices.
• Convert manual test cases into automated solutions.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Execute, monitor, and maintain automated regression and smoke test suites to ensure product stability and quality.
• Conduct root cause analysis on defects and test failures.
• Prepare and communicate quality metrics and status reports to management.
• Collaborate with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Developers, and other stakeholders to ensure quality requirements are clearly defined.

Senior Quality Assurance Engineer – Automation

• Serves as the technical owner for enterprise Data Quality platforms and tooling
