QA Automation Engineer

Role Overview

• Identify, design, and prioritise test scenarios covering functional, regression, integration, API, and end-to-end user journeys — focusing on the areas of highest risk and business value.
• Develop and sustain scalable test automation frameworks and suites that are robust, reusable, and straightforward for the wider team to contribute to.
• Embed automated testing within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) to enable continuous testing, fast feedback, shorter release cycles, and frequent, confident deployments.
• Take ownership of API, integration, and contract testing for the platform's open-API layer and all dependent client and 3PL system integrations.
• Verify data-driven and AI/ML-powered capabilities — such as automated disposition decisions, model outputs, and predictive analytics — applying fit-for-purpose strategies for non-deterministic behaviour.
• Drive defect triage and Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA) analysis to identify why defects escape, and implement preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
• Architect and run performance, load, and reliability tests to confirm the platform operates reliably as transaction volumes grow from thousands to millions.
• Partner with cross-functional Agile teams — including software engineers, data scientists, product owners, and business stakeholders — to embed quality thinking from the earliest stages of development.
• Establish and monitor quality metrics — including coverage, defect trends, test stability/flakiness, and release readiness — and report quality status clearly to all stakeholders.
• Participate in code and test reviews, offering constructive feedback and upholding high engineering and quality standards across the team.
• Keep test documentation current and comprehensive — covering test plans, frameworks, and processes — to ensure transparency and effective knowledge transfer.
• Continuously explore emerging QA tooling and AI-assisted testing approaches, bringing fresh ideas to broaden coverage and minimize manual effort.

Requirements

• 4+ years in QA automation or SDET roles, shipping and supporting production-grade software products.
• Ability to write clean, modular automation code in at least one of: Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#.
• Practical experience with UI and API test automation tooling (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Postman, REST Assured).
• Deep knowledge of QA practices spanning functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing — with a clear understanding of where automation delivers the greatest return.
• Proven track record of embedding automated tests into CI/CD workflows (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
• Confident SQL skills and the ability to independently verify data quality across large, complex datasets.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-hosted applications, APIs, and system integrations; familiarity with Azure services is a strong advantage.
• Excellent communication abilities — comfortable translating quality risks and test outcomes into clear, actionable insights for both technical and business audiences.
• Solid background working within Agile teams, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of quality outcomes.
• Nice to have: exposure to AI/ML or data-heavy system testing; performance/load testing tools (k6, JMeter, Locust); BDD frameworks (Cucumber, SpecFlow); containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
