About this role
Brillio is one of the fastest growing digital technology service providers, renowned for its world-class professionals. They are seeking a Senior/Lead QA Automation Engineer to improve their web application's QA processes and testing infrastructure, focusing on architecting and strategizing their testing capabilities.
Responsibilities:
- Independently architect, scale, and own the E2E test strategy for complex web applications
- Build, maintain, and optimize robust automation frameworks utilizing Cypress and TypeScript/JavaScript to improve e2e coverage and automate production smoke testing
- Automate and embed production smoke tests and regression suites directly into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure rapid, high-confidence deployments
- Perform root-cause analysis on e2e failures, flaky tests, and pipeline bottlenecks by digging into Cypress and backend logs and interacting closely with software engineers
- Lead high-impact testing initiatives (e.g., structuring efficient bug bashes, refining test case tracking workflows) and author clear, actionable technical documentation
Requirements:
- 7+ years of dedicated QA experience, with a strong trajectory focusing heavily on web automation engineering (SDET)
- Expert-level Cypress experience (2+ years of recent, intensive framework-building experience). Candidates with only Playwright, Selenium, or low-code/no-code recording tools will not be considered
- Strong Programming Skills: Proficient in TypeScript or JavaScript for writing clean, reusable automation code
- Backend Code Readability: Ability to comfortably read, navigate, and troubleshoot backend services written in Python or Go to identify defect root causes
- DevOps & CI/CD Expertise: Proven experience building automated 'quality gates' in modern CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab, etc.)
- Elite Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. You must be able to articulate complex testing strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders clearly and concisely
