Senior QA Automation Engineer

Juniper Square is a company focused on unlocking the potential of private markets through technology and data integration. As a Senior QA Automation Engineer, you will collaborate with product and engineering teams to enhance manual and automation testing efforts, ensuring product quality and user experience through innovative AI tools.

Responsibilities:

• Review functional specifications and technical design documents, providing meaningful feedback and using AI-assisted analysis to identify edge cases or logic gaps early in the SDLC
• Work closely with development teams to identify test cases for automation and leverage AI-powered IDEs (like Cursor or Augment) to rapidly prototype and scaffold new test suites
• Design, develop, and execute test cases against product features and backend systems
• Maintain and extend automation frameworks (Playwright/Locust) by utilizing LLMs for code refactoring, optimizing test scripts, and reducing flaky test patterns
• Contribute to your development team on best practices, processes, and problem-solving, including the ethical and effective use of AI tools in the QA workflow
• Develop automated test result reports and highlight any potential quality risks
• Identify, troubleshoot, and track bugs to resolution, using AI tools to assist in root cause analysis and log interpretation
• Be an advocate for automation: Partner with the engineering team to provide recommendations on how to decrease manual efforts through automated solutions and AI-driven test generation
• Experience designing evaluation frameworks for LLM-powered features, including prompt regression testing and behavioral drift detection
• Proactively leverage AI tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude, etc…) to accelerate test authoring, debugging, and maintenance of automation frameworks
• Use AI to diagnose failures, generate test scenarios, and improve coverage and efficiency
• Contribute to testing strategies for AI-powered features, including validation of LLM outputs, edge cases, and reliability
• Drive best practices for the ethical and effective use of AI tools within QA workflows and across the broader engineering team

Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience
• Experience: 5+ years in Software Quality Assurance, with strong expertise in testing web applications
• Test Automation: Skilled in designing, building, and maintaining test automation frameworks for web applications (preferably using Playwright)
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python
• AI-Augmented Development: Experience in using AI-powered tools (e.g., Augment, Cursor, Claude) to accelerate test authoring, assist in debugging automation scripts, and optimize documentation workflows
• API Testing: Hands-on experience in both manual, and/or automated testing of REST and/or GraphQL APIs using tools like Postman, RestAssured, or Locust
• CI/CD and SDLC: Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and software development lifecycle concepts, including code review practices, code coverage analysis, continuous testing, and delivery
• Tools and Systems: Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), test management tools (e.g., TestRail), and issue-tracking platforms (e.g., Jira)
• Test Process: Experience in creating comprehensive test plans, authoring test cases, executing tests, and adhering to QA best practices
• Soft Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently within Agile development teams
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL is a plus
• Knowledge of cloud environments (e.g., AWS) and experience with application deployments
