About

We are looking for a QA Automation Engineer / SDET to support reliability and platform testing initiatives across large‑scale streaming platforms, web, mobile, and connected‑TV ecosystems.

This is a highly automation‑driven role focused on framework development, end‑to‑end testing, CI/CD integration, and release stability. This is not a manual QA position-a strong automation and engineering mindset is required.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Cypress, Selenium, Playwright, or similar tools
  • Build automated test suites for web applications, APIs, middleware, and platform workflows
  • Develop and maintain Python‑based automation scripts and testing utilities
  • Perform API and backend testing using REST, JSON, Swagger, Postman, or REST Assured
  • Validate Java‑based backend and middleware integrations
  • Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Concourse, or similar)
  • Analyze logs and troubleshoot failures using monitoring and logging tools
  • Execute regression, reliability, integration, and performance‑focused testing
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies, defect triage, and release readiness activities
  • Collaborate with developers, DevOps, product, and QA teams to improve release quality

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of QA Automation / SDET experience
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Cypress and/or Selenium
  • 3+ years of Python scripting experience
  • Experience testing Java‑based applications or middleware
  • Strong API testing experience
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins
  • Familiarity with JIRA, TestRail, Octane, or similar QA tools
  • Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and communication skills

Nice to Have

  • Experience with streaming, OTT, media, or connected‑device platforms
  • Mobile automation using Appium
  • Experience with Playwright or modern JavaScript automation frameworks
  • Performance or reliability testing using JMeter
  • Exposure to Concourse CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience testing on Smart TVs, Roku, Android TV, Alexa, or device‑lab environments
  • Experience building automation frameworks from scratch
  • Familiarity with Splunk or Datadog
