Senior Test Automation Engineer / SDET

About

Are you a sharp, self-motivated quality professional who loves designing robust automation solutions and bridging the gap between complex tech and business logic? We are seeking an exceptional Senior Test Automation Engineer / SDET to join our team.

In this role, you won't just write test scripts—you will analyze complex requirements, design end-to-end testing strategies, and actively collaborate across diverse business units. You will act as a critical bridge between technical developers and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring high-quality software delivery while mentoring peers and driving continuous improvement. If you are a proactive problem-solver who takes the initiative to add tangible value from day one, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• UI & API Test Automation
  • UI Engineering: Develop, maintain, and optimize scalable UI test automation frameworks across web and mobile applications using tools like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or Eggplant.
  • Dynamic Web Interaction: Utilize deep knowledge of DOM structures, dynamic XPaths, CSS selectors, and JavaScript execution to build resilient tests.
  • API Testing: Build and optimize automation frameworks for functional, non-functional, security, and backward-compatibility testing of REST/SOAP services.
  • Advanced Tech Stack: Implement contract testing (e.g., Pact), API mocking/virtualization, and handle advanced authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT, API keys).
• Strategy & CI/CD Integration
  • Continuous Integration: Seamlessly integrate test suites into modern CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, etc.) for continuous testing.
  • Test Strategy & Analysis: Analyze requirements to define robust test strategies, identify coverage gaps, and optimize framework execution (including parallel execution).
  • Data Management: Implement stable test data management strategies and environment setups.
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Cross-Functional Teamwork: Work across different teams and units to track, triage, and resolve defects efficiently.
  • Technical Communication: Translate complex technical testing metrics into clear, actionable reports for non-technical stakeholders, product owners, and business analysts.
  • Mentorship: Participate in peer code reviews, share knowledge, and support developers and junior testers with troubleshooting and debugging efforts.

  • 3 years focused on Test Analysis & Strategy formulation.
• Programming Proficiency: Strong scripting/programming skills in at least one language (Java, Python, JavaScript, or C#).
• BDD Frameworks: Solid familiarity with Gherkin syntax and BDD frameworks (e.g., Cucumber, Spec Flow).
• Proven Track Record: Ability to confidently present past project implementations, discuss framework architecture choices, and detail how you overcame complex testing lifecycle challenges.

Desirable Skills (Beneficial):

• Experience with mobile test automation tools (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest).
• Performance testing experience using tools like JMeter.
• Exposure to cloud-based testing infrastructure like Sauce Labs.
