Build, maintain, and continuously improve automated test suites for web and API layers, with strong integration into continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
Drive an automation-first quality engineering approach by identifying opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve test reliability, and accelerate feedback throughout the development lifecycle.
Partner closely with product, frontend, backend, and platform engineers to validate requirements, prevent defects early, and deliver high-quality customer experiences.
Work alongside developers during feature implementation to enable shift-left testing, rapid iteration, and earlier detection of quality issues.
Develop and use service virtualization, mocks, and test data strategies to validate functionality efficiently across dependent systems.
Contribute to estimation, test strategy, and feasibility assessments by identifying quality risks, automation needs, and dependencies early in the planning process.
Promote consistent engineering and quality best practices across the team, including test maintainability, CI health, observability, and continuous improvement.
Apply analytical thinking and data-driven problem solving to improve coverage, identify gaps, and strengthen overall engineering quality.
Knowledge of AI-assisted engineering practices and tools is preferred, including the ability to use AI to improve test design, accelerate analysis, and enhance quality engineering productivity.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical discipline, with 10+ years of experience in a software engineering or quality engineering organization.
Hands-on experience designing and maintaining automated tests for web applications using tools such as Playwright and Selenium.
Hands-on experience building automated API tests using frameworks such as Playwright or equivalent API automation tools.
Working knowledge of Javascript and familiarity with Java-based testing frameworks and modern test automation patterns.
Exposure to distributed systems, service-oriented architectures, and dependent system integrations in modern engineering environments.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and platform teams.
Comfort working through ambiguity, thinking abstractly, and iterating quickly in a collaborative agile environment.
Demonstrated interest in automation-first quality engineering practices, including maintainable test design, CI/CD quality gates, and continuous improvement.
Knowledge of AI-assisted engineering or testing tools is preferred, especially where used to improve test design, accelerate troubleshooting, or enhance engineering productivity.
Experience in the financial services industry is a plus.
