QA Automation Engineer

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer you are a technical leader who sets the quality bar for your team and elevates testing practices across the organization. You blend deep automation expertise with cross-functional leadership — crafting in-depth test strategies, driving non-functional and load testing, mentoring engineers, and partnering with your Tech Lead to define automation approaches for large, complex projects. This role requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams, ownership of quality and technical excellence, and the ability to drive high-quality deliverables that ensure customers have an unparalleled experience across our digital platforms.

What You Will Do: 

• Be the quality champion for your team, owning the end-to-end validation of features, including requirements definition, in-depth test planning, and quality signoff. 

• Partner with the Tech Lead to define automation plans and test strategies for large projects, and help the team find ways to deliver incrementally for larger projects. 

• Craft in-depth test plans and maintain robust automation frameworks for testing APIs, mobile applications (iOS and Android), and desktop to ensure reliable releases. 

• Drive non-functional testing (NFT) for your team and manage load testing for large features, participating hands-on in performance and load testing efforts. 

• Be the owner of your test suite. Actively monitor automation results, address failures and issues regularly, and continuously fine-tune runners and framework performance. 

• Build, maintain, and optimize test pipelines within CI/CD workflows, ensuring developers receive fast feedback on the test results of their changes. 

• Coach developers on unit and integration testing. 

• Participate in UAT and provide suggestions for improvement across the application. 

• Proactively identify risks, advocate for testing best practices, and address gaps in automation coverage. Consider the impact of work across multiple teams and proactively manage issues. 

• Identify and drive new and better ways of working, and consistently achieve project goals while supporting the team in overcoming obstacles to deliver results. 

• Regularly demonstrate new automation tests with engineering and partner with the team to improve the test suite. Raise defects and advocate for their resolution in team triage sessions. 

• Provide support for internal tools and frameworks, contributing to the broader Automation QA (AQA) strategy across the organization.
