We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to strengthen our quality assurance process during a fast‑paced 4‑month delivery cycle. Although the platform has existing automation in place, recurring bugs and unstable releases reveal structural gaps in quality coverage. This role requires a highly skilled engineer capable of auditing the current automation, rebuilding unstable areas, improving test strategy, and ensuring reliable, defect‑free releases.

Quality & Test Architecture - Audit existing automation to identify false positives, flakiness, outdated libraries, missing regression coverage, and low‑value tests.

n

- Refactor or rebuild automation for stability, maintainability, and scalability.
- Define the automation scope for the upcoming delivery cycle (new features, high‑risk areas, historical bugs).
- Implement best‑practice patterns: Page Object Model, reusable fixtures, API abstraction, stable waits.
- Functional & Regression Testing - Perform manual testing for new features with unclear or incomplete acceptance criteria.
- Build/improve a complete regression suite integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Validate bug fixes and ensure test coverage prevents reoccurrence.
- Report defect patterns and risk areas to leadership. 3.

n

- Document all test results clearly, ensuring traceability and reproducibility.
- Enhance collaboration between QA, Dev, and Product to reduce defect leakage.




- Environment & CI/CD - Work with DevOps to stabilize QA/UAT environments.

Release Quality

n

Ownership - Validate release candidates end‑to‑end.

n

- Execute smoke, sanity, exploratory, and performance testing when needed.
- Provide clear go/no‑go indicators based on quality KPIs. ? Requirements Technical Skills - Strong experience with automation frameworks: Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, WebdriverIO (depending on the stack).

- Hands‑on experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
- Strong Git branching, PR review, and version‑control best practices.

n

Quality Engineering

n

Expertise - Ability to reverse‑engineer unclear or undocumented features.

n

- Strong root‑cause analysis skills — understanding not only what fails, but why.
- Ability to validate and correct inaccurate automation coverage claims.
- Solid regression testing strategy.
- Experience with performance/load testing tools (JMeter, k6) is a plus. Soft Skills - Excellent communication with the ability to challenge assumptions diplomatically.
