Summary: Seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to strengthen quality assurance, audit existing automation, improve test strategy, and ensure reliable, defect-free releases by collaborating with Development, DevOps, and Product teams. Highlights: 1. Strengthen quality assurance processes and achieve defect-free releases 2. Audit, rebuild, and improve automation for stability and scalability 3. Collaborate cross-functionally to elevate overall product quality We are looking for a **Senior QA Automation Engineer** to strengthen our quality assurance process. 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. You will collaborate closely with Development, DevOps, and Product teams to implement best practices, optimize testing workflows, and elevate overall product quality. **Key Responsibilities** **1\. Automation Quality \& Test Architecture** * Audit existing automation to identify false positives, flakiness, outdated libraries, missing regression coverage, and low\-value tests. * 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. **2\. 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\. Testing Process \& Standards** * Create/update test strategy, test cases (manual \+ automated), test data plans, and acceptance criteria. * Document all test results clearly, ensuring traceability and reproducibility. * Enhance collaboration between QA, Dev, and Product to reduce defect leakage. **4\. Environment \& CI/CD** * Work with DevOps to stabilize QA/UAT environments. * Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with reliable pass/fail signals. * Reduce test flakiness and ensure poor\-quality builds are blocked. **5\. Release Quality Ownership** * Validate release candidates end\-to\-end. * 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). * API automation using **Postman, REST Assured, or Playwright API**. * Deep knowledge of waits, DOM handling, test data mocking/stubbing, and browser drivers. * Solid SQL knowledge for data validation. * Experience testing distributed systems, microservices, caching layers, and cloud environments. * 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. **Quality Engineering Expertise** * Ability to reverse\-engineer unclear or undocumented features. * 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. * High sense of ownership — proactive, autonomous, and structured. * Transparent risk communication with PM/CTO and cross\-functional teams. **Language Requirement** * **English: C1 required**
