How will you make an impact?

• Design, develop, execute, and maintain automated test suites for web applications and backend services.
• Build and enhance automation frameworks using Java, Playwright, and related testing technologies.
• Create automated test cases and test scenarios based on business requirements, technical specifications, and user stories.
• Analyze requirements and system behavior to identify edge cases, failure scenarios, coverage gaps, and quality risks.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing throughout the software release lifecycle.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support reliable and repeatable quality gates.
• Investigate test failures, troubleshoot automation issues, and collaborate with development teams to resolve defects efficiently.
• Review automation code, promote engineering best practices, and contribute to the continuous improvement of automation frameworks and testing processes.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to improve product quality, testability, maintainability, and release readiness.
• Drive improvements in automation coverage, execution efficiency, and test reliability.
• Mentor junior automation engineers and share technical knowledge, tools, and best practices across the team.

Have you got what it takes?

• At least 4-8 years of hands-on experience in test automation, software quality engineering, or a related field.
• Strong programming skills in Java with a solid understanding of object-oriented design principles.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, 
  • Experience with API testing tools and frameworks such as REST Assured, Postman, or similar technologies.
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining automated test cases from requirements and acceptance criteria.
