Role Overview:

We are seeking a skilled and versatile Python Automation Engineer with Quality Expertise to join our Advanced Proof of Concept (APOC) team. This is a hybrid engineering role, development-first in nature, where the primary focus is on building automation solutions, tools and scripts that power APOC initiatives. When the queue demands it, the same engineer will shift to quality validation, ensuring the reliability, scalability and correctness of solutions developed within the team.

The ideal candidate is a strong Python developer who also brings hands-on QA capabilities — someone comfortable writing production-grade automation code as their core work, and equally capable of stepping into structured testing, API validation and defect analysis as needed. This dual capability makes you a force multiplier on a fast-moving APOC team.

Key Responsibilities:

Development (Primary Focus)

• Design, develop and maintain Python-based automation tools, scripts and integrations for APOC solutions.
• Build reusable automation frameworks, utilities and internal tooling to accelerate proof-of-concept delivery.
• Develop REST API integrations, backend services and workflow automation components.
• Write clean, well-documented and maintainable Python code following engineering best practices.
• Collaborate with APOC Architects, Product Managers and Engineering teams to translate requirements into working solutions.
• Participate in solution design discussions, technical reviews and architecture deep dives.
• Set up, configure and manage automation environments and solution infrastructure for APOC demonstrations and pilots.

Quality Engineering (As Queue Demands)

• Develop and execute test strategies, test plans and validation frameworks for APOC initiatives.
• Perform functional, integration, API, regression and exploratory testing of proof-of-concept solutions.
• Build and maintain API test automation using Python and industry-standard frameworks.
• Validate scalability, data flows, system integrations, workflow functionality and solution performance.
• Identify, document, prioritize and track defects through to resolution.
• Execute root cause analysis and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
• Validate security, reliability and performance aspects of APOC environments where applicable.
• Contribute to QA best practices, reusable testing assets and documentation standards.

What You Bring/Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 4–8 years of total experience, with a strong foundation in Python development and automation.
• Hands-on Python development experience — writing scripts, automation tools, API integrations or backend utilities.
• Proven experience in API development and testing using REST principles.
• Experience with QA practices including test planning, test design, defect management and validation reporting.
• Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile/Scrum and software engineering best practices.
• Proven ability to work across both development and testing workstreams within the same engagement.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder collaboration skills.

Technical Skills

Must Have

• Python (primary language — development, scripting, automation)
• REST API Development & Testing
• Postman
• Git
• PyCharm / VS Code
• Test Planning, Test Design and Validation
• Functional, Integration and Regression Testing
• Agile/Scrum Methodologies
• Linux and Windows Environments

 Preferred / Good to Have

• Python automation frameworks (pytest, Robot Framework or similar)
• Selenium or similar UI automation
• MongoDB — validation, querying and data verification
• Jenkins / CI-CD pipeline integration
• Performance and Load Testing tools
• Docker or containerized environment experience
• Exposure to security validation and networking concepts
• Understanding of distributed systems and complex integrations
• Networking and Security domain knowledge

Preferred Attributes

• Comfortable switching between development and QA modes based on team needs
• Passion for quality, automation and building things that actually work end-to-end.
• Strong ownership mindset — takes a task from requirement to delivery independently.
• Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous APOC-style environments with evolving requirements.
• Experience working on customer-facing solutions, pilots or proof-of-concept initiatives.
• Quick learner who can pick up new technologies, APIs and solution domains rapidly.
• Strong documentation skills — code comments, test reports and knowledge articles.
