Role Summary

We’re seeking a Senior Quality Automation Engineer with strong expertise in building and scaling automated test frameworks across API, UI, data, and end-to-end integration layers. In this role, you will help shape the quality strategy for our enterprise merchandising and pricing platforms by designing resilient test architectures, embedding automation into CI/CD pipelines, and validating distributed workflows that span pricing engines, promotions adjudication, catalog, and 100+ downstream integrations.
