Role Overview
We are looking for a versatile and security-conscious Full-Stack QA Automation Engineer to lead our end-to-end testing strategy. You will be responsible for ensuring the quality of both frontend and backend systems, utilizing a hybrid approach of Selenium/ Playwright for custom-coded frameworks and Low-Code/No-Code tools for rapid test expansion. Beyond functional correctness, you will integrate security parameters into the testing lifecycle to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End Automation & Framework Development
Selenium/ Playwright Mastery: Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable automated test suites using Selenium WebDriver (Java/Python/C#).
Hybrid Strategy: Implement and manage Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) automation tools (e.g., Katalon, Testim, mabl, or ACCELQ) to accelerate test coverage for stable UI components and business workflows.
Full-Stack Testing: Perform comprehensive testing across the stack, including UI validation, API/Microservices testing, and database integrity checks.

2. Security & Compliance Integration
Vulnerability Scanning: Integrate automated security testing tools (DAST/SAST) into the CI/CD pipeline.
Parameter Testing: Validate the application against the OWASP Top 10 (SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, etc.) and ensure proper handling of authentication and authorization protocols.




Data Protection: Verify encryption standards and data privacy compliance across all product layers.

3. CI/CD & DevSecOps
Incorporate automated tests into Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions to enable "Shift-Left" testing.
Collaborate with DevOps to ensure workplace stability and automated reporting of quality/security gates.

4. Strategy & Collaboration
Analyze complex business requirements to create end-to-end test plans.
Mentor junior QA members on best practices for both scripted and scriptless automation.
Partner with developers to perform root-cause analysis of defects and security flaws.

Required Skills & Qualifications
Experience: 3+ years in Software Quality Assurance with at least 3 years focused on automation.
Automation Tools: Expert proficiency in Selenium/ Playwright.
Programming: Strong coding skills in Java, Typescript or JavaScript .
Backend Skills: Proficiency in API Testing (Postman, REST Assured) and SQL for database validation.
Security Mindset: Practical knowledge of security testing principles and tools (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, or Snyk).
Environment: Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment with Jira and Git.

We are looking for candidates with hands-on experience in automation testing, particularly using Playwright.
