Experience: 9+ yrs

Location: India

Job Type: Full time

We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer with 9+ years of experience in software quality engineering and a strong track record of building scalable automation frameworks rather than simply operating existing test suites.

The role requires deep expertise across UI automation, API testing, backend validation, CI/CD, performance engineering, event-driven systems, and cloud-native applications . You will play a key role in establishing robust quality engineering practices, improving test automation coverage, and embedding continuous testing throughout the software development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on engineering capabilities with the ability to design maintainable automation architecture and drive quality improvements across complex software systems.

Requirements Key Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for complex software applications
- Develop robust UI automation using Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or comparable frameworks
- Build automated API and integration tests using tools such as Rest Assured, Postman, or equivalent technologies
- Develop comprehensive test strategies covering functional, regression, integration, API, data, and end-to-end testing
- Implement backend and database validation using SQL and other data-validation techniques
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and rapid quality feedback




- Work with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar CI/CD platforms to automate test execution and reporting
- Identify opportunities to improve automation coverage, reliability, execution speed, and maintainability
- Design reusable automation components, utilities, libraries, and frameworks that can scale across products and teams
- Perform root-cause analysis of test failures and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve defects and quality issues
- Develop testing approaches for event-driven and distributed systems, including Kafka-based applications
- Contribute to performance engineering, including performance testing, bottleneck identification, and system behaviour analysis
- Validate cloud-native applications and services deployed across environments such as Azure and Kubernetes
- Establish quality gates and automated validation within software delivery pipelines
- Collaborate with developers and technical teams to shift testing earlier in the development lifecycle
- Maintain automation standards, technical documentation, test strategies, and engineering best practices
- Continuously evaluate emerging testing tools and technologies to improve quality engineering effectiveness

What Makes You a Outstanding Fit




- 9-12 years of experience in software quality engineering, QA automation, or a closely related engineering role
- Proven experience building automation frameworks from the ground up, not just executing or maintaining existing frameworks
- Strong hands-on expertise with Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or comparable automation frameworks
- Solid experience with API automation, including Rest Assured, Postman, or similar tools
- Strong SQL skills and experience performing backend, database, and data validation
- Solid understanding of CI/CD and continuous testing practices
- Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent CI/CD technologies
- Experience with performance engineering and performance testing
- Strong understanding of distributed systems and Kafka/event-driven architectures
- Experience testing cloud-native applications, preferably within Azure and Kubernetes environments
- Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, automation architecture, test strategy, and quality engineering principles
- Excellent debugging, analytical, and root-cause analysis skills
- Solid programming and scripting capabilities for developing maintainable automation solutions
- Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, DevOps engineers, product teams, and other technical stakeholders
- Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive automation and quality initiatives
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical quality issues clearly
