Role & responsibilities:

- Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks covering front-end (Angular UI) and back-end (API, integration, and data) testing

- Select and apply suitable frameworks for each layer, based on the frameworks used on the program, and keep the framework design modular and maintainable

- Develop automated functional, regression, smoke, and end-to-end tests for Angular applications deployed on AWS

- Develop and execute API automation for services built on API Gateway, AppSync, and Lambda, and for event-driven flows using Step Functions, EventBridge, SQS, and SNS

- Write and execute SQL queries to validate data integrity across Aurora PostgreSQL, Oracle, and other stores, and validate data pipeline outputs built on Glue and PySpark

- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins so tests run on every build and deployment

- Analyze test results, triage failures, and distinguish genuine defects from automation, workplace, and data issues; log findings in JIRA with clear, reproducible steps

- Support test data management with reusable, environment-independent data strategies that avoid PHI or real member data

- Cross-train backend and UI engineers on basic test automation, and work with the Tech Leads to make automated tests part of the definition of done

- Contribute to test planning, sprint ceremonies, and estimation, and report automation coverage and quality metrics to leadership

- Cover the full SDLC from a quality perspective: requirements review, test design, execution, defect analysis, release sign-off, and support

- Continuously evaluate new tools and practices to improve coverage, execution speed, and reliability





Preferred candidate profile:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field

- 6 to 8 years of hands-on experience in test automation

- Demonstrated experience with more than one test automation framework, covering both front-end and back-end testing (must have)

- Strong experience automating web UI tests, including cross-browser execution and maintainable design patterns such as the Page Object Model

- Strong experience with API test automation for REST services (for example Rest Assured or Postman), including integration and event-driven flows

- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Java

- Ability to write SQL queries for backend data validation across relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and familiarity with NoSQL stores such as MongoDB and DynamoDB

- Experience integrating automation suites into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent, with GitHub for version control

- Working awareness of AWS and container concepts: EKS, ECS, Docker, OpenShift, VPC, RDS, Security Groups, Terraform, encryption, and IAM

- Experience across the full software development lifecycle: design, configuration, testing, debugging, implementation, and support of large-scale, business-centric, process-based applications

- Strong defect analysis skills, with the ability to separate environment issues, data issues, and genuine application defects from automation failures

- Familiarity with HIPAA requirements, specifically the prohibition on using PHI or real member data in test environments or automation scripts

- Valuable written and verbal communication skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and reporting quality metrics
