We are seeking a Senior Test Automation Engineer with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience to join our Quality and Automation Team. The role will be approximately 80% automation and 20% manual testing, with primary responsibility for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automation solutions for cloud-based and web-based cybersecurity applications, complemented by focused exploratory, functional, and release-validation activities. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with product development, cybersecurity, DevOps, quality, and validation teams to accelerate delivery, improve coverage, and strengthen product quality

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities · Spend approximately 80% of the role owning the architecture, design, development, and maintenance of automation frameworks for cloud and web-based cybersecurity applications.

· Build reusable automation libraries, utilities, services, and test infrastructure that support functional, integration, API, UI, system, and end-to-end validation.

· Develop reliable automation using appropriate programming languages and frameworks, with emphasis on clean code, modular design, maintainability, and scalability.

· Automate REST API, web UI, backend service, and cloud workflow validation across supported environments.

· Integrate automated suites with CI/CD pipelines and enable scheduled, on-demand, and release-gating execution.

· Analyze failures, identify product and framework defects, perform root-cause analysis, and drive timely resolution with cross-functional teams.

· Spend approximately 20% of the role on risk-based manual testing, including exploratory testing, complex scenario validation, usability checks, and release verification where automation is not practical or has not yet been implemented.

· Define automation strategy, coding standards, review practices, quality metrics, and technical roadmaps.

· Review code, mentor engineers, troubleshoot complex issues, and provide technical leadership within the automation team.

· Collaborate with product development, cybersecurity, DevOps, quality, and validation stakeholders to understand requirements and improve testability.

· Translate suitable manual test scenarios into maintainable automated coverage,



while documenting justified manual-only coverage and associated risks.

· Maintain clear technical documentation, execution reports, dashboards, traceability, and evidence required for releases.

· Evaluate tools and technologies, lead proof-of-concept activities, and continuously improve automation efficiency, reliability, and coverage.

· Follow secure coding, credential-management, data-protection, and cybersecurity best practices throughout the automation lifecycle.

Qualifications

Qualifications and Experience · Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Electronics, Instrumentation, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or a related discipline.

· Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in software testing and test automation, with demonstrated delivery in roles primarily focused on automation and supported by hands-on manual testing.

· Demonstrated experience as a core contributor or technical lead for automation solutions supporting cloud-based or web-based applications.

· Strong software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented design, data structures, design patterns, debugging, and source-control practices.

· Practical experience in test design, exploratory testing, defect reporting, regression testing, and release validation, with the ability to determine which scenarios should remain manual and which should be automated.

· Experience working in Agile product-development environments and collaborating with geographically distributed teams.

Mandatory Technical Skills

· The following skills and experience are mandatory for this role:

· Advanced proficiency in at least one automation-oriented programming language as Python, Java or JavaScript/TypeScript.

· Hands-on experience with web automation frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.





· Strong experience in API automation and validation using REST clients, libraries, or frameworks.

· Experience with unit and test frameworks such as PyTest, JUnit, TestNG, NUnit, or equivalent.

· Working knowledge of cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, including services, identity, networking, logging, and deployment concepts.

· Experience in integrating automation into CI/CD systems such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.

· Proficiency with Git-based workflows, code reviews, branching strategies, and build pipelines.

· Experience with containers and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

· Positive understanding of web technologies, authentication and authorization mechanisms, certificates, APIs, databases, and distributed-system fundamentals.

· Ability to diagnose failures using logs, traces, monitoring data, and systematic debugging techniques.

· Understanding of secure software-development practices and common cybersecurity concepts relevant to cloud and web applications.

Additional Skills

· Experience automating cybersecurity products, security platforms, connected systems, or enterprise software.

· Knowledge of security testing concepts, including vulnerability management, identity and access management, encryption, audit logging, and role-based access control.

· Experience with performance, reliability, resilience, or security-focused automation.

· Experience designing automation for multi-tenant SaaS platforms or microservices-based applications.
