Job Description

We are looking for a Sr. Automation QA Engineer

As a QA Engineer, you will be an integral part of a cross-functional Agile product development group, responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and usability of the HR/cloud solution. You'll collaborate closely with Product Owners, Developers, UX/Design, DevOps, and other QA peers to define test strategy, execute test plans (manual and automation), raise quality metrics, and advocate for the end user.

Responsibilities:

Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and stand-ups to understand upcoming features, acceptance criteria, and risks.
Define test strategy, test objectives, and scope for features in the product.
Design, develop, and execute test cases (manual and automated) that cover UI, API, integration, and system behavior.
Build and maintain automation suites using tools such as Selenium (or other UI automation frameworks), API test tools, BDD frameworks (e.g., Cucumber).
Execute functional, regression, integration, system, performance, and usability tests.
Work with DevOps/CI pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) to integrate automation and ensure build quality.
Collaborate with developers to locate root causes, reproduce issues, provide detailed bug reports (with steps to reproduce, logs, screen captures, data), and verify fixes.
Advocate for quality by identifying gaps in test coverage, recommending improvements in the process, toolchain, or product design.
Generate and present metrics on test coverage, defect trends, automation execution, and quality status to stakeholders.
Champion best practices around QA in the team (e.g., shift-left testing, pair testing, automation early in sprint).
Stay current with new testing tools, frameworks, or techniques, and coach/mentor junior QA engineers as needed.

Requirements:

Several years of professional QA/test engineering experience in a software development environment (UI, API, integration testing).
Strong experience with automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium WebDriver) and test script development (languages such as Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python).
Experience with BDD frameworks (Cucumber, SpecFlow) and writing feature/scenario files.
Experience in API testing (Postman, REST/SOAP services) and backend testing (databases, SQL).
Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins) and integrating automation into the build pipeline.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfortable working in an Agile/Scrum environment with dynamic, ambiguous requirements, fast pace.

Required Skills:

Ideally automation testing with Playwright experience.

Preferred Skills:

Experience with modern UI frameworks (e.g., React, Angular) or mobile testing frameworks.
Familiarity with performance/load testing (JMeter, etc.) or accessibility testing (WCAG).
Experience working on SaaS/cloud-based HR/HCM products.
Experience mentoring other QA engineers, contributing to team process improvements.
