About the Role
Join a fast-paced Agile team as a Test Automation Engineer, taking end-to-end ownership of quality by designing, building, and running automated test frameworks from the ground up. Collaborate closely with developers, DevOps, and data engineers to ensure each release meets high standards for functionality, performance, and reliability.
Key Responsibilities
* Framework Design & Build: Architect and implement Test Automation Frameworks using Java, BDD (Fitnesse), and SQL to cover UI, API, and data-layer validations.
* Continuous Testing: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins) for shift-left testing, early defect detection, and rapid feedback.
* End-to-End Quality: Apply a holistic approach to quality control; author test strategies, execute regression suites, and analyze results across the development lifecycle.
* Independent Delivery: Lead automation efforts autonomously—set up frameworks, write reusable test libraries, and troubleshoot issues without constant oversight.
* Collaboration & Communication: Engage proactively with cross-functional teams, report test metrics, and promote best practices for quality assurance.
Must-Have Skills
* Strong Java programming and SQL querying skills
* Proven ability to set up automation frameworks from scratch
* Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, especially GitLab
* Self-starter with a proactive, team-oriented mindset
* Python scripting for data validation
* Experience with data-platform testing (Databricks advantageous)
* Familiarity with non-functional testing (performance, security)
