About the Role
Key Responsibilities:
Architect, design, and maintain robust automation frameworks for web (Playwright/Selenium) and API testing (Postman, REST-assured, etc.).
Lead the implementation of comprehensive test strategies and plans based on technical specifications and business requirements.
Drive automation-first approaches in functional, regression, performance, and integration testing.
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure fast feedback cycles.
Mentor and support junior SDETs through code reviews, tooling recommendations, and technical discussions.
Collaborate with developers, product managers, and QA to ensure test coverage, traceability, and quality benchmarks are met.
Contribute to test data management, mocking, and virtualization strategies to improve test reliability and independence.
Track quality metrics, analyze defect trends, and proactively drive improvements.
Experience and Qualifications:
Must-Have:
5+ years of experience in test automation for backend and frontend systems.
Strong programming skills in Java or JavaScript with a test automation focus.
Hands-on expertise with Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent for web automation.
Proficiency with API testing tools such as Postman, REST-assured, or similar.
Experience building automation frameworks from scratch and integrating with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab).
Strong knowledge of testing principles, SDLC, Agile methodology, and defect lifecycle.
Familiarity with performance testing concepts and tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling).
Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and backend testing strategies.
Working knowledge of Linux/Unix systems and shell scripting.
Nice-to-Have:
Experience with containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.
Exposure to infrastructure-as-code or DevOps practices.
Experience with static code analysis and test coverage tools.
