Who Would Be a Good Fit? This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving unconventional technical problems and has worked on automation that goes beyond simple scripts. Your previous title might have been: Browser Automation Engineer, Python Automation Engineer, Web Automation Specialist, Scraping Engineer, Automation Infrastructure Engineer, RPA Developer, QA Automation Engineer, or Software Engineer. Your job title is less important than what you have actually built. You may be a particularly strong candidate if you have dealt with the challenges that arise when browser automation moves from running a few scripts locally to operating multiple reliable browser sessions in a production environment. Working Environment The position is 100% remote, and working hours are highly flexible. Our client is primarily interested in finding strong people rather than requiring everyone to work from a specific location. You will be joining an international development team where independence and clear communication are important. Candidates should be comfortable taking ownership of their work while collaborating remotely with other developers. The position is intended to be a full-time, long-term engagement of approximately 40 hours per week. Freelance, contractor, B2B, or self-employed arrangements can be considered depending on your country and preferred method of engagement, provided you are interested in working with our client on a full-time and long-term basis.

Introductory Interview A short initial conversation with the recruiter to discuss your background, relevant automation experience, English communication skills, availability, and expectations. 2. Short Technical Task Selected candidates may be asked to complete a brief practical technical exercise. The assignment will intentionally be kept short and is designed to provide a practical starting point for the technical discussion rather than requiring candidates to complete a lengthy unpaid project. 3. Technical & Team Interview Candidates who successfully complete the initial stage will meet directly with our client. This interview will typically last around 30 to 45 minutes and will focus on your technical experience, previous projects, approach to automation problems, and overall fit with the team. 4. Offer & Trial Period Successful candidates will initially join through a one-month trial period, with the intention of continuing into a long-term full-time engagement.
