Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer who will take ownership of designing and building a robust automation framework to systematically automate our current Regression Testing Suite.
This role requires a QA professional who can architect scalable, maintainable automated test solutions, define an automation roadmap, and drive our regression testing from a largely manual process into a reliable, CI/CD-integrated automated suite.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical and architectural skills with a quality-first mindset, thrives in agile environments, and takes genuine ownership of building automation from the ground up.
Experience
· Minimum 5+ years of professional experience in Software Quality Assurance.
· At least 3+ years of experience designing and building test automation frameworks, not just writing individual test scripts.
Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or a related field.
· Relevant QA certifications are desirable.
Key Responsibilities
· Own end-to-end design, architecture, and implementation of a test automation framework to systematically automate our current, largely manual Regression Testing Suite.
· Assess existing regression test cases and define a prioritized automation roadmap, converting manual test cases into reliable, maintainable automated scripts.
· Build a scalable, reusable automation framework (e.g.
Page Object Model, config-driven test data) integrated into our CI/CD pipeline for continuous execution.
· Identify, document, and track software defects through to resolution, and report automation coverage and progress to stakeholders.
· Collaborate closely with developers, and coordinate with the Australian team on automation strategy and priorities.
· Establish automation coding standards and best practices, mentor QA team members in building and maintaining automated tests, and participate in Agile ceremonies.
Required Skills
· Proven experience designing and building test automation frameworks from the ground up, not just writing individual test scripts.
· Strong hands-on expertise in at least one modern automation tool (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium), including Page Object Model design and reusable component architecture.
· Experience in API testing using Postman, REST Assured, or equivalent tools.
· Strong understanding of Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), SDLC, and knowledge of SQL and database testing.
· Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, and version control systems (Git).
· Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools such as Jira, TestRail, or Azure DevOps.
· Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to influence automation strategy across the team.
Preferred Skills
· Experience in Security Testing using tools such as OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, or equivalent.
· Experience in Performance Testing using JMeter, LoadRunner, or similar tools.
· Exposure to AI-assisted testing or AI Operations (AIOps) is highly desirable.
· Experience working in cloud-based environments AWS is an advantage.
