[Hiring] Senior QA Automation Engineer @CodeRoad

Role Description

Architect and scale robust test automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API-driven distributed architectures using modern tools such as Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium.

• Integrate automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), driving early feedback loops and shift-left testing practices across cross-functional squads.
• Drive end-to-end quality strategy and test coverage by designing detailed, risk-based test plans that validate functional correctness, microservices communication, system resilience, and edge cases.
• Lead performance and API validation initiatives, executing robust contract, load, and stress testing with tools such as Postman, REST Assured, k6, or JMeter.
• Champion defect prevention and engineering excellence, partnering closely with product managers and software engineers to refine user stories, define acceptance criteria, and eliminate root causes.
• Mentor and elevate quality standards, guiding mid-level engineers in automation best practices, clean code principles, and exploratory testing methodologies.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software quality engineering experience, with a proven track record of architecting, implementing, and maintaining automated testing suites in agile environments.
• Advanced proficiency in modern test automation stacks, including hands-on expertise with JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Java alongside frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or Appium.
• Deep expertise in API and backend testing, proficient in validating RESTful and GraphQL endpoints, contract testing, and analyzing asynchronous message queues or databases (SQL/NoSQL).
• Strong foundation in DevOps and CI/CD practices, comfortable managing pipeline test execution, containerized test runners (Docker), and cloud test environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• High ownership and proactive problem-solving mindset, capable of independently managing quality lifecycles, identifying architectural bottlenecks, and navigating ambiguous technical challenges.
• Exceptional professional English communication skills (C1/advanced), with the ability to articulate technical tradeoffs, collaborate directly with North American stakeholders, and advocate for quality standards.
