Description:

The QA Automation Engineer designs, develops, and maintains automated test solutions to ensure software quality and scalability. This hands-on role uses advanced frameworks and AI-powered tools—such as GitHub Copilot, Cursors, and GenAI—to accelerate scripting and improve test coverage. The engineer works closely with cross-functional teams, integrates automation into CI/CD pipelines, and leverages technologies like Playwright, dotenv, and Node.js for robust, scalable test automation.

Expectation:


Automation & AI Integration

• Develop and maintain automated test cases for web and API-based applications using tools such as Playwright, and AI-powered solutions (GitHub Copilot, Cursors, GenAI). Expedite test script creation and execution by leveraging AI and code-assist tools.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOp) for continuous testing and rapid feedback.
• Use dotenv for environmental-specific configuration management (API keys, endpoints, credentials).

Collaboration & Quality

• Work closely with developers, testers, and product teams to define automation strategies and high-value test scenarios.
• Contribute to Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, demos, retrospectives) and align QA efforts with DevOps goals.
• Log and track bugs using tools like Azure DevOps, assisting in root cause analysis and resolution.

Technical Skills:

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in QA Automation.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (C#, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript).
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, Cypress and Node.js for test automation
• Experience with AI-powered tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursors, GenAI) for code generation, test optimization, and intelligent test selection.
• Familiarity with dotenv for managing environment variables and configuration.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI).
• API automation expertise using Postman, RestAssured, or GraphQL.
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, Agile methodologies, and SDLC.
• Experience with version control systems (Git).
• Familiarity with SQL and database validation.
