Mandatory Skills -

•Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

•3–6 years of experience in software quality engineering or test automation

•Strong programming skills in JavaScript or TypeScript

•Experience building automated tests for backend APIs and services

•Experience with frontend test automation for modern web applications

•Familiarity with Git‑based version control and CI/CD workflows

•Ability to collaborate closely with software engineers in agile teams

Preferred Qualifications

•Experience with Vitest, Jest, or similar JavaScript testing frameworks

•Experience testing applications built with NestJS, Express.js, and React

•Hands‑on experience with Playwright for end‑to‑end UI testing

•Experience with API testing, contract testing, and service‑level validation

•Familiarity with Storybook and component‑level testing strategies

•Experience testing applications integrated with AWS services

•Exposure to performance, resiliency, or reliability testing

•Understanding of test automation patterns, mocks, and test isolation

•Familiarity with CI/CD platforms and test execution at scale

•Exposure to BDD or test management tools (e.g., Gherkin, Xray) is a plus, but not required

As a QE Automation Engineer, you will:

•Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites across multiple layers of the application stack

•Partner with application engineers to embed testing into feature development and CI/CD pipelines

•Develop and maintain unit, integration, API, and end‑to‑end tests

•Build resiliency and non‑functional tests focused on stability, reliability, and failure scenarios

•Create test harnesses, mocks, and test data strategies to support reliable automation

•Implement end‑to‑end testing for frontend applications using tools such as Playwright

•Develop API and service‑level tests for backend systems built with Express.js and/or NestJS

•Contribute to test strategies for cloud‑integrated systems and AWS‑based services

•Help define quality gates and automation standards within the build and deployment pipeline

•Diagnose test failures and collaborate with engineers to resolve root causes

•Continuously improve test coverage, execution speed, and signal quality

This role is an individual contributor position embedded within application teams, with strong influence on engineering quality practices
