- Build and maintain robust UI automation using advanced XPath strategies
- Design and implement REST API automation suites (e.g. RestAssured) covering critical business logic
- Ensure framework stability, reusability, and long-term maintainability
Test Execution, CI/CD & Reporting
- Configure and manage test execution using TestNG (grouping, parallel execution, environments)
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using Maven
- Implement and maintain automation reporting solutions (e.g. Allure, ReportPortal)
- Provide clear insights on test results, trends, failures, and quality metrics
Technical Leadership & Mentorship
- Act as automation technical lead for the program
- Review automation code and enforce best practices
- Mentor and guide junior QA engineers on framework usage and automation strategy
- Contribute to internal documentation, standards, and technical knowledge sharing
Environment & Tooling Management
- Configure and maintain automation execution environments, primarily on Linux
- Troubleshoot automation issues across environments
- Create and maintain supporting scripts (e.g. Bash) for test execution and maintenance

Nice-to-Have
- Experience building automation frameworks from scratch
- Programming/scripting skills in Python, Go, or Groovy
- Experience integrating security or performance testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Previous experience leading automation strategy or managing a small QA team
Why Join Us
- Work on high-impact, enterprise-grade systems
- Strong technical ownership and influence on automation strategy
- Exposure to international projects and stakeholders
- Opportunity to help build and scale a high-performing offshore QA team
- Long-term vision, not just test execution
