JOB SUMMARY

The Test Automation Engineer is a detail-oriented team member who helps ensure the delivery of reliable, secure, accessible, and high-performing software products in a fast-moving AI-assisted engineering environment.

The Test Automation Engineer goes well above and beyond merely executing test cases at the end of the SDLC.

This position requires someone who understands that excellent software quality comes from:

• Human-driven investigative testing and risk analysis

• Reliable, maintainable, and scalable automation frameworks

• A fast feedback loop between developer and QA

The successful candidate will contribute to shift-left and shift-right quality strategies, CI/CD testing pipelines, production validation, and AI-enhanced testing practices while maintaining a strong focus on user experience, traceability, and documentation quality.
