Test Automation - Senior Test Lead

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Test Automation as a Senior Test Lead to join our engineering team and lead the creation of a comprehensive automated testing framework from the ground up. This is a hands-on role where you will architect and implement test automation strategies across multiple applications and services, driving quality standards and ensuring robust end-to-end coverage.

You will play a key role in bridging existing gaps in test coverage, standardizing QA practices, and helping all application teams align on quality expectations. If you are passionate about building scalable testing solutions, improving reliability, and enabling continuous delivery — this is the opportunity for you.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience should have 7+ years to 10 years into Test Automation.
• 5+ years of experience in QA automation or software testing roles, with a focus on building frameworks from scratch.
• Strong programming skills in Java and/or .NET for building automated tests and tooling.
• Deep understanding of testing best practices, including unit, integration, API, UI, performance, and end-to-end testing.
• Proven experience with CI/CD pipelines, particularly GitHub Actions or similar tools.
• Hands-on experience with test automation libraries and tools such as:
• JUnit, Jest, Cypress, XUnit, Mockito
• Familiarity with source control and branching strategies using Git.
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams.
  
  

• Experience designing testing solutions for complex distributed systems or microservices architectures.
• Background in performance, load, or security testing tools.
• Exposure to AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for code generation or test automation.
• Familiarity with containerized testing environments (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
  
  

• Design and Implement a Test Automation Framework:
• Build a scalable, maintainable automated test suite from scratch to support functional, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Establish QA best practices, coding standards, and test automation guidelines for all engineering teams.
• Performance & Load Testing:
• Develop and execute performance, load, and stress testing strategies to ensure systems meet scalability and reliability goals.
• Establish performance benchmarks and integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines to identify regressions early.
• Analyze test results to pinpoint bottlenecks, memory leaks, and inefficiencies — and collaborate with engineering to resolve them.
• Test Coverage & Strategy:
• Audit current test coverage and identify gaps across existing systems.
• Develop strategies to significantly increase automation coverage for APIs, UI, backend services, and cross-service workflows.
• CI/CD Integration:
• Integrate automated tests into the existing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Git) to ensure continuous quality validation.
• Collaborate with DevOps to ensure tests are triggered automatically during builds, deployments, and releases.
• Collaboration & Enablement:
• Partner with development teams to embed testing early in the SDLC.
• Provide training, documentation, and mentoring to engineering teams to ensure consistent test practices.
• Tooling & Innovation:
• Leverage modern test automation tools and libraries (JUnit, Jest, Cypress, XUnit, Mockito) for different layers of the application.
• Utilize AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot to accelerate test generation and improve coverage efficiency.
