About The Position

Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS) is seeking a Sr. Automation QA Engineer to develop and review automated solutions, deliver high-quality tests, and contribute code. The role involves creating and executing test plans, designing and implementing automation frameworks for multiple products. Responsibilities include designing maintainable and scalable test structures, collaborating with Product Managers and Engineers to define requirements and test plans, writing and executing Playwright-based functional tests for critical user scenarios, and developing tests for edge cases with a focus on ROI. The engineer will leverage AI-assisted tooling for test script creation, maintenance, and refactoring, and use AI to analyze test failures, suggest root causes, and recommend fixes. The role also involves applying MCP to connect Claude with requirements systems, defect trackers, and test execution logs for analysis, collaborating with the software development team on automation framework needs and recommending application improvements, and leading technical decisions on test automation architecture and framework direction.
