About The Position

We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to join our engineering team as we are rebuilding a legacy system into a modern, scalable platform with a new UI, REST APIs, and cloud-native architecture. In this role, you will design and implement automation that validates new services replacing legacy components, ensuring seamless integration across API, UI, and database layers. This role is ideal for a highly motivated engineer who thrives in small, dynamic teams and takes ownership of problems—designing, developing, and executing QA automation solutions without waiting for step-by-step instructions. The successful candidate will be deeply experienced in Python-based automation frameworks, BDD-driven methodologies, and modern reporting tools like Allure. They will work closely with developers, product managers, and UX designers to ensure a seamless integration of UI and API quality practices in an agile, collaborative environment.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in QA automation across UI and API layers.
Strong proficiency in Python with experience in Pytest, BDD frameworks (e.g., Behave), and modern automation patterns.

Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum teams, using tools like JIRA and Confluence.
Proficiency with Git, pull request workflows, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or similar).

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain automated test systems for UI and API testing using Python (Playwright for UI automation, Pytest/BDD for API tests).
Collaborate with front-end engineers (React, Material UI) and backend teams to ensure cohesive end-to-end testing.
Write, execute, and automate test plans that cover REST API validation, database operations, and UI flows.
Participate in sprint planning, design reviews, and product discussions, advocating for testability and quality.
