About The Position

Hard Rock Digital is seeking a Senior Salesforce Test Automation Engineer to lead quality engineering for their Salesforce platform. This is a hands-on technical role focused on designing and building automation frameworks, collaborating with developers, and establishing quality standards for a platform supporting customer-facing operations in iGaming markets. The role involves working within an Agile, Kanban-driven team across various Salesforce clouds (Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Data Cloud, Agentforce) and integrating with third-party systems like Snowflake, Confluent Kafka, and identity/payments vendors. The ideal candidate will have a systems-thinking approach, write production-quality automation code, and prioritize testability as a core engineering principle.

Requirements

5+ years of QA/test engineering experience, with a significant portion focused on Salesforce platforms in production environments.
Deep Salesforce platform knowledge, including hands-on experience testing Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Apex triggers and classes, Visualforce pages, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and platform events.
Strong automation engineering skills, with the ability to write clean, maintainable test code.
Proficiency in Python.
CI/CD fluency, comfortable integrating automated tests into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or ArgoCD-based pipelines.
Integration testing experience, including designing and executing tests across REST/SOAP APIs, event-driven architectures (Kafka/Confluent), and data pipelines (Snowflake or similar warehouses).
Jira proficiency, including experience in defect lifecycle management and working within structured Agile/Kanban workflows.
Strong analytical instincts and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into rigorous, actionable test strategies.
Clear, direct communication skills, able to articulate risk, coverage gaps, and quality decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaborative nature, comfortable working across development, product, and platform teams.

Validate data integrity across the platform, including Salesforce records, reports, dashboards, Data Cloud pipelines, and integration payloads.
Log, triage, and track defects in Jira, providing clear reproduction steps and collaborating with developers on resolution.
Define and maintain test documentation standards (test plans, test cases, automation scripts, coverage matrices, results reports).
Mentor and guide junior QA contributors and developers on automation best practices and test design patterns.
Stay current with Salesforce releases, evaluate new features and deprecations for test impact, and recommend improvements.
