Software Automation Engineer III

Advisor360° • Needham, MA

5h • Hybrid

About The Position

Advisor360° is hiring a Software Automation Engineer III to build and test shared services and tools, drive operational excellence, and automate systems in our hybrid-cloud environment. This role requires balancing tactical automation solutions with strategic implementation, from developing scripts to resolve customer-impacting issues to creating sustainable automation frameworks for long-term initiatives. Treat AI as a first-class engineering tool — accelerate our delivery timelines, surface edge cases earlier, and raise the quality bar beyond what traditional approaches alone can achieve. Finding bugs is cool, but you know what’s cooler? Preventing them in the first place. Use AI to accelerate the translation of requirements into test strategies — turning documentation into actionable, high-coverage test plans. Champion and evolve our quality engineering culture by establishing AI-forward best practices — from AI-assisted test generation and triage to intelligent coverage analysis — setting the standard for how the team works smarter, not just harder. Assist in manual testing where applicable. We employ an automation first strategy, but manual testing is an important tool in our toolbox. Design and develop automated tests in collaboration with engineers to ensure software quality and efficiency. Engage in software release activities when required.

• 5+ years of software quality assurance experience.

• A demonstrated habit of reaching for AI tools first — Claude, Augment, and others — to write better code faster, reduce rework, and continuously discover smarter approaches to quality challenges
• Understanding of code architecture best practices such as reusability, maintainability, scalability, and abstraction.
• Experience and understanding of source control (BitBucket/GitHub) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Github Actions).
