- 3+ years in software and/or test engineering with meaningful hands-on automation experience.
- Demonstrated experience with Selenium or a comparable E2E automation framework.
- Solid programming fundamentals in a modern language; C#/.NET experience strongly preferred.

- Relational database proficiency — MS SQL in particular.
- Proficiency with Git, pull request workflows, and Agile/Scrum practices.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style.
Responsibilities
- Test development: Maintain and extend the existing Selenium-based E2E automation suite; improve stability, coverage, and execution efficiency over time. Identify opportunities to introduce automation at additional layers — API, integration, or component — as the team's practices evolve.
- Observability for tests: Instrument logs/metrics/traces, define SLIs/SLOs, and build dashboards for build health and flake rates.
- Shift-left collaboration: Drive testability discussions with product and engineering; shape acceptance criteria, identify gaps early in design, and influence how features are built to support automated verification.
- Hands-on coding: Write clean, maintainable C#/.NET code in both product and test repositories; architect test harnesses, utilities, and shared libraries with longevity in mind.
- Test data: Define and implement test data strategies for the team — seeding, anonymization, and repeatable fixture management.
- CI/CD quality gates: Design and implement YAML-based pipeline stages in Azure DevOps; take ownership of quality gate configuration, artifact management, and test execution scheduling within the pipeline.
- Cloud & infrastructure: Develop working knowledge of AWS-hosted environments; take increasing ownership of environment configuration and infrastructure practices as the team scales its cloud footprint.
