About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer to own automation strategy and delivery
for a large-scale, multi-platform commerce and payments ecosystem spanning mobile apps,
web dashboards, and custom point-of-sale (POS) hardware. This role goes well beyond writing
scripts: you will architect resilient frameworks, embed quality into fast biweekly release trains
(Master / Convergence / Release builds), and apply AI and LLM-based tooling to generate,
self-heal, and triage tests at scale. You'll work hands-on daily while raising the automation bar
across squads.
What You'll Do
- Architect frameworks: Design, build, and maintain scalable UI, API, and end-to-end automation across web, iOS, Android, and hardware/POS devices.
- Own the pipeline: Author and stabilize suites in CI/CD (Buildkite / Jenkins / GitHub Actions), manage sharding, parallel execution, and pipeline reliability to cut feedback time from hours to minutes.
- Kill flakiness: Investigate failures, refactor toward page objects, and implement self-healing and AI-assisted auto-triage to reduce maintenance load.
- Apply AI to testing: Use LLM tooling (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate test authoring, generate edge-case/negative scenarios, produce synthetic test data, and convert manual test cases into automated flows.
- Drive coverage: Own regression, smoke, convergence, compatibility, and production-verification testing across a continuous release cadence.
- Shift left & lead: Partner with developers, DevOps, and product to define test strategy, standards, and coverage metrics, mentor mid-level QA engineers.
Must-Have Qualifications
- 7–10 years in QA / test automation, including 3+ years in a senior or lead capacity.
- Strong programming in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript (Java a plus) with solid
Testing fundamentals.-
- Deep hands-on experience with modern frameworks - Playwright and/or Cypress (web), Appium (mobile), Selenium.
- API and contract testing (Postman, REST Assured, Pact / GraphQL).
- Proven CI/CD engineering - Buildkite / Jenkins / GitHub Actions, Git, Docker, parallelization and flaky-test stabilization.
- Test management and defect tracking with TestRail and Jira / Linear.
- Demonstrated track record architecting frameworks from scratch, reducing flakiness, and scaling coverage across platforms.
AI-Side Expectations (Key Differentiator)
- Hands-on with AI-assisted testing: LLM-driven test generation, self-healing selectors, and AI triage/investigation agents.
- Practical prompt & context engineering - decomposition patterns and supplying architecture/context so AI output is production-grade, not a "flawed intern.
Nice to Have
- Cross-platform testing on custom hardware / embedded POS devices, device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs).
- Fintech, payments, or retail/restaurant POS domain experience, high-frequency release-train environments.
