Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

Role Overview
We are looking for a versatile and security-conscious  Full-Stack QA Automation Engineer  to lead our end-to-end testing strategy. You will be responsible for ensuring the quality of both frontend and backend systems, utilizing a hybrid approach of  Selenium/ Playwright  for custom-coded frameworks and  Low-Code/No-Code  tools for rapid test expansion. Beyond functional correctness, you will integrate security parameters into the testing lifecycle to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End Automation & Framework Development
Selenium/ Playwright Mastery:  Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable automated test suites using Selenium Web Driver (Java/Python/C#).
Hybrid Strategy:  Implement and manage  Low-Code/No-Code  (LCNC) automation tools (e.g., Katalon, Testim, mabl, or ACCELQ) to accelerate test coverage for stable UI components and business workflows.
Full-Stack Testing:  Perform comprehensive testing across the stack, including UI validation, API/Microservices testing, and database integrity checks.

2. Security & Compliance Integration
Vulnerability Scanning:  Integrate automated security testing tools (DAST/SAST) into the CI/CD pipeline.
Parameter Testing:  Validate the application against the  OWASP Top 10  (SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, etc.) and ensure proper handling of authentication and authorization protocols.
Data Protection:  Verify encryption standards and data privacy compliance across all product layers.

3. CI/CD & Dev Sec Ops
Incorporate automated tests into Jenkins, Git Lab CI, or Git Hub Actions to enable "Shift-Left" testing.
Collaborate with Dev Ops to ensure environment stability and automated reporting of quality/security gates.

4. Strategy & Collaboration
Analyze complex business requirements to create end-to-end test plans.
Mentor junior QA members on best practices for both scripted and scriptless automation.
Partner with developers to perform root-cause analysis of defects and security flaws.
