The opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Software Test Automation Engineer who is passionate about delivering high-quality software through automation-first and shift-left testing practices. In this hands-on role, you will design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation solutions across UI, API, and integration layers.

You will treat test automation as software engineering, driving quality early in the SDLC and enabling teams to deliver reliable, high-confidence releases through modern CI/CD pipelines. You will work closely with Engineering, QA, Product, and Dev Ops teams to embed quality at every stage, increase test automation ROI, and help shape the direction of automated testing practices.

How will you make an impact at Envision Pharma Group?

Role responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable test automation frameworks using Selenium and Playwright.
  • Build and execute UI, API, and integration automated tests aligned with the test pyramid.
  • Implement automation-first strategies to reduce manual regression and improve release confidence.
  • Apply shift-left testing practices by collaborating early with developers on requirements, design, and code reviews.
  • Create reusable automation components, utilities, and libraries with strong engineering standards.
  • Partner with Dev Ops to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Drive adoption of AI tools into automation frameworks, coding, and test management.
  • Establish metrics and dashboards to track test coverage, execution, and quality trends.
  • Support performance, security, and other non-functional testing initiatives.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and quality ownership.
  • Work with a globally distributed team to ensure project coverage, prioritization, and reporting.
  • Influence the direction of automated efforts, including scheduling, prioritization, and strategy.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Skills & expertise
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Extensive hands-on experience in coding for test automation in Agile environments.
  • Strong coding experience in Playwright and Selenium for framework design, development, and maintenance.
  • Experience with testing tools and frameworks such as Spock, Gherkin, and Geb.
  • Programming proficiency in Java, JavaScript, Groovy, XML, SQL, and database testing.
  • Experience with API testing tools like Postman and Swagger.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and Dev Ops tools (Jenkins, Bitbucket, Git Hub Actions, Docker, etc.).
  • Skilled at integrating AI tools (Co-pilot, Jira AI agents, Cursor, etc.) into test automation workflows.
  • Ability to work independently across multiple projects and meet deadlines.
  • Quick to grasp and apply complex business and technical concepts.
  • Innovative mindset with a focus on enhancing automation ROI and improving testing processes.
