Feature Awareness:
Maintain deep knowledge of upcoming features and new development work, allowing you to proactively design and prepare the necessary testing infrastructure.

Test Implementation & Management:
Manage the backlog of integration tests to be implemented and be a hands-on contributor, writing, running, and debugging test cases.

You will also oversee the delivery of the testing framework for use by other team members, including manual testers.

  • 5+ years of proven experience in designing and implementing automated integration testing frameworks.
  • 5+ years of professional experience and expert-level proficiency in Python 1-2 years of working knowledge of C++

    Experience with GUI test automation frameworks (e.g., Qt Test, Squish, Selenium, Playwright).

    A proactive and self-starting attitude, with a demonstrated ability to take ownership, drive tasks to completion, and make things happen with minimal supervision.

    Experience with testing methodologies, tools, and best practices.

    Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions.

    Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

    Experience with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
