WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US
We are looking for an experienced Lead Automation Test Engineer to join our Data Platform Teams in Noida, acting as the go-to quality and test automation expert across the platform. You will build and drive automated testing for UI, APIs, and data — including platforms such as Snowflake and SQL-based stores — and make testing a natural, built-in part of how we deliver, rather than an afterthought bolted on at the end. You will enable other engineers to test effectively, create transparency into quality and coverage across the data platform, and help embed testing into our CI/CD pipelines so issues are caught early and consistently. You will work in an agile environment, partnering closely with data engineers, while also being comfortable owning initiatives on your own.
WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
- Lead the design, build, and optimization of automated test suites across UI, API, and data layers, including data validation and reconciliation testing against Snowflake and other SQL-based platforms
- Define and drive the test automation strategy for the data platform, setting shared standards and best practices adopted across multiple teams
- Embed automated testing into CI/CD pipelines so quality gates run consistently as part of every build, release, and deployment
- Collaborate with the team and stakeholders to define testing requirements and ensure alignment with business
- Create transparency around test coverage, quality metrics, and known risks — through dashboards, reporting, and clear communication to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Enable and mentor other engineers to write and maintain their own automated tests, raising the overall quality bar across teams rather than being the sole tester
- Collaborate closely with developers, data engineers, and architects to identify testing gaps and design testable systems from the outset
- Troubleshoot test failures and flaky tests, and continuously improve the reliability and speed of automated test suites
