Full description
We are looking for a Senior Java Test Automation Engineer with strong Generative AI (GenAI) expertise to drive the evolution of test automation through AI-powered solutions. In this role, you will combine advanced Java engineering and test automation skills with hands-on experience in LLMs, AI-assisted testing, and agentic workflows to improve test coverage, execution efficiency, and software quality.
You will design and enhance scalable automation frameworks, integrate AI capabilities into testing processes and CI/CD pipelines, and develop intelligent solutions for test generation, test data creation, failure analysis, and automation maintenance. You will also evaluate emerging AI technologies and collaborate with engineering teams to drive the adoption of AI across the software development lifecycle.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks using Java and industry-standard testing tools, ensuring reliability, maintainability, and high test coverage
Integrate Generative AI and LLM-based capabilities into test automation workflows to support test case generation, automation script development, test data synthesis, and intelligent defect analysis
Develop and integrate AI-powered agents, utilities, and APIs to automate testing activities, optimize regression testing, and streamline quality assurance processes
Apply software design patterns, clean code principles, reusable components, and robust architectural practices to build maintainable automation solutions
Integrate automated test suites and AI-powered testing capabilities into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous testing, intelligent test selection, automated failure analysis, and quality gates
Evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness of LLM-based testing solutions using appropriate evaluation methods, monitoring, and observability practices
Assess emerging GenAI models, AI coding assistants, and AI-driven testing tools; develop prototypes and recommend solutions based on technical feasibility and business value
Work closely with developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, and other stakeholders to promote engineering excellence and accelerate AI adoption across the SDLC
Present technical solutions and AI-driven automation prototypes, explaining their architecture, benefits, limitations, and implementation considerations
