Software Test Engineer III - Automation Testing

Responsibilities :

• Validate complex system workflows across UI, API, and backend layers, ensuring correctness, reliability, and consistency of every release.

• Enhance and maintain the existing Playwright automation framework, expanding UI/API coverage and improving reliability, flakiness detection, and execution efficiency.

• Build internal QA tools, improve test data workflows, and contribute to CI/CD quality gates and overall pipeline readiness.

• Develop and maintain test infrastructure for containerized and distributed environments (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Conduct performance, load, and scalability testing for high-traffic services using k6 or similar tools.

• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, LeadGen, Payments, and design teams to embed quality early in the lifecycle.

• Analyze failures across distributed systems using observability platforms (logs, metrics, dashboards) to identify root causes quickly.

• Advocate for shift-left quality and influence system design and architecture for better testability.

• Maintain accurate documentation and onboarding materials for frameworks, tooling, and best practices.

Requirements :

• 4+ years of experience in software testing or automation for SaaS, web applications, or distributed systems.

• Expertise in enhancing and maintaining automation frameworks (Playwright or equivalent).

• Proficiency in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python for scalable automation development.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and containerized infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Working knowledge of AWS or GCP environments.

• Deep understanding of RESTful API testing, backend validation, mocks/stubs, and integration testing.

• Experience with performance and load testing tools like k6, Locust, or JMeter.

• Familiarity with observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, or OpenTelemetry.

• Strong debugging skills, especially in distributed and microservices-based architectures.

• E-Commerce domain experience (preferred but optional).

• Basic knowledge of AI-driven testing techniques or LLM-based test generation.

• Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving abilities.

Nice to Have :

• Experience validating E-Commerce flows such as checkout, order lifecycle, payments, taxes, pricing rules, and inventory synchronisation.

• Experience analysing and testing AI/LLM-powered features, including prompt validation, hallucination detection, model consistency checks, and AI-assisted testing workflows.
