Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Automated Testing Engineer to design, develop, and maintain test automation frameworks for both web and mobile applications. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in handling authentication and authorization workflows, file upload scenarios, and cross-platform automation. This role is hands-on and will directly contribute to ensuring the quality and reliability of our applications while integrating automation into our CI/CD pipelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement end-to-end test automation frameworks for web applications (Playwright/Cypress) and mobile applications (Appium/Detox).
- Develop and maintain automated tests for authentication, authorization, and role-based access control flows (SSO, MFA, OAuth2/OIDC).
- Automate file upload workflows, including large files, chunked uploads, and secure storage validations.
- Write and maintain API-level automation tests using Postman/Newman or REST Assured.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) with reporting, parallel execution, and artifact storage.
- Apply best practices in test architecture, data-driven testing, and test tagging (smoke, regression, etc.).
- Collaborate with developers, QA, and product teams to align test coverage with business priorities.
- Document test plans, strategies, and execution reports in Jira/Xray or TestRail. Investigate, debug, and fix flaky tests to maintain reliable pipelines.
- Provide regular test metrics and insights (coverage, pass rate, defect trends).
- Validate and test accounting-related workflows where applicable, ensuring accuracy in financial calculations, reports, and compliance.
Requirements
- 4–7 years of professional experience in test automation.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript.
- Proven hands-on experience with Playwright (preferred) or Cypress for web automation.
- Solid experience with Appium for iOS and Android mobile automation (Detox is a plus).
- Deep understanding of authentication & authorization flows (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT, MFA, HttpOnly cookies, CSRF).
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with mocking and stubbing services (MSW, WireMock).
- Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on scalability and maintainability of test frameworks.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills. Knowledge of Agile and Scrum practices.
- Background, coursework, or prior exposure to accounting systems testing (e.g., ledgers, invoices, reconciliations) is a strong plus.
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with Testcontainers and Docker for test environments. Familiarity with basic security testing tools (OWASP ZAP).
What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
- Establish a working automation framework for both web and mobile applications. Integrate smoke tests into the CI/CD pipeline with PR gating.
- Deliver automated coverage for authentication flows and file uploads. Ensure test results are tracked and reported in Jira/Xray or TestRail.
