• Develop automated tests using technologies such as Selenium, Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, JUnit, and TestNG.
• Build automated testing for web applications, REST APIs, backend services, databases, and system integrations.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide rapid feedback and identify defects earlier in the software development lifecycle.
• Partner with Software Engineers to improve application testability, observability, reliability, and automation coverage.
• Review application architecture and technical requirements to identify appropriate test approaches, integration points, dependencies, and potential quality risks.
• Develop test utilities for test-data creation, environment validation, API testing, database validation, service virtualization, and automated regression testing.
• Perform technical analysis and troubleshooting of complex defects across UI, API, application, integration, and database layers.
• Analyze automated test failures, application logs, API responses, database results, and system behavior to identify root causes.
• Improve automation reliability by identifying and eliminating flaky tests, unstable dependencies, inefficient test execution, and framework limitations.
• Establish technical standards for automation architecture, coding practices, test design, code reviews, and framework maintainability.
• Measure and improve automation coverage, regression execution time, defect detection, test reliability, and overall quality engineering effectiveness.
• Evaluate and implement new testing tools and technologies that improve engineering productivity and software quality.
• Contribute to performance, security, accessibility, and reliability testing as appropriate for application architecture.
• Participate in Agile development activities including technical design reviews, backlog refinement, sprint planning, code reviews, defect triage, and release-readiness validation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in software development, test automation, SDET, or quality engineering.

• Strong hands-on experience with test automation technologies such as Selenium WebDriver, JUnit, TestNG, or comparable frameworks.
• < /span>Experience designing and developing automation frameworks from the ground up, including reusable libraries, reporting, test-data management, and configuration management.
• Strong experience with REST API testing, including request/response validation, authentication, authorization, error handling, and integration testing.
• Experience performing SQL and database validation and troubleshooting data across application, API, and database layers.
• Experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD pipelines and source-control platforms.
• Understanding of modern software architectures, including web applications, RESTful services, microservices, databases, cloud services, and distributed integrations.
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, including object-oriented programming, design patterns, source control, code reviews, and coding standards.
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum software development environments.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with Software Engineers, DevOps, Architecture, Product, and other technical teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or comparable CI/CD platforms.
• Experience testing applications built with .NET, React.js, Java, or similar modern technology stacks.
• Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms, including testing cloud-hosted applications and services.
• Experience with Azure Blob Storage, SQL Server, Salesforce, and enterprise system integrations.
• Experience with performance and load-testing technologies such as JMeter, LoadRunner, or similar tools.
• Familiarity with containerized and distributed environments using technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
