Position Description
Position Description
The Software Test Automation Engineer is responsible for driving the test automation efforts across a number of development teams.
You will fully own the creation and maintenance of a test automation framework and other automation tools. This is a 100% hands-on automation role. You will not be responsible for test execution. Your job is to enable the team to get more done through the effective use of automated tooling. You must have a strong ability to collaborate effectively across the organization.
You will be an expert in building web-based test automation frameworks with Selenium. But automation is about more than just test execution. You will also be capable of building a range of tools to enhance the development team’s capabilities to deliver better and faster, e.g. tools for loading test data, generating tests, simulators, probes, oracles, coverage analysis, and that’s just for starters. You will be comfortable with scripting languages, continuous integration, virtual environments, and moving between Linux, Mac, and Windows environments.
You will manage your own backlog of initiatives, working with the development teams to identify areas where you can make the biggest impact with automated tools.
