The Test Automation Engineer Role

- Define test plans for you and the QA team to execute.
- Create automated tests.
- Maintain and expand the test automation framework.
- Work with the engineering team to report issues and perform analysis to help find a root cause.
- Communicate with the team on the project testing status.
- Review QA practices and implement continuous process improvement based on key metrics.
- Review the QA road map (adding projects as necessary) and prioritize projects.
- Work with QA engineers to implement QA best practices.
We’re looking for a teammate with:
- A bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related discipline.
- 3+ years in test automation.
- Knowledge of web applications, databases, and web APIs.
- Proficiency with SQL and at least one scripting language like python, ruby, or JavaScript – python preferred.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Linux experience is preferred.
