Job Description
Our team is tasked with overseeing the Test Automation frameworks and infrastructure, which includes the creation and upkeep of our tools and processes. We provide support to Product Engineering Teams in their Test Automation endeavors, assisting them in ensuring rapid delivery of high-quality products. We also collaborate on proofs of concept with teams, empowering them to make informed decisions about their own coverage and implementation.
Test automation can pose challenges, and we are seeking someone who can effectively support both testers and developers. You will collaborate closely with platform architects to ensure that new tools and technologies are testable, and that automation is feasible and relevant. Your activities will be centered on influencing, supporting, training, and encouraging engineers to confidently apply automation strategies within their teams. It’s important to note that you will not be directly responsible for writing automated tests or tests for other teams.

The following is an indication of the level at which a successful applicant will be expected to act after an initial adjustment period:

• Driving Change - We spearhead the necessary changes in processes, tools, systems, attitudes, formats, goals, relationships, structures, and more.

At a senior level, a Test Engineer stays updated with industry trends, influences their colleagues, comprehends business elements, uses learning opportunities as teaching moments, leads team initiatives, and understands their team’s impact on the organization.

• Mentoring Internally and Externally - We foster growth and success in each other by teaching and guiding not just our team members, but members of other teams as well.

A Senior Test Engineer can simplify complex issues, contributes to training sessions, coaches other engineers to enhance their skills, engages in productive dialogue, influences others in their job functions, exhibits self-awareness, coaches and reviews the work of junior professionals, and begins to broaden their impact on the organization.

• Technical Ability - We utilize our skills with tools and code to create tests and frameworks that are fit-for-purpose, adhere to industry best practices, and are reliable and efficient.

A Senior Test Engineer applies technical knowledge from various industries, contributes to the fundamental good of their domain, excels at troubleshooting, stays updated with the broader engineering community, and possesses proficiency in all relevant technical skills.

• Commitment to Quality - We leverage our QA backgrounds to emphasize the necessity for high-standard work that can withstand the test of time and deliver optimal results.

A Senior Test Engineer consistently advocates for quality, proposes solutions to team-impacting problems, seeks guidance when required, and makes well-informed design decisions.

• Product Knowledge - We comprehend our product, its usage by our customers, and upcoming changes to design our tests and tools for enhancing user experience.

A Senior Test Engineer has a basic understanding of competitor products, our product, and its architecture, and possesses in-depth knowledge of certain areas of our product they have worked on.

• Independence - We operate autonomously, effectively solving complex problems in professional ways, initiating collaboration and communication as necessary without excessive oversight.

A Senior Test Engineer provides visibility and advice based on their work, requires minimal direction or supervision, effectively handles ambiguous problems, is trusted to fulfil their commitments, and works on moderately complex problems with limited supervision.
