Summary: This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working closely with development teams, writing automation code, improving testing frameworks, and contributing to scalable CI/CD environments. The team is looking for someone with a strong engineering mindset who is comfortable operating across both software development and quality engineering functions.

  • Participate in code reviews, merge reviews, and CI/CD integration activities
  • Maintain and enhance automation frameworks and reusable testing components
  • Support GitLab CI/CD pipeline maintenance and automation workflows
  • Contribute to cloud-based infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives using AWS and Terraform
  • Assist with updating AMIs, maintaining pipeline components, and improving deployment workflows
  • Troubleshoot automation, infrastructure, and testing issues across development environments
  • Utilize Linux and Bash scripting for automation and operational support activities
  • Support logging, troubleshooting, and operational analysis using Splunk and related monitoring tools

Requirements:

  • 5-7 years of experience in SDET, test automation, or software quality engineering
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python automation
  • Experience with API and UI automation testing
  • Familiarity with Postman and API validation workflows
  • Experience working in CI/CD environments using GitLab or similar platforms
  • Exposure to Terraform, AWS, and Infrastructure-as-Code concepts
  • Experience collaborating closely with software engineering teams
  • Comfortable participating in code reviews and contributing to development workflows
  • Experience working within Agile software development environments
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with Java and/or TypeScript
  • Exposure to Angular or lightweight UI development
  • Experience with Linux and Bash scripting
  • SQL knowledge or database testing experience
  • Experience with Splunk or log analysis platforms
  • Familiarity with PySpark or data-processing frameworks
  • Experience supporting enterprise-scale automation frameworks and cloud-native applications
Ideal Candidate:
  • Hands-on and technically curious
  • Strong communicator and collaborator
  • Comfortable working across development and testing functions
  • Growth-oriented with strong engineering fundamentals
  • Willing to remain deeply involved in automation and technical problem-solving

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs.
