Software Engineer

Job Purpose

To ensure the delivery of high-quality software by architecting and implementing robust, scalable automation frameworks from the ground up. This role involves executing manual and performance testing, and seamlessly integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines to facilitate efficient regression testing and accelerate release cycles.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Design and develop automation frameworks from scratch utilizing Selenium (Java) and Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript).
• Implement and manage Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for automated regression testing.
• Conduct thorough functional, regression, and end-to-end manual testing.
• Develop and execute automated test scripts for APIs.
• Perform performance and stress testing using JMeter.
• Create and maintain comprehensive automation execution reports and dashboards.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams within an Agile development environment.
• Actively participate in requirement analysis and contribute to test planning activities.
• Identify, log, and track software defects using established defect management tools.
• Ensure strict adherence to Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) processes.
• Explore and implement innovative AI-based testing solutions and tools.
• Continuously strive to enhance test coverage, framework efficiency, and execution speed.

Key Decisions and Dimensions

• Selection of appropriate automation tools, frameworks, and design patterns.
• Development of comprehensive test strategies for automation, manual, and performance testing.
• Defining the approach for CI/CD pipeline integration.
• Designing, prioritizing, and strategizing test case execution.
• Identifying specific areas that are best suited for automation versus manual testing.
• Establishing the performance testing approach and defining benchmarking criteria.

Major Challenges

• Successfully building and maintaining resilient automation frameworks from inception.
• Achieving efficient and seamless integration of automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Effectively managing complex end-to-end and cross-system testing scenarios.
• Ensuring test stability and minimizing the occurrence of flaky tests.
• Conducting performance testing for systems that require handling high loads.
• Adapting to evolving tools, technologies, and AI-driven testing methodologies.
• Coordinating effectively with multiple stakeholders, including Development, QA, and Product teams.
