Software Engineer

Role Summary

We are hiring a Software Development Engineer with strong backend or full-stack development skills who will focus on building and modernizing our test automation frameworks and infrastructure. This is not a QA or tester role. This is a software development position with a focus on tools and architecture that enable scalable, maintainable, and intelligent automation.

You will work closely with the Technical Test Manager and collaborate with QA and DevOps teams to rebuild our internal automation tooling from the ground up. You are expected to bring software engineering best practices to the automation space, including modular design, scalability, performance, and maintainability.

You are not required to have experience with automation testing, but you must be willing to undergo training in automation concepts and tools. Your primary responsibility is to treat test infrastructure like product code, with the same attention to structure, reusability, and technical rigor.

Key Responsibilities

Rebuild, extend, and maintain custom test automation frameworks used across web and API testing

Design and implement reusable libraries and components for use in test infrastructure

Work closely with the Technical Test Manager to align development with automation goals

Develop tools to improve automation execution, reliability, and reporting

Evaluate and integrate third-party solutions including AI-enhanced and low-code automation tools

Collaborate with DevOps to implement automation support into CI/CD pipelines

Participate in architectural discussions related to automation framework modernization

Key Deliverables

A modern, maintainable automation framework that supports web and API testing across 15+ eCommerce brands, replacing existing fragile or outdated systems.

Developer-grade libraries and tools to help QA teams easily create, execute, and maintain automated tests, reducing manual effort and technical barriers.

Fully integrated automation in CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous testing, early feedback, and reliable quality gates during releases.

Optimized test execution performance through test parallelization, containerization (e.g., Docker), and cloud/grid infrastructure (e.g., LambdaTest, BrowserStack).

Automated reporting and visibility tools that provide clear insights into test execution, failures, and coverage to support faster debugging and QA-developer collaboration.

Support for shift-left testing by enabling developers to write integration and API tests as part of the framework design.

Enablement of AI/low-code automation capabilities, either through integration or custom tooling, to support scalable, intelligent test creation and maintenance.
