Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a dedicated SDET or Software Automation role.
  
• Advanced proficiency in Java and JavaScript, with working knowledge of C# and Groovy.
  
• Hands-on experience with web and mobile automation tools including:
  
• Selenium
  
• Playwright
  
• Cypress
  
• Appium
  
• Strong experience with API and data testing, including making API/HTTP requests using:
  
• Rest Assured
  
• Axios
  
• Jest
  
• OkHttp
  
• Apache HttpClient
  
• Experience managing database connections using HikariCP or JDBC.
  
• Proficiency in automation framework design patterns, particularly:
  
• Keyword-Driven Testing
  
• Page Object Model (POM)
  

• Test Architecture & Frameworks: Design, build, and scale robust, maintainable test automation frameworks from the ground up for our backend microservices (APIs), web platforms, and mobile applications (iOS and Android).
  
• Comprehensive Automation: Drive functional, integration, and end-to-end automation testing. Write clean, high-quality code (e.g., in Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript/TypeScript) to automate complex financial user journeys.
  
• Pipeline Integration (CI/CD): Embed continuous testing into our DevOps pipelines. Ensure that every code commit is rigorously and automatically tested for functionality and stability before reaching production.
  
• Performance & Security Testing: Design and execute automated performance, load, and security tests to proactively identify bottlenecks and vulnerabilities, ensuring our systems can handle massive transaction volumes securely.
  
• Shift-Left Quality & Collaboration: Partner closely with software engineers, product managers, and QA analysts during the design phase. Define testability requirements and ensure quality is built-in from day one rather than tested-in later.
  
• Defect Triage & Root Cause Analysis: Investigate complex issues, debug code, and work alongside developers to trace defects down to the root cause, implementing preventative automation to stop regressions.
  
• Mentorship & Best Practices: Continuously evaluate modern testing tools and methodologies (e.g., Appium, Playwright, JMeter, Axios/RestAssured, MySql). Mentor junior team members and cultivate a culture where quality is a shared engineering responsibility.
