QA Automation Engineer (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium)

Save job

This role offers you the opportunity to work on cutting-edge mobility solutions, driving digitisation and software excellence across global platforms. The company’s commitment to teamwork, learning, and continuous progress ensures you are always growing alongside talented colleagues. If you thrive in an agile tech culture where innovation and collaboration are at the heart of every project, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact.

What you'll do:

As a Quality Assurance Automation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of automotive software by leading sophisticated test automation initiatives. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to analyse requirements and define effective test strategies that ensure comprehensive coverage. You will design scalable automation frameworks tailored for both UI and API testing while integrating these solutions seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. By developing robust automated scripts for diverse testing needs—including functional, regression, integration, and performance—you will help validate system architecture and maintain product stability. Your keen attention to detail will drive defect management efforts as you work closely with developers to resolve issues efficiently. Establishing QA standards across projects will be central to your role as you champion best practices in automation. Continuous improvement is encouraged here; your insights into process enhancements will directly influence product quality while fostering a culture of shared learning within the team.

  • Lead end-to-end test automation activities from requirement analysis through deployment, ensuring high-quality software delivery aligned with engineering standards.
  • Work closely with Product Owners, developers, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, define comprehensive test strategies, and ensure thorough coverage.
  • Drive and implement scalable automation frameworks using shift-left principles for early defect detection and continuous testing throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Design, develop, and maintain robust UI/API automation frameworks that prioritise reusability, scalability, and maintainability for long-term success.
  • Ensure testing aligns with end-to-end system architecture by validating integration points, data flows, and overall system stability across multiple platforms.
  • Develop and execute automated test scripts for functional, regression, integration, and performance testing to guarantee product reliability.
  • Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to support seamless continuous integration and delivery processes within the organisation.
  • Identify, document, and track defects while collaborating closely with development teams to ensure timely resolution and root cause analysis.
  • Establish and enforce QA standards as well as automation best practices and coding guidelines across various projects for consistent quality assurance.
  • Drive improvements in testing processes, tools, and frameworks to enhance efficiency, coverage, and overall product quality through proactive feedback.

What you bring:

Your background as a Quality Assurance Automation Engineer should reflect deep experience in designing efficient test solutions using modern automation tools such as Selenium or Cypress. You bring proficiency in programming languages like Java or Python which enables you to build scalable frameworks tailored for both UI and API testing. Your familiarity with CI/CD tools ensures seamless integration of automated suites into development workflows while your expertise in API validation guarantees robust backend functionality. A strong grasp of software testing methodologies allows you to plan comprehensive strategies that address all aspects of quality assurance—from functional checks through performance assessments. Collaboration is key; your interpersonal skills enable effective communication with stakeholders ranging from developers to business owners. Experience within automotive or large-scale enterprise environments is highly valued but not essential; exposure to performance testing tools or mobile platforms further strengthens your profile. Above all else, your commitment to continuous improvement drives enhancements in processes that benefit both products and teams alike.

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related field is required for foundational technical knowledge.
  • Minimum 6 years of experience in QA or Automation Testing demonstrates proven expertise in quality assurance methodologies.
  • Strong experience with automation tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright or Appium enables efficient test execution across platforms.
  • Proficiency in programming languages including Java, Python or JavaScript supports framework development and script maintenance.
  • Experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks ensures scalable solutions for ongoing projects.
  • Comprehensive understanding of software testing methodologies (SDLC/STLC) underpins effective planning and execution of tests.
  • Experience with API testing tools like Postman or RestAssured allows thorough validation of backend services.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps facilitates smooth integration into development pipelines.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills foster positive relationships with stakeholders across departments.

What sets this company apart:

This organisation stands out by offering an inclusive workplace culture built on integrity, trust, transparency—and above all—a sense of togetherness. Employees enjoy flexible working opportunities that allow them to choose their preferred workspace without compromising productivity or connectivity. The company’s emphasis on communal learning means mistakes are viewed as stepping stones toward progress rather than setbacks; every team member is encouraged to share knowledge openly so everyone grows together.
