Senior Engineer, Test and Automation

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of and enhance our CI/CD pipelines by designing quality gates, testing stages, deployment checks, and failure alerts across GitHub Actions workflows within a large Nx monorepo.

• Establish and enforce pipeline standards, determining what runs on every PR, the criteria for merging, the conditions for deployment, and how test outcomes are communicated to engineers.

• Create and implement scalable test automation frameworks for integration and end-to-end testing of distributed systems that include Python/FastAPI backends, React/Remix frontends, PostgreSQL, and event-driven infrastructure on AWS and GCP.

• Increase automated test coverage throughout the testing pyramid, focusing particularly on integration and E2E layers that are the most challenging to maintain at speed.

• Collaborate with software engineers to integrate automated tests into their services and connect those tests to CI.

• Investigate flaky tests, sluggish pipelines, and production incidents to foster continuous enhancements in test coverage, pipeline reliability, and release confidence.

• Create and sustain test plans, quality metrics, and documentation that align teams on coverage expectations.

• Promote automated testing and continuous quality enhancement across the organization.

• Participate in on-call rotations to uphold strong operational standards.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 5 years of experience testing web-based applications in a professional engineering context.

• Proven hands-on management of CI/CD pipelines, showcasing not only usage but also design, maintenance, and improvement (GitHub Actions preferred).

• Strong software engineering foundation with expertise in Python and SQL; comfortable reading and contributing to TypeScript/React codebases.

• Experience in building and maintaining test automation frameworks across frontend, backend, and database layers.

• Familiarity with web automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, or BrowserStack.

• Comprehensive understanding of test pyramid strategy and its application within a rapid-release cycle.

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and independent execution abilities.

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Bonuses:

• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools, focusing on secure, scalable, and robust services. You utilize coding agents, LLM-driven code review, and AI-powered debugging to enhance speed and quality, and you have insights on their effective use.

• Experience with our technology stack: Python, FastAPI, React, Remix, PostgreSQL, Nx, AWS (including Lambda, S3, Aurora), GCP Pub/Sub, Prefect, and dbt.

• Familiarity with Nx's affected-graph model and efficient scoping of CI runs in a large monorepo.

• Experience with Playwright's component and E2E testing in a Remix or React application.

• Familiarity with pytest, pytest-asyncio, and database fixture patterns (utilizing real databases instead of mocks).

• Experience with mobile testing.
