Senior Test Automation Engineer, m/f/d

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

📋 Description

• Take ownership of and enhance the test automation framework (mainly .NET-based), ensuring it is scalable, maintainable, and easy for engineering teams to contribute to.

• Create and sustain automated tests across various layers (API, integration, end-to-end), placing a strong emphasis on API-first systems (driven by OpenAPI).

• Establish and uphold quality gates within CI/CD pipelines (using Azure DevOps), ensuring consistent and reliable release standards.

• Empower engineers to engage in automated testing by providing clear patterns, reusable components, and comprehensive guidelines.

• Utilize OpenTelemetry and Grafana LGTM to validate system behavior, enhance test observability, and identify quality issues in production-like environments.

• Collaborate closely with development teams working on Azure-based, Kubernetes (AKS), and GitOps-driven systems to ensure that testability and quality are integrated into the architecture.

• Continuously enhance test coverage, execution time, and signal quality, including integration with coverage tools.

• Investigate and implement new strategies to boost quality (e.g., contract testing, telemetry-driven validation, synthetic testing).

• Contribute to the test strategy for distributed systems, including multi-service SaaS environments.

• Review test implementations and offer guidance to maintain high standards throughout the codebase.
