Senior QA Automation Engineer, Contract to Hire
We are seeking an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to help teams build, mature, and scale their automated testing capabilities. This is a highly collaborative, hands‑on role for someone who can not only develop automation solutions, but also establish best practices, mentor team members, and leave teams with a stronger testing capability than when they started.
The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who is comfortable working across multiple technology stacks and partnering with engineers, Business Analysts, and Agile teams to improve quality throughout the development lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
Assess existing QA processes and identify the best opportunities for test automation across applications and workflows.
Design, develop, and maintain automated tests using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and/or Postman.
Partner with engineers and BAs to develop test plans, scenarios, and effective automation strategies.
Build and organize QA tooling, test repositories, test‑case management structures, and testing processes.
Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, including GitHub Actions or similar tools.
Review automation scripts and provide guidance around quality, maintainability, and best practices.
Work across microservices, APIs, legacy applications, and AWS cloud environments.
Mentor and upskill engineers, BAs, and less‑experienced team members on testing fundamentals and automation practices.
Partner with QA leadership, Product Owners, Architects, Change Management, and Agile Release Train teams to establish consistent QA standards.
Help create sustainable testing practices that teams can successfully maintain and expand independently.
Required Qualifications
7+ years of QA automation engineering experience.
Hands‑on expertise with multiple automation tools, including Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and Postman, with the ability to quickly learn additional tools.
Experience with REST/SOAP API testing and automation.
Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions.
Ability to work across diverse environments including microservices, legacy systems, and AWS.
Experience developing automation frameworks, test strategies, and maintainable testing practices.
Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Demonstrated experience mentoring and upskilling others in testing and automation.
Ability to work independently, manage priorities within an Agile environment, and influence teams toward QA best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with qTest, Xray, Zephyr, or TestRail.
Experience with BDD, Cucumber, and Gherkin.
Familiarity with Karate or other API automation frameworks.
Experience working within Agile Release Trains (ARTs) / SAFe environments.
This role is ideal for a senior QA professional who enjoys building automation as much as building capability within a team—creating tools, practices, and knowledge that continue delivering value long after the initial implementation.
