Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Associate – QA Automation with strong hands-on expertise in WebDriver IO (UI automation) and API testing (automation + validation), along with excellent analytical skills and leadership qualities. The ideal candidate is Agile-driven, proactive, and capable of independently owning test automation strategy and execution while mentoring team members and driving quality outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Automation & Quality Engineering

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable UI automation frameworks using WebdriverIO (TypeScript/JavaScript).
  • Build and execute API test automation suites for REST services using tools such as Postman/Newman, SuperTest, Rest Assured (if applicable), or similar frameworks.
  • Create robust test scripts covering functional, regression, smoke, and end-to-end scenarios across UI + APIs.
  • Implement automation best practices: stable locators, reusable utilities, reporting, parallel execution, retries, and CI/CD readiness.
  • Perform test result analysis, identify patterns in failures, and drive root cause analysis (RCA) to closure.

Test Strategy & Execution

  • Own and drive test planning, test case design, coverage analysis, and risk-based testing.
  • Ensure quality gates for releases: entry/exit criteria, defect triage, severity assessment, and release sign-off inputs.
  • Collaborate closely with product owners, developers, and DevOps to ensure early testing and shift-left quality.

Leadership & Mentoring

  • Act as a module/team quality lead, guiding junior engineers on automation, testing practices, and troubleshooting.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives: framework optimization, test coverage enhancement, and reduced execution time.
  • Participate in hiring/interviews, onboarding, and team capability building (as needed).

Agile Delivery

  • Work in Agile/Scrum teams and actively contribute to ceremonies: sprint planning, stand-ups, refinement, retrospectives.
  • Ensure test automation aligns with sprint goals and that quality is embedded throughout the SDLC.
  • Promote Agile quality mindset: Definition of Ready/Done, testability, and continuous delivery practices.

Must-Have Skills

  • Strong hands-on experience with WebdriverIO for UI automation (JavaScript/TypeScript).
  • Proven experience in API testing (manual + automation) for RESTful APIs including validations for status codes, headers, payloads, schemas.
  • Strong analytical skills: debugging, RCA, identifying test gaps, data analysis from reports/logs.
  • Solid understanding of test fundamentals: test design techniques, defect lifecycle, test reporting.
