Position Overview

We're looking for a senior test automation engineer who owns the automation architecture and the confidence the organisation places in it. You will decide what gets automated, keep the suites trustworthy, and make a red pipeline something people take seriously.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture of the automation framework across UI, API, and service layers.
  • Decide what is worth automating and what should stay manual or move to a lower test level.
  • Set reliability targets and enforce them, so a red pipeline always means a real problem.
  • Design the test data and environment strategy so runs are isolated and repeatable.
  • Own CI gating in GitHub Actions: what blocks a merge, what runs nightly, and why.
  • Build contract-level coverage between services so integration breaks surface early.
  • Mentor engineers writing test code and review it to production standards.
  • Report quality signal - trend, coverage, escape rate - in terms leadership can act on.

Skills & Qualifications

  • 5-7 years in test automation, including ownership of a framework used by a whole team.
  • Strong programming ability in TypeScript, Python, C#, or Java, with the design skills to match.
  • Deep experience with browser automation such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
  • Experience with API and contract testing across service boundaries.
  • Experience keeping large suites fast through parallelisation and selective execution.
  • A track record of eliminating flakiness rather than tolerating it.
  • Clear written communication; able to justify automation investment with evidence.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with mobile automation on Android and iOS.
  • Experience with performance or load testing at scale.
  • Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for ephemeral test environments.
  • Contributions to open-source testing tools.

What You'll Gain

  • Competitive salary.
  • Fully remote — work from wherever you're most productive.
  • Annual learning budget for books, courses, and conferences.
  • Top-tier hardware and software tooling.
  • Private health insurance and flexible time off.
