Job Expectations:
- Lead and coordinate day-to-day activities for the Mexico-based SDET team, ensuring
alignment on deliverables and local operational needs.
- Coordinate with distributed teams across different time zones to ensure testing
strategies are synchronized and project goals are met.
- Analyze and architect technical test solutions for complex user stories, ensuring deep
coverage for integration points and distributed systems.
- Optimize and refactor existing automated regression suites to maximize reliability,
reduce execution time, and eliminate flakiness.
- Refine and extend existing automation frameworks, ensuring they remain modular,
scalable, and accessible for the wider engineering team.
- Directly expand API automation coverage, implementing robust validation for
microservices, data integrity, and cross-service communication.
- Perform deep-dive technical analysis to refactor automation code and keep it aligned
with evolving application architecture.
- Implement and maintain automated performance as integrated components of the
continuous delivery pipeline.
- Execute root cause analysis on complex defects, providing developers with detailed
technical insights and automated reproduction scripts.
- Drive technical gap analysis to identify untested code paths and proactively implement
solutions to improve overall system testability.
- Partner with Dev and Product to provide technical feedback on requirements, ensuring
acceptance criteria are precise and technically sound.
- Own the technical scaling of automation solutions, ensuring they support high-speed
execution across multiple environments.
- Provide technical expertise during sprint grooming and bug triage to ensure complex
defects are understood and prioritized correctly.
- Own and execute special technical projects, such as upgrading test infrastructure or
optimizing CI/CD workflows.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
- Deep understanding of modern software architecture, including microservices,
containerization (Docker), and cloud-native environments.
- High proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Python, Java,
TypeScript, or C#) with a focus on writing clean, scalable code.
- Advanced knowledge of industry-standard test design patterns and the ability to apply
them effectively to existing UI and API frameworks.
- Extensive experience with automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Appium,
Postman, or RestAssured.
- Solid experience in performance engineering using tools like k6, JMeter, or Locust to
identify system bottlenecks.
- Advanced proficiency with CI/CD orchestration tools (like Harness, BitBucket, or
Jenkins) to optimize automated release cycles.
- High comfort level with cloud-based testing infrastructure like SauceLabs, BrowserStack,
or AWS Device Farm.
- Strong technical analytical skills, the ability to interpret complex specs and discover edge
cases through deep exploration of software behaviors.
- Expert technical communication skills, with the ability to translate complex quality risks
into actionable engineering tasks.
- Proven leadership ability in managing day-to-day operations for local teams and
coordinating with distributed stakeholders while providing technical mentorship to
improve coding standards.
Experience Requirements:
- Generally eight (8) plus years of experience in Software Engineering and Test
Automation, with a proven track record of significantly improving existing automation
