About the role

As part of our Automation team, you will play a key role in building and evolving a robust automation infrastructure that supports complex, scalable products.

You will help shape automation architecture, tooling, and best practices, work closely with R&D teams in an Agile environment, and directly influence the quality, reliability, and scalability of our platform.

This role combines hands-on automation development with system-level thinking.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks and test infrastructure
• Write and maintain high-quality automated tests (API, integration, and UI)
• Educate and collaborate with R&D teams on testing strategies, quality practices, and automation approaches
• Shape automation architecture, design patterns, and development paradigms
• Work closely with R&D teams daily in an Agile environment
• Contribute to scalability, reliability, and quality improvements across the platform
• Take ownership of automation solutions, from concept to production usage

Must-have requirements

• 5+ years of experience in test automation
• Strong Python experience (at least 3 years) and experience with TypeScript/Playwright
• Experience testing API-first / backend-heavy systems
• Ability to design test infrastructure, not just write test cases
• Strong understanding of client–server architectures, microservices, and protocols
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines
• Strong motivation to automate everything

Big advantages

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (k8s) environments
• Experience or strong interest in GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD-style thinking)
• Exposure to cloud-native automation in production-like systems
• Experience with AWS cloud technologies or strong motivation to learn

You don’t need to be an expert in all the above — curiosity, ownership, and willingness to learn are key.

Nice to have

• Mobile automation experience
• Experience building automation frameworks from scratch
• Good understanding of automation project architecture and common design patterns
• Experience with performance or stress testing environments
