Description
We are looking for a talented Automation Engineer (QE) with experience in automation to join our team that works to solve challenges for both the front-end and back-end architecture, ultimately delivering amazing experiences for pharmacy patients and prescribers.
As an Automation Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products through automated, manual testing and continuous improvement initiatives. You will work closely with our development teams to design, develop and execute automated test scripts, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to the overall quality assurance strategy.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain automation across UI (Selenium WebDriver), API (RestAssured), and integration/contract layers; structure suites for speed, stability, and readability.
- Start automation in parallel with development; balance exploratory and automated testing; raise risks early and minimize post-sprint carryover.
- Monitor service latency and throughput; optimize network bandwidth where tests surface bottlenecks; validate and enforce data encryption, access controls, and compliance standards (e.g., HIPAA).
- Embed automated checks (unit, API, UI, contract, smoke/perf) into CI/CD so builds give rapid, reliable feedback; keep suites deterministic and failure-diagnostic.
- Validate end-to-end data flows (MongoDB, Postgres, DB2); manage safe test data strategies; assert data integrity/consistency across services.
- Instrument tests with meaningful logs/metrics to accelerate failure triage; analyze defect clusters and flakiness to prevent recurrence.
- Contribute to go/no-go with evidence from automated runs, performance smoke, and critical path validations; support post-deploy checks.
- Maintain clear, auditable records of test plans, results, defects, and performance metrics; contribute to runbooks and quality dashboards.
- Coach junior QEs/testers on tooling, patterns, and test design; drive reuse of frameworks/components; promote best practices across teams.
Requirements:
- Proven 5-8 year experience in quality assurance and test automation for web/services.
- Proficiency in Java (preferred) and/or JavaScript for test and utility code.
- Hands-on with Selenium WebDriver and TestNG; build runners and utilities with Maven; IDE: IntelliJ IDEA.
- Strong experience automating REST APIs using RestAssured; functional, negative, and contract-style checks; Postman for quick validations when appropriate.
- Working knowledge of JMeter (or similar) for load/perf smoke integrated into pipelines; ability to interpret latency/throughput/error-rate trends.
- Familiarity with pipelines and tooling such as Jenkins (or GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps); capable of gating builds on test quality signals.
- Solid understanding of software lifecycle, Agile/Scrum, story refinement, and “shift-left” quality practices.
- Experience with Jira and Zephyr (or equivalent) for planning, traceability, and reporting.
- Practical experience validating data with MongoDB (NoSQL), Postgres, and DB2 (SQL); ability to write queries to set up/verify test scenarios.
- Proficient using AI-assisted quality engineering tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) to draft and refine test cases, Gherkin scenarios, and automation code.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities; clear written/verbal communication; strong collaboration across engineering, product, and business.
- Ability to work effectively across time zones to support onshore/offshore team members with responsiveness and reliability.
