About Client Company

About Job

Looking for a SDET / QA Automation Engineer, who will work across a modern technology stack consisting of .NET services, Python AI services, and a Next.js frontend, with services communicating through HTTP APIs.

This is a hands-on engineering role, not a traditional QA position. You will write production-quality test code, own automated testing across service boundaries, build CI/CD quality gates, and ensure that changes are safe before reaching production.

Job Responsibilities

• Own the automated release gate in collaboration with Tech Lead and DevSecOps.
• Build and maintain automated test suites that run against staging before production releases.
• Ensure no production change is released without passing the required automated quality gates.
• Design and implement API contract tests across:
• .NET Python
• Backend Frontend
• Other service-to-service boundaries
• Implement consumer-driven and/or schema-based contract testing.
• Identify breaking changes in API response/request structures before they reach production.
• Develop scalable Playwright or Cypress automation suites.
• Build authentication, authorization and multi-tenant test fixtures.
• Ensure strong test isolation between different tenants.
• Develop role-based end-to-end testing for complete business workflows.
• Automate journeys involving multiple user roles, such as:
• Author and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines from scratch.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD and configure quality gates that can block merges/releases.
• Investigate silent failures where a successful HTTP response does not necessarily indicate a successful business outcome.

Must-Have Requirements

• Strong production-level TypeScript experience.
• Strong production-level C# experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright or Cypress.
• Experience building and maintaining large-scale automated test suites.
• Experience with authentication and authorization testing.
• Strong understanding of test isolation and test data management.
• Strong API testing experience.
• Experience with API contract testing using
• Understanding of consumer/provider contracts and API versioning.
• Ability to identify breaking API changes before deployment.
• Strong GitLab CI/CD experience.
• Experience authoring GitLab pipelines from scratch.
• Ability to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong focus on testing actual business outcomes rather than simply checking HTTP status codes.
• High proficiency in English.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
