The engineer will build automation frameworks, execute multiple types of testing, integrate testing into continuous delivery pipelines, and collaborate with engineering, product, and design teams to improve software quality. A particularly important aspect of the role is using AI-assisted testing to accelerate test creation, optimize regression testing, improve defect analysis, and generate better quality insights. This role requires a 5-10 year Quality Engineer/SDET/Test Automation professional with deep automation-framework experience, Azure DevOps/CI/CD expertise, strong accessibility testing knowledge, and broad web/mobile/API testing experience. Candidates must have experience applying AI to software testing, rather than simply having general AI knowledge., * 5-10 years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or test automation * Strong experience with automated testing tools and frameworks * Experience with Azure DevOps, Git-based repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and test management tools * Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG, ADA, Section 508) and assistive technologies * Experience testing web, mobile, API, and enterprise applications * Experience incorporating AI into testing processes, including test generation, defect analysis, regression optimization, or automated reporting * Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills ## Description * Design and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites. * Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines. * Perform functional, regression, integration, accessibility, performance, and cross-browser testing. * Test web, mobile, API, CMS, and enterprise applications. * Apply AI-assisted testing for test generation, regression optimization, defect analysis, and reporting. * Collaborate with engineering, product, and design teams. * Continuously improve testing processes, tools, automation coverage, and quality practices. In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain automated testing solutions across web, mobile, API, CMS, and cloud-based platforms while partnering closely with engineering, product, and design system teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a quality engineering professional who is passionate about automation, accessibility, AI-driven testing innovation, and delivering exceptional digital experiences. The ideal candidate brings 5-10 years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, and CI/CD practices, with a strong foundation in accessibility testing and modern engineering tools. You will play a key role in building scalable automation frameworks, improving testing processes, and integrating AI-enabled capabilities to accelerate test creation, optimize regression testing, enhance defect analysis, and improve overall quality outcomes. What You'll Do * Design and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites * Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery * Execute functional, regression, integration, accessibility, performance, and cross-browser testing * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality releases * Leverage AI-assisted testing capabilities to improve efficiency, coverage, and quality insights * Drive continuous improvement of testing practices, tools, and processes ## Related Videos - [AI as a Test Designer: Transforming Experience into Automated Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1984-ai-as-a-test-designer-transforming-experience-into-automated-testing) - [How To Test A Ball of Mud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/173-how-to-test-a-ball-of-mud) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Self-service Quality: QA Without QA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100184-self-service-quality-qa-without-qa) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Integration And E2E Testing: Are They Complementary or Interchangeable?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/86-integration-and-e2e-testing-are-they-complementary-or-interchangeable) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
