Equivalent practical experience considered. ## Description The Testing & Automation Engineer designs, develops, and maintains automated test solutions that ensure the quality and reliability of software applications and services, operating as part of the enterprise-wide Testing function - a horizontal shared service supporting all product, platform, and engineering teams. This role increases functional test coverage through automation, reduces manual effort, and supports consistent, high-quality delivery across the software development lifecycle in accelerated, AI-assisted cycles. The Testing & Automation Engineer partners closely with Software Engineers, Product, and DevOps teams to embed quality early and continuously., * Design, develop, and maintain automated tests for UI, API, and backend services; execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end tests across applications and platforms, applying a test-pyramid approach that favors fast, reliable API/service-level automation. * Partner with Software Engineers and Product teams to define test scenarios and acceptance criteria; participate in sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives. * Maintain and enhance test-automation frameworks and tooling; build resilient, maintainable automation (e.g., attribute/accessibility-based locators) that survives UI and content change; integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) for continuous testing. * Identify, document, and track defects through resolution; perform root-cause analysis and partner with engineering teams on fixes. * Define and apply functional-quality release-readiness criteria; provide evidence-based quality signals and go/no-go input for releases, and report coverage and defect-escape measures. * Leverage AI-assisted tools across the test lifecycle (test-case generation, test-data creation, coverage analysis, defect detection); review and validate AI-generated tests, tag and report AI-generated test cases for transparency, and help define guardrails for safe, policy-compliant AI use. ## Related Videos - [No more Node: Build APIs with Flask and test it with Postman](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/563-no-more-node-build-apis-with-flask-and-test-it-with-postman) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Continuous testing - run automated tests for every change!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/190-continuous-testing-run-automated-tests-for-every-change) - [Build your backend using FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/506-build-your-backend-using-fastapi) - [Mobile vs. Backend DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1662-mobile-vs-backend-devops) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges)
