Automation Test Engineer

About The Role We are looking for a highly skilled Automation Test Engineer with strong hands-on experience across multiple automation frameworks and tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Appium, WebdriverIO, and Cypress. The ideal candidate should also have expertise in API automation, spatial data testing (GIS systems), and performance testing using JMeter. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills to ensure high-quality delivery across complex web, mobile, and spatial applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust test automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium, Appium, Cypress, or WebdriverIO.
• Create, execute, and manage end-to-end test suites for web, mobile (iOS/Android), and API platforms.
• Develop API automation scripts using tools such as Postman, RestAssured, or Playwright API testing modules.
• Perform spatial/GIS-based testing, validating geometry accuracy, coordinate precision, map rendering, tile loading, and geospatial API behavior.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Bitrise, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or AWS CodePipeline).
• Conduct performance, load, and stress testing using JMeter or similar tools, and analyze system bottlenecks.
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to define acceptance criteria, identify edge cases, and maintain test coverage.
• Debug, troubleshoot, and provide detailed bug reports with reproducible steps and logs.
• Ensure all automation runs are tracked, monitored, and integrated with test management and reporting tools (e.g., Allure, TestRail, Zephyr).
• Participate in spatial data validation workflows, testing APIs and UIs that deal with maps, GeoJSON, and geospatial analytics.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with at least two automation tools:
• Solid programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Java.
• API testing expertise using Postman, RestAssured, or Playwright API modules.
• Experience with spatial/GIS testing (Mapbox, Cesium, MapTiler, OpenLayers, or Leaflet) including coordinate validations and spatial API checks.
• Knowledge of performance/load testing using JMeter or Locust.
• Experience in CI/CD environments and familiarity with tools like Bitrise, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
• Understanding of testing frameworks and patterns (BDD, Page Object Model, Data-driven testing).
• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) for distributed testing.
• Familiarity with mobile automation and real-device cloud services (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm).

Good to Have

• Knowledge of GIS databases (PostGIS, MongoDB with GeoJSON, or spatial APIs).
• Experience in testing AR/VR or 3D spatial experiences.
• Working knowledge of Dockerized test execution and Kubernetes environments.
• Experience in test strategy planning and automation coverage reporting.
• Familiarity with security testing basics for APIs and web apps.
