Test Automation Engineer

We are hiring a Test Automation Engineer to own the quality signal that protects our product as we ship. You will build and run the automation that catches defects early, keep staging trustworthy, and turn quality into measurable outcomes. This is a hands-on ownership role: you own the framework, suites, standards, and feedback loop, and you keep staging stable so that automation results can be trusted to gate production deployment. You will work across Go services and TypeScript UIs, in Azure and AWS, with a bias toward clear metrics and enforceable standards.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Automation framework and suites:

• Own the test automation framework and enforce coding, structure, and review standards across the team.
• Own the content, stability, and efficacy of automation suites- tests that are reliable, maintainable, and worth running.
• Own automation development, orchestration, and results feedback so failures are visible, actionable, and routed to the right owners.

Staging environment:

• Own stability and maintenance of the staging environment used for automated and pre-release validation.
• Own cleanup and hygiene of staging: stale data, orphaned resources, drift, and anything that makes results noisy or untrustworthy.

Quality standards and metrics:

• Enforce test and coverage standards as part of the delivery path.
• Implement and track quality metrics, including defect MTTR, escaped defects, test execution time, and related signals that show whether quality is improving.

Stack and Environment:

• Backend: Golang services.
• Frontend: TypeScript user interfaces.
• Cloud: Experience operating in both Azure and AWS.

Expectations:

• Suites are stable, fast enough to trust, and catching the right classes of defects.
• Staging is clean, available, and a reliable place to validate releases.
• Coverage and test standards are clear, enforced, and not optional.
• Quality metrics are tracked, visible, and used to drive improvement, not vanity dashboards.

Requirements:

• Proven experience building and operating test automation at scale: development, orchestration, and results/feedback management.
• Ownership mindset for frameworks and standards, not just writing individual tests.
• Comfort validating Go APIs/services and TypeScript frontends.
• Experience keeping a staging (or equivalent) environment healthy for automation
• Familiarity with quality metrics and using them to reduce escapes and shorten defect cycle time.
• Hands-on experience in Azure and AWS.
• Clear communicator who can raise the quality bar without blocking delivery.

Nice to Have:

• Background in cybersecurity, security products, or high-trust environments.
• CI/CD integration (e. g., GitHub Actions), flaky-test management, and parallelisation strategies.
• API, UI, and contract/e2e testing across microservices.
• Observability-driven debugging of test and environment failures.
• Infrastructure-as-code familiarity when staging issues are environment-rooted.
