The role

What a QA Automation Engineer does.

A QA Automation Engineer builds the safety net around your product. They design test strategies, automate the most important user flows and plug those tests into your release pipeline, so bugs are caught before customers find them. Teams usually bring one in when releases slow down because manual testing cannot keep up.

Typical responsibilities

  • Design test plans and strategies for new and existing features.
  • Automate end-to-end, API and regression tests.
  • Integrate test suites into the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Find, document and track bugs with clear reproduction steps.
  • Run performance and load tests on critical paths.
  • Keep test suites fast, stable and easy to maintain.
  • Work with developers to build quality into every sprint.
