Senior Test Automation Engineer

Decision Lens is seeking a Sr. Test Automation Engineer. As a Senior Test Automation Engineer, you will report directly to the VP of Engineering, and will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of Decision Lens. You will design, develop, and maintain automated tests to validate the functionality, performance, and visual design of the Decision Lens web application. Manual “exploratory testing” and root cause analysis is part of the job, but that is secondary to building software that automates repetitive testing. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to identify testing requirements, implement effective test strategies, and drive continuous improvement in our testing framework, tooling, and processes.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain automated test scenarios (functional, visual, and performance measurement) in our automation framework (CucumberJS, Nightwatch, Selenium)
  • Respond to test failure reports and investigate regressions identified by our CI system (Bamboo, reporting results via Slack)
  • Experiment with and implement automation framework upgrades to support more productive test development, and more robust, scalable, and maintainable test suites
  • Collaborate with software developers, and product managers to understand requirements, define test cases, and ensure comprehensive test coverage.
  • Refactor and improve our framework code to make it more maintainable and reliable (we value automation code quality as highly as product code quality)
  • Mentor other team members, provide technical guidance, and contribute to knowledge sharing initiatives within the team.

  • 6+ years of experience building business software

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with appropriate attention to detail.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
  • Proactive mindset with a passion for quality and a drive for continuous improvement.
  • Home office with high-speed internet connection and good communication skills using video calls, screensharing, and collaboration platforms like Slack
  • Ability to travel occasionally.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience building business software
  • 5+ years of experience in full-stack web application test automation
  • 3+ years of experience building web-based user interfaces
