Python Automation Engineer

Role

Our QA Engineers can understand software internals, debug problems using log files, and write automated tests and/or user-level test automation tools. They work with groups such as product owners, development teams, delivery support, and customer support to understand requirements and customer usage models and develop test suites that approximate real-world environments and regression tests. QA Engineers also drive the software development process toward quality-centric methodologies.

The core responsibilities will cover:

• Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and cases for manual and automated testing efforts.
• Contribute significantly to QA automation testing, including the creation, maintenance, and execution of automated test suites within CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrate strong proficiency in automating tests across various layers, including frontend, backend, and APIs.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to identify, document, prioritise, and track software defects through resolution.
• Utilise technical skills to investigate and troubleshoot test defects effectively, providing detailed insights to assist developers.
• Actively participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle.
• Work with cloud-based environments, ensuring testing strategies are adapted for such infrastructures (preferably AWS).
• Manage test cases and defects using tools like Xray and JIRA, ensuring a clear understanding of user story lifecycles and testing coverage.
• Foster strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, building rapport and facilitating effective communication.
• Champion quality assurance best practices and advocate for innovative ideas to enhance product quality, regardless of their origin.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 6+ years of total IT experience, with a strong background in test automation.
• 3+ years of hands-on coding experience in Python.
• Proven experience in automation testing using Playwright.
• Strong expertise in SQL and database validation.
• Good understanding of test frameworks, design patterns, and best practices in automation.
• Experience in the financial industry, with exposure to derivatives, prime brokerage, and margin/collateral management.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
