Quality Automation Engineer - IT Applications (Remote)

Summary

TPx is seeking a Quality Automation Engineer to support the reliability, performance, and security of its enterprise applications. The role designs and maintains automated testing frameworks, integrates quality gates into CI/CD pipelines, validates SaaS platforms such as ServiceNow and Salesforce, and collaborates with engineering teams on defect resolution and root-cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop automated test frameworks and code
• Designs, develops, and maintains automated test frameworks, libraries, and reusable components for UI, API, and integration testing
• Writes, reviews, and maintains test automation code using modern programming/scripting languages and testing frameworks (e.g., Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python; Selenium/Playwright/Cypress; REST/API test tooling)
• Establishes coding standards and patterns for automation (page object model or equivalent), and implements version-controlled test code practices
• Performs analysis of business and technical requirements and system design specifications to determine automated testing approaches and coverage
• Translates user stories, acceptance criteria, and interface specifications into automated test designs that validate functional behavior, data integrity, and security controls
• Integrates automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) and manages quality gates for build/release readiness
• Diagnoses and resolves test pipeline failures, test flakiness, environment issues, and test-data dependencies to ensure reliable automated validation at scale
• Builds and maintains automated regression suites and integration tests to validate enterprise workflows across ServiceNow, Salesforce, and connected systems
• Develops automated validation for data movement and transformations using SQL and/or API validation techniques
• Develops and maintains automated checks for role-based access controls, field-level security, data visibility rules, and authentication flows (OAuth/SAML/SSO), as applicable to the supported platforms
• Implements automated performance and reliability checks (where appropriate) and provides engineering recommendations to improve system performance and stability
• Produces high-quality defect reports with reproducible steps, logs, and automation evidence; partners with developers/architects to isolate root cause
• Uses engineering judgment to determine whether failures arise from defects in application code, test automation, environment configuration, or data
• Develops and maintains automation-friendly test environments, datasets, and configuration alignment practices in partnership with admins/dev teams
• Selects, configures, and maintains automation tooling and supporting infrastructure (e.g., test runners, reporting dashboards, secrets handling in pipelines)
• Establishes QA automation standards, templates, metrics, and reporting (e.g., coverage, pass rates, defect escape rate, pipeline stability) to support measurable quality outcomes
• Provides technical mentorship guidance to QA team members on automation coding practices, test design, and CI/CD integration
• Supports occasional exploratory/manual testing for high-risk releases or emergent issues; however, the role is fundamentally engineered around automation and tooling

Skills

• • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; or equivalent professional experience demonstrating software development competency
• • 3+ years of experience designing and developing automated test solutions in a software engineering or test automation engineering capacity
• • Demonstrated experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks and integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
• • Proficiency in at least one modern programming/scripting language used for automation (e.g., Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python) and strong command of test automation frameworks/tools (e.g., Playwright/Cypress/Selenium)
• • Experience with API testing (REST) and test data validation using SQL
• • Experience with source control (Git), code review workflows, and CI/CD pipeline concepts and tools (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps)
• • Familiarity with authentication and access-control concepts (OAuth, SAML, SSO) and ability to automate validation of security-related requirements
• • Strong systems analysis skills: ability to translate functional requirements and technical specifications into automated test designs
• • Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills across automation code, pipelines, and application behavior
• • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to partner effectively with engineering, product, and business stakeholders
• • Experience testing or integrating with ServiceNow and/or Salesforce (including configuration-driven workflows)
• • Experience with performance testing tools and practices
• • ISTQB or similar certification (helpful but not required)
