Role Overview

We are hiring a hands-on Automation Engineer (3–5 years) to build and scale production-grade test automation frameworks for enterprise mortgage platforms.

This role is not execution-only QA—it requires engineering depth, framework ownership, and system-level thinking. You will design and drive automation architecture across UI, API, and service layers, ensuring reliability of high-volume, workflow-driven financial systems.

You will work closely with engineering teams to enable shift-left quality, continuous testing, and production stability in a cloud-native, microservices environment.

🔹 Key Responsibilities

Working knowledge of Playwright CLI/MCP and a foundational understanding of how AI/LLM models work, to effectively use AI-assisted automation tooling.
Own and build scalable automation frameworks using Playwright + TypeScript/JavaScript for UI and API layers
Design modular, reusable, and maintainable automation architecture (POM, fixtures, service abstractions, utilities)
Automate complex, real-world workflows across mortgage lifecycle:
Customer onboarding
Document ingestion & validation
Underwriting decision flows
Loan lifecycle events
Drive automation-first engineering practices:
Define coding standards, framework design patterns
Ensure testability during feature design
Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines:
Enable continuous testing and fast feedback loops
Ensure stable regression execution in pipelines

Build and maintain:
UI regression suites
API automation suites
Integration/E2E test coverage
Improve test reliability and execution performance:
Parallel execution
Flaky test reduction
Smart test selection strategies
Perform deep defect analysis:
Root cause identification
Validate fixes at system level
Collaborate with:
Backend engineers → API testability
Frontend teams → UI stability
Product teams → acceptance criteria clarity
Mentor junior engineers and drive shift-left quality culture
