Full Description

We are seeking a hands-on Test Automation SDET to build, maintain, execute, and debug reliable UI automation using Selenium and/or Playwright, together with API automation for REST and SOAP services. The role requires strong manual testing and QA-process knowledge, practical ownership of automation development, and the ability to convert functional workflows into reusable automated coverage without over-relying on AI-generated tests or scripts. The engineer will collaborate with Manual QA, Product, Support, Services, and Test Automation teams to improve regression quality, stability, and execution efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, maintain, and execute reusable UI, API, functional, end-to-end, and regression automation. Create automation test cases from requirements, application workflows, and approved manual scenarios. Build and maintain Selenium WebDriver/Grid and/or Playwright automation assets. Develop BDD automation using Cucumber or Serenity with Gherkin, where applicable. Design, develop, and execute API automation for REST and SOAP services using JSON/XML request and response data. Maintain test suites, test data, selectors, execution configurations, and defect traceability. Investigate failures and flaky tests; isolate root causes across automation, application, data, and environment layers. Refactor automation to improve reuse, readability, maintainability, stability, and execution time. Integrate automation with build and CI/CD tools such as Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, or Ansible. Review requirements and manual scenarios for testability, completeness, and automation readiness. Contribute to framework improvements, regression optimization, release validation, and quality reporting. Mentor or technically guide a small automation team, where required.

Required Qualifications

6-12 years of test automation experience. Strong hands-on experience creating, enhancing, executing, and debugging automation-not only reviewing or generating scripts. Practical manual testing knowledge covering test design, test data, regression, defect lifecycle, and release validation. Strong experience with Selenium and/or Playwright for UI and end-to-end automation. Knowledge of XPath, CSS selectors, REST/SOAP, JSON, XML, and API testing. Experience with test-suite management, test-data management, Agile practices, and Jira or a similar defect-management tool. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

P&C insurance domain experience; Majesco P&C Suite experience is an advantage. Experience with TestNG, Cucumber, Serenity, Gherkin, Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, or Ansible. Experience leading or mentoring 2-3 automation testers.
