Automation QA Engineer

We are looking for a skilled Automation QA Engineer who is passionate about building scalable, maintainable, and effective test automation solutions for sophisticated systems.

You’ll be responsible for creating test strategies, building frameworks, and ensuring system reliability through both functional and performance testing. The ideal candidate has solid experience in .NET-based testing tools, and any Java or frontend experience is a plus.

What You'll Do

• Test Automation Strategy & Engineering Perfection
• Design, implement, and maintain high-quality automated test solutions tailored for backend services.
• Build and extend automation frameworks and tools aligned with our architectural direction.
• Collaborate with architects and developers to evolve testing strategies and improve test asset scalability.
• Take part in test tool evaluations by defining requirements, spiking options, and documenting findings.
• Provide actionable feedback on framework improvements and system-wide quality enhancements. Knowledge Sharing & Continuous Improvement
• Advocate for test automation as a critical component of software delivery, championing a quality-first attitude.
• Facilitate constructive technical discussions through direct, trustworthy communication. Agile Delivery & Collaboration
• Actively participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Partner with developers, and product customers to ensure test coverage aligns with business requirements.
• Drive early engagement in the SDLC to prevent defects rather than just detect them. CI/CD & Tooling
• Integrate and maintain automated tests within GitLab CI pipelines for fast, reliable feedback.
• Support initiatives to modernize our test infrastructure and align automation with DevOps goals.
• Continuously improve the automation ecosystem for better observability, scalability, and performance

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience with .NET-based test automation, ideally using SpecFlow and/or Reqnroll
• (At least) basic JavaScript knowledge; experience with browser automation or performance testing is a strong plus
• Solid understanding of CI pipelines and how to integrate automated tests within them (e.g., GitLab CI)

• Note: We're not looking for DevOps engineers, but you should understand automation in CI/CD pipelines

• Experience designing effective test coverage strategies and selecting high-value test cases for automation
• Ability to build and maintain clean, reusable test code and tools
• Java background is a nice-to-have, not a must
• We're looking for someone who has experience building automation solutions, both for functional and performance testing

Bonus Points:

• Familiarity with performance monitoring or visualization tools like Grafana, Kibana, etc.

Desirable

• Familiarity with tools such as Selenium, Appium, or WebdriverIO.
• Experience with cloud platforms like Google Cloud or AWS.
• Background in the gambling or gaming industry.
• Working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.
