QA Automation Architect / Automation Framework Engineer

Role Summary

We seek an architect-level Automation Framework Engineer to design, build, and scale enterprise automation frameworks across UI, API, document, and integration-heavy workflows. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience designing frameworks for scale, security, and long-term stability as applications, teams, and delivery pipelines evolve. This role includes AI-assisted QA initiatives using Azure OpenAI, Claude, and Azure DevOps integrations.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable UI automation frameworks using Playwright and Selenium
• Design frameworks supporting multiple teams, applications, environments, and CI/CD pipelines
• Build reusable API and integration testing components (Postman, GraphQL, PactumJS, REST clients)
• Support document-heavy and compliance-driven workflows (disclosure validation, OCR, document intelligence)
• Implement automation observability: logging, diagnostics, flaky test detection, and trend reporting
• Support AI-assisted automation: test generation, regression optimization, and failure triage

Required Experience

• Deep hands-on experience building and maintaining enterprise automation frameworks
• Advanced coding in TypeScript, JavaScript, or C#
• Strong experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar frameworks
• Demonstrated CI/CD expertise, preferably with Azure DevOps
• Ability to provide real-world examples of framework design decisions and tradeoffs

Core Evaluation Areas

Scale

Candidates must explain how they designed automation frameworks that scaled across teams, applications, and environments. Examples may include scaling test execution across CI/CD pipelines, supporting multiple products from one framework, designing reusable components, and managing test data and environment configuration.

Security

Describe security practices when building frameworks: secure credential management, avoiding hardcoded secrets, role-based access, secure test data handling, pipeline security, and protection of sensitive data.

Stability

Explain how automation remained stable as applications evolved: reducing flaky tests, maintaining reusable selectors, versioning framework components, handling application changes without large rewrites, and separating true defects from automation failures.

Nice to Have

• Mortgage, lending, banking, or FinTech experience
• Experience with compliance-heavy or document-heavy workflows
• Experience with AI-assisted QA, Azure OpenAI, or Claude
• Experience with Azure Document Intelligence
• Experience optimizing regression test selection

Candidate Screening Guidance

This is an architect-level automation role. Candidates must discuss actual projects where they built, scaled, secured, or stabilized automation frameworks not just concepts. Strong candidates naturally discuss scale, security, stability, framework architecture, CI/CD integration, and maintenance strategy with real-world examples and tradeoffs.

Candidates unable to provide detailed examples of real projects may not be the right fit.
