Job Description

InnosysTech is looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer / SDET with strong hands-on experience building and maintaining automated testing solutions for enterprise applications.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with Java-based automation, Selenium or Playwright, REST API testing, SQL and CI/CD, along with experience working in Agile delivery environments.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can develop automation frameworks and test suites—not only execute manual test cases.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain scalable test automation frameworks and automated test suites.
• Develop automated tests for web applications, APIs and backend services.
• Perform functional, regression, integration and end-to-end testing.
• Automate UI testing using Selenium and/or Playwright.
• Develop and execute REST API tests using Postman, REST Assured, ReadyAPI or similar tools.
• Perform database validation and backend testing using SQL.
• Integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines.
• Analyze test results, investigate failures and work with development teams on root-cause analysis.
• Create and maintain test cases, test data and defect documentation.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, requirement reviews, defect triage and release activities.

Required Skills

• 7+ years of software testing / Quality Engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on experience in QA automation / SDET roles.
• Strong programming or automation experience using Java.
• Hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver and/or Playwright.
• Strong experience with REST API testing and automation.
• Experience with Postman, REST Assured, ReadyAPI or similar API testing tools.
• Strong SQL and database-testing experience.
• Experience with Git and source-control practices.
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum, test automation strategy and defect lifecycle management.

Nice to Have

• Performance testing using JMeter or LoadRunner.
• Experience with Cucumber / BDD, TestNG or JUnit.
• Experience with Azure or AWS.
• Docker / Kubernetes experience.
• Accessibility testing experience with WCAG / AODA.
• Experience testing microservices and distributed applications.
• Previous experience working on large enterprise or public-sector technology programs.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who has personally designed, developed and maintained automation, not someone whose experience is primarily manual testing.

Your resume should clearly demonstrate hands-on experience with several of the following:

Java | Selenium | Playwright | REST API Testing | Postman | REST Assured | SQL | JMeter | Azure DevOps | CI/CD

If you have strong automation engineering experience and enjoy working on complex enterprise applications, we would like to hear from you.
