Senior Test Automation Engineer

co.brick talents — powered by AI, powered by people.

We are seeking a forward-thinking Senior Test Automation Engineer to spearhead our Next-Gen QA practices within a high-traffic retail environment. In this role, you will shift away from conventional scripting, relying instead on autonomous coding agents and LLM-assisted workflows (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) as your primary development toolkit. You will leverage these systems to generate test code, refactor legacy frameworks, and validate complex enterprise integration points—focusing heavily on Java, BDD practices, and SOAP/REST APIs.
