Software Development Engineer II

Job Description:

• Designing, developing, and maintaining automation frameworks that can be reused across different types of testing (UI, API, performance, security) instead of writing isolated scripts.
• Driving an AI-first testing strategy by integrating AI-driven solutions into the QA process.
• Implementing and scaling Playwright-based automation across web applications (Python/Django + JavaScript/NextJS).
• Performing manual testing where required (e.g., exploratory testing, edge cases, or quick validation), but spending the majority of time on automation.
• Building CI/CD-integrated test systems to ensure continuous, reliable test coverage.
• Identifying gaps, bottlenecks, and risks in automation pipelines and resolving them proactively.
• Ensuring test reliability, maintainability, and scalability by focusing on frameworks, not one-off scripts.
• Mentoring junior QA engineers and collaborating with developers, DevOps, and product teams to raise quality standards.

Requirements:

• Experience building reusable, scalable test frameworks instead of writing isolated scripts.
• An AI-first approach to automation testing (test case generation, self-healing tests, AI-driven validation).
• 2.5+ years of experience in automation testing with a strong engineering mindset.
• Hands-on expertise with Playwright for end-to-end testing.
• Hands-on experience with manual testing.
• Good debugging and online searching skills.
• Good communication skills.
• Good problem-solving skills.

Benefits:

• Permanent remote/WFH and flexible work culture.

• An AI-first approach for solving the problems.
• Complete ownership and trust from the top management.
• Ideas and concerns are carefully listened to by the top management.
