Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Automation Test Engineer to lead testing transformation across a complex FinTech communications ecosystem spanning voice, telephony, unified communications, and electronic communications platforms. The successful candidate will design and implement enterprise-grade automation frameworks that enable continuous certification, post-upgrade validation, and release readiness for a portfolio of 50+ applications. The role requires hands-on automation expertise and the ability to advise architects and engineering teams on systems and strategies optimized for automated validation, with emphasis on robotic process automation.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, reusable test automation frameworks for diverse enterprise applications.


• Define automation approaches aligned to system architecture, integration complexity, and risk profiles.


• Integrate vendor automation tools and frameworks with enterprise-standard solutions.


• Evaluate and recommend low-code/no-code and AI-assisted automation platforms.


• Implement automation for certification of new releases and CVE-related remediations.


• Drive post-upgrade "ready for business" validation across the install base.


• Ensure comprehensive validation across UI workflows, APIs, integrations, and voice/telephony flows.


• Lead the shift from manual testing to automation-first validation models.


• Define and implement risk-based test coverage strategies for automated and legacy manual suites.


• Establish standardized testing practices within CI/CD pipelines and promote BDD where appropriate.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 5+ years designing and developing test automation frameworks in complex enterprise environments.


• Hands-on experience with Selenium, Rest-Assured, Cucumber, Postman, or equivalent tools.


• Proficiency in Java, JavaScript, and/or TypeScript for building robust automation suites.


• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.


• Background in Agile delivery with cross-functional collaboration.


• Ability to define and implement risk-based test coverage across manual and automated testing.


• Demonstrated success reducing manual testing dependency through automation at scale.


• Must have experience with Robotic Process Automation.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in FinTech, financial markets, or regulated environments.


• Exposure to voice and telephony systems such as VoIP, SIP, call recording, or unified communications.


• Experience validating real-time communications workflows and audio interactions.


• Familiarity with low-code/no-code automation platforms and AI-assisted testing tools.


• Experience integrating vendor-provided testing frameworks.


• Knowledge of compliance-driven testing and audit-defensible validation practices.
