SQA Automation Engineer II

About the Role:

We are seeking a skilled SQA Automation Engineer with a strong focus on API Automation to join our Quality Assurance team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in designing, developing, and executing automated test frameworks — particularly for APIs using Rest Assured or equivalent tools — and integrating these with Selenium-based test suites. This role involves building unified automation solutions where API and UI tests work cohesively to deliver reliable, end-to-end test coverage. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure consistent quality, performance, and scalability across products.

What will be your responsibilities?

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for API, web, and mobile applications.
• Build and enhance API automation frameworks using Rest Assured, Postman, or similar tools.
• Integrate API automation suites with Selenium UI test suites to enable seamless end-to-end validation of system workflows.
• Ensure both API and UI layers are tested cohesively for comprehensive functional and regression coverage.
• Conduct functional, integration, and regression testing of RESTful services and backend systems.
• Utilize TestNG for structuring, managing, and executing automated test cases.
• Perform web automation using Selenium (Java) and mobile testing using Appium when required.
• Use GitHub for version control, code collaboration, and framework maintenance.
• Integrate and manage automated test execution within CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing and reporting.
• Collaborate closely with developers and other QA engineers to identify, debug, and resolve issues quickly.
• Support test planning, execution, and reporting, ensuring traceability and comprehensive coverage.
• Continuously improve automation processes, enhance framework capabilities, and adopt QA best practices.

What are we looking for, and what does it require to be the right fit for this role?

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in automation testing with a strong emphasis on API automation.
• Proven expertise in Rest Assured for building and executing automated API test suites.
• Strong understanding of integrating API test suites with Selenium-based UI suites for complete end-to-end automation coverage.
• Experience in framework design — including Page Object Model (POM), hybrid, and modular patterns.
• Solid programming knowledge in Java for developing maintainable and modular automation code.
• Experience with Selenium for web automation and Appium for mobile testing.
• Proficiency in TestNG for test organization, data-driven testing, and reporting.
• Hands-on experience with Postman for exploratory and functional API testing.
• Knowledge of JMeter for load and performance testing.
• Experience using GitHub or similar version control systems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and test integration workflows.
• Understanding of QA methodologies, SDLC/STLC, and Agile/Scrum practices.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication abilities.
• Passion for learning and adopting new testing tools and practices

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with BrowserStack or other cloud testing environments.
• Familiarity with BDD frameworks like Cucumber.
• Basic knowledge of SQL and database validations for backend testing.
