Test Automation Developer

Location: Phoenix, Arizona (Partial Remote)
Employment Type: Contract

Role Overview

As a Test Automation Developer, you will be part of a team that ensures the accuracy and reliability of health plan data. You will design and maintain automated test suites that validate API responses, compare data across systems, and identify mismatches. This role involves working with Robot Framework, SQL, and REST API tooling to debug data anomalies, build reusable test keywords, and integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines within an Agile/Scrum environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Write and maintain automated test cases, keywords, and resource files using Robot Framework.
• Query SQL and Cosmos DB to validate source-to-target data accuracy and field mappings.
• Test REST and GraphQL APIs, validating request and response payloads, status codes, and error codes.
• Compare expected versus actual data using data diff tooling and log-based debugging.
• Integrate automated test suites into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.
• Document test results and communicate failures to the development team.
• Identify data anomalies and investigate root causes, not just report that a test failed.
• Contribute to test planning, sprint ceremonies, and quality strategy discussions.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 2-5 years of experience in software quality assurance or test automation. Hands-on experience writing automated test cases using Robot Framework or a comparable keyword-driven framework is necessary.

Technical Skills:

• Experience writing SQL queries to validate data, including SELECT, JOINs, and WHERE filters.
• Experience testing REST APIs, including validating requests, responses, status codes, and JSON payloads.
• Experience with Git, including branching, commits, and pull request workflow.
• Proficiency in writing and maintaining Robot Framework test suites.
• Ability to compare data sets and identify mismatches.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines such as Azure DevOps or Jenkins.
• Familiarity with NoSQL databases like Cosmos DB for data validation.
• Understanding of ETL concepts, including source-to-target data flow and field mapping validation.
• Experience with test reporting tools such as Allure or Azure DevOps Test Plans.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, including query structure and response parsing.
• Awareness of token-based authentication for testing protected endpoints.
• Experience with pandas or deepdiff for data comparison in Python.
• Basic understanding of Azure services such as Blob Storage and Cosmos DB concepts.
