Test Automation Engineer (Washington DC-Baltimore Area)

Test Automation Engineer

About the Position

This engineer will own test automation end to end, from writing the tests themselves to standing up the mock environments they execute against.

What You’ll Do

• Create and maintain automated test coverage for the application’s most important user and system workflows
• Stand up realistic, simulated environments for testing using Terraform
• Validate new code each sprint, uncovering defects and missing functionality and documenting them clearly
• Weigh in on release readiness decisions before each deployment
• Provide weekly status updates on quality goals and raise potential risks before they become problems
• Partner with developers on test strategy and identify areas where coverage is thin

What You Bring

• At least five years of experience in quality assurance or test engineering, with a track record of standing up an automation framework from the ground up
• Deep experience automating both UI and API tests, ideally in TypeScript (comparable languages considered)
• Practical DevOps skills, including Terraform for infrastructure as code, containerization, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines built in GitHub Actions
• Familiarity with AWS or a comparable cloud platform
• Comfort leveraging AI tools to speed up development and testing work
