Job Description

As a Senior Quality Automation Engineer in Credit Card, you build, enhance, and operate an automated testing framework covering API, user interface, and data-layer validation, and you make quality measurable through dashboards and actionable metrics. You partner with teams to translate requirements into test strategy, increase automation coverage, and reduce flaky tests through strong test data practices. Your work helps us release confidently and reliably.

Job Responsibilities 

• Design, develop, and maintain an automation framework that supports API, user interface, and data validation testing.
• Build and maintain automated API tests, including positive/negative scenarios, authentication patterns, and contract or schema validation.
• Create reliable, repeatable test data approaches (seeding, synthetic data generation, isolation, and cleanup) to reduce test flakiness.
• Validate end-to-end outcomes using database queries and data assertions across different data stores.
• Integrate automated tests into continuous integration and deployment pipelines to provide fast feedback and release confidence.
• Configure and own quality and execution dashboards (for example, Kibana), including trend views, failure insights, and automation health metrics.
• Monitor automation results and key quality indicators, communicate progress and risks, and drive resolution with partners.
• Collaborate with product and engineering partners to define test strategy, acceptance criteria, and meaningful coverage for new features.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and provide estimates for quality engineering work.
• Improve tooling, patterns, and standards to make test suites scalable, maintainable, and easy for teams to adopt.
• Coach peers on automation best practices, debugging, and building quality into delivery.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills 

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in quality engineering, test automation, or SDET roles with strong coding ownership.
• Demonstrated experience building or significantly evolving an automated testing framework (not only writing individual scripts).
• Strong Java development skills
• Proven API test automation experience (for example, REST testing frameworks and automated assertions).
• Practical database fundamentals and experience validating results using SQL and data checks across different database technologies.
• Hands-on test data management experience, including creating, seeding, maintaining, and cleaning up data for automated tests.
• Experience integrating automation into continuous integration pipelines (for example, Jenkins) and using source control workflows (for example, Git).
• Experience configuring and owning execution and quality dashboards (for example, Kibana) and using metrics to drive improvements.
• Experience working in Agile delivery teams and translating requirements into effective test scenarios.
• Strong communication skills to explain quality risks, progress, and results to varied audiences.
• Ability to troubleshoot across services, environments, and logs on Unix or Linux-based systems.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills 

• Experience in financial services and familiarity with credit card products and associated risk considerations.
• Working knowledge of Python is a plus.
• Experience with user interface automation tools and patterns (for example, Selenium and behavior-driven testing approaches).
• Experience with performance, monitoring, or reliability tooling (for example, load testing and application performance monitoring).
• Experience implementing contract testing and service virtualization to reduce dependency on downstream systems.
• Experience with containerized test execution and scalable parallel runs.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience mentoring peers and setting team-level automation standards.

Optional Additional Information 

• This role is hands-on and focuses on building, operating, and continuously improving automation and reporting capabilities.
• You may support manual testing for targeted scenarios when automation is not feasible or cost-effective.
• Work schedule and location expectations will be shared during the interview process.
• We welcome candidates with varied backgrounds and experiences who can demonstrate impact in building automation and measurable quality outcomes.
