Volunteer Python Automation Engineer information

What is the difference between Volunteer Python Automation Engineer vs Python Developer?

AspectVolunteer Python Automation EngineerPython Developer
CredentialsBasic programming knowledge, possibly some automation certificationsFormal education or certifications in Python or software development
Work EnvironmentVolunteer projects, non-profit organizations, open-source communitiesCorporate, startup, or freelance development settings
Industry UsageNon-profit, open-source, community-driven projectsTechnology, finance, healthcare, and various software industries

While both roles involve Python programming, Volunteer Python Automation Engineers focus on automating tasks for non-profit or open-source projects without monetary compensation. Python Developers typically work in paid positions within companies, developing software products or solutions. The key difference lies in the work environment and compensation, though both require strong Python skills and understanding of automation.

Job description

Leidos has a new and exciting opportunity for a Senior Test Automation Engineer in our Intelligence Sector's Cyber & Analytics Business Area (CABA). Our talented team is at the forefront in Security Engineering, Computer Network Operations (CNO), Mission Software, Analytical Methods and Modeling, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Cryptographic Key Management.
At Leidos, we offer competitive benefits, including Paid Time Off, 11 paid Holidays, 401K with a 6% company match and immediate vesting, Flexible Schedules, Discounted Stock Purchase Plans, Technical Upskilling, Education and Training Support, Parental Paid Leave, and much more. Join us and make a difference in National Security!
We are seeking a Senior Test Automation Engineer to design, build, and maintain automated test solutions for both REST APIs and web-based user interfaces. This role requires hands-on expertise in Linux command-line tools, Python automation, containerized test execution using Docker/Podman, and CI/CD integration with Jenkins and GitLab. The successful candidate will also help evolve our in-house automation framework by planning and executing the migration from legacy Robot Framework implementations to newer automation platforms.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance automated test suites for back-end REST APIs and web-based user interfaces.
  • Build and maintain a scalable, reliable test automation harness (framework) including execution, reporting, data setup/teardown, and CI/CD integration.
  • Implement and expand Python-based test automation using Pytest, including fixtures, test data strategies, and robust assertions/validation.
  • Create and maintain Docker/Podman container images used to run automation consistently across developer environments and CI pipelines.
  • Integrate automated test execution into Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, ensuring repeatable runs, clear reporting, and actionable results.
  • Use Linx command-line tools and Bash shell scripting to locate, parse, transform, and report on large volumes of logs, test output, and system data.
  • Support and extend UI automation using Robot Framework and the Python Selenium library, including test stability improvements and best practices.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to plan, estimate, and break down work for migrating the current in-house test harness from legacy Robot Framework to a modern alternative (e.g., Robot Framework AIO or Microsoft Playwright).
  • Write and maintain SQL queries (using SQL Developer or similar tooling) and integrate database validation steps into automated tests were appropriate.
  • Troubleshoot CI failures and test irregularity/volatility, improve test reliability, and contribute to continuous improvement of the overall QA automation approach.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelors Degree in a related technical field of study and 12 or more years of related experience. Candidates without bachelors degrees will require additional years of experience and will be considered on a case by case basis.
  • Strong experience with Linux and Bash shell scripting, with demonstrated ability to work effectively from the command-line and process/report on large data sets (logs, test artifacts, results).
  • Advanced experience building test automation in Python, including Pytest-based frameworks and best practices for maintainable automated testing.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Docker (or Podman) including building, versioning, and maintaining images used in automation and CI/CD workflows.
  • Working knowledge of Jenkins and GitLab pipelines, including running containerized workloads and managing automated test stages.
  • Experience with REST API testing, including validation of responses, authentication flows, and negative/error-path testing.
  • Familiarity with Robot Framework UI automation using Selenium library (Python).
  • Solid understanding of how to architect a test automation harness/framework for UI and/or API testing (test structure , configuration, reporting, environment management).
  • Familiarity with SQL and tools such as SQL Developer, including writing queries and using them within automated validation steps.
  • Security Clearance Requirement: Active TS/SCI with polygraph

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience planning and executing test automation framework migrations (e.g., Robot Framework to Microsoft Playwright or Robot Framework AIO).
  • Experience improving CI performance, parallelization, and test execution efficiency in containerized environments.
  • Strong debugging skills across services, CI logs, containers, and test reporting outputs.

WORKING STYLE / WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
  • Builds reliable, maintainable automation that can be executed consistently in CI and local environments.
  • Produces clear, actionable test reporting and contributes to reducing fickle tests and pipeline noise.
  • Takes ownership of framework-level improvements, including planning and breaking work into deliverable increments.
  • Collaborates effectively with engineering and QA stakeholders to ensure automation aligns with product and release needs.
