The Senior Quality Assurance Analyst / Automation Engineer provides the strategic mind and technical means for testing all aspects of a software solution, balancing both deep functional analysis and robust technical automation. In this hybrid role, you will be a key driver on a team responsible for both functional testing and expanding the automation infrastructure of our state-of-the-art web-based judicial case management system. This is an exciting opportunity for a professional who loves diving into business requirements, designing thorough test cases, and translating them into code. You will plug directly into a well-established automation framework utilizing the latest Selenium WebDriver, delivering continuous automated testing and reporting throughout the development cycle.

• UI Testing and Automated Testing strategies.

• Web Service testing (SOAP/REST/JSON).

• Agile development lifecycle (Scrum/Agile).

• Balancing hands-on Functional Testing with Automated UI Testing seamlessly on a single project cycle.

• Advanced test case design, requirements traceability matrices, and translating complex business rules into structured test scenarios.

• Building and maintaining POM-based automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and C#/Java.

• Writing SQL queries for data verification and back-end testing.

• Utilizing relative XPath language/expressions and object-oriented design principles.

Dual-Role Execution: Actively perform hands-on functional testing, black box testing, and manual exploratory testing while simultaneously writing and maintaining automated UI scripts for the same feature sets.

• AI-Driven Testing: Leverage AI utilities, including GitHub Copilot, Modern Requirements, and Copilot for DevOps, to accelerate the development of test scenarios, test case documentation, and automated script execution.

• Test Design: Translate complex business and functional requirements into highly structured, reusable test cases in Azure DevOps, maintaining a rigorous regression suite.

• Automation Engineering: Utilize Selenium WebDriver and/or Playwright to create, execute, and maintain smoke and regression tests.

• Defect & Data Tracking: Articulate defects with concise, technical steps enabling development teams to rapidly reproduce a condition.

• Framework Analysis: Interpret daily automated test reports to isolate application defects versus script maintenance issues.

• Collaboration: Partner with developers, fellow testers, and business stakeholders to ensure complete test coverage (positive/negative, cross-browser, integration) and meet strict sprint deadlines.
