QA Automation Architect Automation Framework Engineer

### Role Summary We seek an architect-level Automation Framework Engineer to design, build, and scale enterprise automation frameworks across UI, API, document, and integration-heavy workflows. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience designing frameworks for scale, security, and long-term stability as applications, teams, and delivery pipelines evolve. This role includes AI-assisted QA initiatives using Azure OpenAI, Claude, and Azure DevOps integrations. ### Key Responsibilities * Architect, build, and maintain scalable UI automation frameworks using Playwright and Selenium * Design frameworks supporting multiple teams, applications, environments, and CI/CD pipelines * Build reusable API and integration testing components (Postman, GraphQL, PactumJS, REST clients) * Support document-heavy and compliance-driven workflows (disclosure validation, OCR, document intelligence) * Implement automation observability: logging, diagnostics, flaky test detection, and trend reporting * Support AI-assisted automation: test generation, regression optimization, and failure triage ### Required Experience * Deep hands-on experience building and maintaining enterprise automation frameworks * Advanced coding in TypeScript, JavaScript, or C# * Strong experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar frameworks * Demonstrated CI/CD expertise, preferably with Azure DevOps * Ability to provide real-world examples of framework design decisions and tradeoffs ### Core Evaluation Areas ### Scale Candidates must explain how they designed automation frameworks that scaled across teams, applications, and environments. Examples may include scaling test execution across CI/CD pipelines, supporting multiple products from one framework, designing reusable components, and managing test data and environment configuration. ### Security Describe security practices when building frameworks: secure credential management, avoiding hardcoded secrets, role-based access, secure test data handling, pipeline security, and protection of sensitive data. ### Stability Explain how automation remained stable as applications evolved: reducing flaky tests, maintaining reusable selectors, versioning framework components, handling application changes without large rewrites, and separating true defects from automation failures. ### Nice to Have * Mortgage, lending, banking, or FinTech experience * Experience with compliance-heavy or document-heavy workflows * Experience with AI-assisted QA, Azure OpenAI, or Claude * Experience with Azure Document Intelligence * Experience optimizing regression test selection ### Candidate Screening Guidance This is an architect-level automation role. Candidates must discuss actual projects where they built, scaled, secured, or stabilized automation frameworks—not just concepts. Strong candidates naturally discuss scale, security, stability, framework architecture, CI/CD integration, and maintenance strategy with real-world examples and tradeoffs. Candidates unable to provide detailed examples of real projects may not be the right fit.
