Additional Information:

Framework Development:

• Primary focus will be on writing automated test scripts rather than building the framework.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Datadog
• AzureAPM
• Kubernetes

Focus of Role:

This role is centered around test automation with a primary emphasis on:

• Writing automated tests for regression suites and future releases.
• Playwright for UI automation testing.
• Python programming using raw Python language (e.g., understanding lists, objects, composing scripts, writing classes, and object-oriented principles).

Purpose of Role:

• The team started automation last year, established frameworks, and built test builds.
• The goal is to automate regression suites, build a holistic test suite, and support releases in March and August.
• The candidate will enhance existing frameworks and help with quick turnarounds.

Location & Timezone:

• Fully remote; local candidates are a bonus but not required.
• Preferred time zones: EST and CST (8:30 AM EST meetings). PST candidates are welcome if they can accommodate early mornings.
