About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead continuous modernization and technical evolution of automation frameworks, libraries, utilities, and test architecture
Develop and review robust, readable, efficient Python code for backend automation, framework services, test utilities, and integrations
Profile and reduce test execution time; identify bottlenecks in setup, data handling, environment interaction, and parallel execution
Improve test reliability by reducing flaky tests, strengthening diagnostics, logging, debugging support, and failure reporting
Maintain and improve Playwright/TypeScript UI automation and integrate it with Python-based backend testing
Improve CI/CD integration, test selection, reporting, repeatability, and feedback time
Apply object-oriented design, modular architecture, reusable abstractions, clear interfaces, and appropriate design patterns
Partner with software engineers, quality engineers, and infrastructure teams to investigate failures, improve testability, and prevent defects
Mentor engineers through code reviews, design discussions, partnership, and practical guidance
Establish coding standards and framework-development practices
Measure execution duration, flakiness, failure diagnosis time, framework adoption, and regression coverage
Support product testing and determine where automation provides the greatest value while retaining appropriate exploratory or manual testing

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strong, hands-on Python programming skills, including designing, implementing, debugging, profiling, and refactoring non-trivial code
Typically, 8+ years of relevant software engineering, test automation, or framework-development experience
Substantial ownership of automation frameworks
Experience designing and evolving reusable automation frameworks, test libraries, or developer tooling used by multiple engineers or teams
Strong software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, modularity, error handling, testing, debugging, and clean-code practices
Experience building and maintaining integration-level, API, or backend automated tests
Practical experience with Playwright and TypeScript for front-end end-to-end automation, or equivalent depth and ability to quickly contribute
Experience with Git, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative Agile software development
Ability to investigate complex failures across application code, test code, test data, environments, and infrastructure
Strong communication and mentoring skills, with ability to explain design trade-offs and raise engineering quality across a team
Experience testing financial technology, electronic trading, capital markets, market data, order management, or other complex, high-throughput systems is highly desirable
Experience with Python-based automation frameworks
Experience improving large regression suites through parallelization, smarter test selection, test-data management, code coverage, performance profiling, and flakiness reduction
Experience with distributed systems, asynchronous programming, service integrations, messaging, or event-driven architectures
Experience with Linux-based test environments, containers, and troubleshooting environment-dependent failures
Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools effectively, with appropriate review and validation of generated code
