Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

Company Overview

Datavid empowers organizations with tailored solutions to their most complex data challenges. By combining AI, knowledge graphs, and semantic enrichment, we transform fragmented information into governed, AI-ready systems. Our three pillars shape every engagement: faster delivery through reusable accelerators, proven outcomes with accountable teams, and smarter investments via scalable, modular architectures. 

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to take ownership of end-to-end quality for our data-driven platforms. In this hybrid role, you will balance high-level automation strategy with hands-on manual exploratory testing. You will be responsible for defining how we test, from UI interactions to complex API data contracts, ensuring our \"Business-first\" engineering remains fast and reliable. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Automation Leadership: Design and implement scalable automation frameworks from scratch for UI testing using Playwright or Selenium (JavaScript/Java).
• API Quality: Develop robust API automation suites using Playwright or RestAssured to validate data integrity and system integrations.
• Manual Expertise: Perform high-level manual testing, including exploratory, edge-case, and \"persona-based\" testing for complex data products.
• Integration & DevOps: Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps) to enable continuous quality.
• Test Strategy: Create comprehensive test plans and strategies that cover functional, regression, and integration testing for high-stakes enterprise projects.
• Collaboration: Partner with Data Engineers and Architects to ensure quality is \"shifted left\" and built into the development lifecycle.
• Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and code reviews for automation scripts to maintain high standards of code quality.

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• 5 to 10 years of professional experience in Software Testing.
• Expert-level Automation: Proven experience building frameworks using Playwright (JS/TS) or Selenium (Java/JS).
• API Testing: Deep hands-on experience with API automation tools like RestAssured or Playwright.
• Manual Testing Proficiency: Strong ability to analyze requirements and identify critical manual test scenarios that automation might miss.
• Technical Stack: Solid understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript or Java; experience with SQL for data validation is highly preferred.
• Agile Mindset: Comfortable working in fast-paced, sprint-based environments where requirements can evolve.
• Communication: Strong ability to articulate technical risks and quality metrics to both engineering teams and business stakeholders.

Why Datavid?

• High Impact: You aren't just a \"tester\"; you are a guardian of data quality in a company that lives and breathes data.
• Senior Environment: Work with some of the best minds in the industry—no junior-heavy overhead.
• Modern Tech: Exposure to AI, LLMs, and Knowledge Graph technologies.
• Culture: We value transparency, technical curiosity, and a healthy work-life balance.
