About the role

We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to own quality strategy for serverless middleware services powering ordering, loyalty, payments, and third-party integrations across a major consumer platform. You will design and maintain automated test suites for RESTful APIs and event-driven architectures on AWS, execute performance and load testing, validate partner integrations including delivery and payment platforms, and integrate quality gates into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. The role expects active use of AI-assisted tools as a core part of daily quality engineering work.

  • Validate event-driven workflows and asynchronous messaging;
  • Execute performance and load testing;
  • Validate resiliency and failure scenarios;
  • Design, build, and maintain automated test suites covering functional, integration, and contract testing for middleware APIs and services ensuring correct behavior in isolation and across dependencies;
  • Leverage AI-assisted tools for test case generation, synthetic data creation, failure analysis, and coverage documentation;
  • Own performance and reliability validation including load, stress, spike, and soak testing, establishing baselines and identifying bottlenecks;
  • Partner with engineers throughout the development cycle to align on test strategy, acceptance criteria, and CI/CD integration via Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions;
  • Validate third-party integrations through contract testing, sandbox/staging validation, and failure mode analysis;
  • Track and report quality metrics, maintain documentation, and contribute to incident post-mortems.

Must haves

  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions);
  • Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, or equivalent);
  • Familiarity with contract testing approaches and consumer-driven contracts;
  • Strong analytical and root-cause analysis skills, including distinguishing flaky tests from real defects;
  • Experience validating asynchronous systems;
  • Strong scripting skills;
  • Clear communication and ability to translate test findings into engineering priorities;
  • Collaborative approach to working within engineering sprints;
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Postman/Newman experience;
  • Familiarity with Pact or other contract testing tools;
  • Cognito authentication testing experience;
  • Delivery and payment integration testing experience;
  • Experience with DoorDash, Uber Eats, or similar marketplace APIs;
  • Chaos engineering and fault injection (AWS FIS or similar);
  • Observability tooling experience (Dynatrace, Datadog, CloudWatch);
  • Multi-region AWS testing and failover/latency validation;
  • Background in QSR, retail, or e-commerce domains;
  • AWS Certified Developer – Associate or higher.

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
