About Us

Full Scale is a fully remote-first company that helps businesses build dedicated teams of skilled software engineers. We make finding and retaining experienced software talent easy and affordable.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Test Engineer (Automation) to join a delivery-focused team supporting enterprise transformation initiatives. The ideal candidate is a strong hands-on automation engineer with experience building test frameworks, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines, and improving release confidence across API and UI environments. This role is best suited to someone who is highly technical, execution-focused, and comfortable working directly with stakeholders while still doing the work themselves. The engineer should also have practical exposure to non-functional and performance testing, with the ability to identify stability and performance risks before go-live.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated test coverage across API and UI layers.
• Build and improve reusable automation frameworks.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Support functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.
• Identify and communicate non-functional risks including performance and stability concerns.
• Help reduce production issues by improving pre-go-live quality coverage.
• Work closely with engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders throughout delivery.
• Support defect triage, quality reporting, and release readiness decisions.
• Contribute to documentation and handover to support ongoing delivery and BAU needs.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience in QA automation or test engineering.
• Strong experience with automation, CI/CD, and framework building.
• Experience testing APIs and UI workflows.
• Ability to stay hands-on rather than operating only as a lead or coordinator.
• Experience working closely with stakeholders while remaining technically deep.
• Exposure to non-functional or performance testing and related risks.
• Strong understanding of system stability, failure points, and release readiness.
• Experience supporting enterprise or complex integrated systems.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Availability to work in a remote setup aligned with the required time zone.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Playwright and TypeScript.
• Experience with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling.
• Strong SQL skills for validation and troubleshooting.
• Experience in financial services or other regulated environments.
• Experience supporting long-running transformation or modernization programs.
