QA Automation Engineer

This position is accountable for delivering and sustaining automated quality practices across Digital Enterprise project teams.

The person in this role will be accountable for:

• Identifying and resolving quality and automation blockers to maintain project velocity and proactively suggesting solutions and mitigation techniques to prevent delays to delivery.

• Gaining and maintaining expertise in Chubb standard automation frameworks, contributing to framework selection decisions and ensuring the team's tooling stays current and effective.

• Independently creating and managing test and automation scripts across projects, with a strong emphasis on reusability, maintainability, and coverage completeness.

• Developing robust and reusable automation libraries and script architectures that can be adopted across multiple project teams and delivery squads.

• Designing comprehensive quality strategies for complex products within projects, covering functional, integration, performance, and regression testing dimensions.

• Presenting quality strategies, test results, and risk assessments in project reviews and sprint demonstrations, communicating clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality feedback throughout the development lifecycle, reducing the cost of defect discovery.

• Defining and enforcing automation standards, coding patterns, and best practices across engineering teams to ensure consistency and long-term maintainability of the test estate.

• Establishing performance baselines, thresholds, and SLA targets in collaboration with architects and platform owners and tracking degradation trends across releases.

• Mentoring Quality Engineers to foster hands-on growth through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and direct guidance, actively contributing to increasing the automation and performance practices

• Designing test suits and strategies focused on performance optimization, and extending this practice across the Digital Transformation model

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; IT professional with 5+ years of hands-on experience in testing automation and performance testing.

• Strong knowledge of the Software Testing Lifecycle (STLC) and proven experience defining Test Strategy and Test Plans to automate testing across functional and non-functional dimensions.

• Proficiency in two or more programming languages commonly used in test automation (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Java).

• Testing automation expertise in tools and frameworks such as Playwright, Newman, and Selenium.

• Hands-on experience with performance testing using tools such as k6, LoadRunner, or equivalent, including scenario design, execution, and results analysis.

• Demonstrated experience integrating test frameworks into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

• Experience using source code management tools, in particular Git and GitHub, including branching strategies and pull request workflows for test code.

• Expertise across API testing, integration testing, UI testing, and performance testing disciplines.

• Working knowledge of microservices and API-first architectures, with the ability to design integration test strategies that reflect real production topology.

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and DevOps practices applicable to testing automation, including shift-left quality principles.

• Experience with test reporting and observability platforms (e.g., Allure, or Grafana) to surface quality signals at team and leadership level.

• Strong strategic thinking skills; able to design and articulate comprehensive quality strategies for complex, multi-component digital products.

• Strong problem-solving skills applied to complex, ambiguous quality challenges in fast-paced delivery environments.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to convey complex quality risks and technical findings clearly to both engineering and business stakeholders.
