Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Automation Engineer with at least 5 years of hands-on experience in designing automation frameworks and developing test scripts using Selenium WebDriver. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in UI automation for complex web applications, particularly those involving dynamic elements, multi-window interactions, and enterprise workflows. Experience with IBM TRIRIGA, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities (MREF), or Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is advantageous but not mandatory. This role involves building robust, scalable automation solutions to ensure the quality and reliability of our applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks from scratch or enhance existing ones using Selenium WebDriver, ensuring reusability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Create functional UI test scripts for web-based applications, focusing on scenarios involving object selections, lookups, drill-downs, and child record views that often open new windows or pop-ups.
• Collaborate with development, QA, and product teams to identify automation requirements, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, and analyze test results.
• Implement best practices for test data management, error handling, reporting, and logging to support efficient debugging and execution.
• Optimize automation scripts for performance, handling dynamic UI elements, cross-browser compatibility, and multi-environment testing.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to process improvements in the automation strategy.
• Stay updated with industry trends in automation tools and technologies to recommend enhancements.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in automation testing, with proven expertise in Selenium WebDriver for UI automation.
• Strong programming skills in Java (preferred, as it aligns with many enterprise apps), including experience with build tools like Maven or Gradle.
• Proficiency in framework architectures such as Page Object Model (POM), Data-Driven, or Hybrid frameworks.
• Solid understanding of locator strategies (XPath, CSS, etc.), handling windows/tabs, iframes, alerts, and advanced interactions (e.g., Actions class).
• Experience with testing tools and libraries like TestNG/JUnit for assertions, Extent Reports or Allure for reporting, and Apache POI for data handling.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, and version control systems like Git.
• Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA).
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently or in a team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience automating enterprise applications like IBM TRIRIGA (Integrated Workplace Management System), MREF, or MAS.
• Exposure to other automation tools such as Cypress, Playwright, or Appium for hybrid/mobile testing.
• Understanding of API testing (e.g., using RestAssured or Postman) to complement UI automation.
• Certifications in Selenium, ISTQB, or related automation technologies.
• Prior experience in domains like facilities management, real estate, or asset management software.
