Automation Engineer (Mid level SDET)

Job Summary: As an experienced SDET at Medrio, you will be on the technical forefront in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our software products. You will design and maintain scalable test automation frameworks, integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate closely with test architect, engineering, product, and UX teams to drive a culture of quality across the organization. This is a hands-on role for someone who is passionate about software quality, continuous improvement, and mentoring others. Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and scale end-to-end automation frameworks for UI, API, and backend services independently with minimal supervision.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable delivery.
• Define and execute comprehensive testing strategies across API, UI, integration, regression, performance, and security testing.
• Collaborate with engineers to improve code testability, reliability, and overall product quality.
• Track and analyze quality metrics, automation coverage, defect trends, and regression risks; recommend improvements.
• Participate in code reviews and provide technical guidance from a quality perspective.
• Mentor and coach junior QA/SDET engineers, promoting best practices in automation and quality engineering.
• Drive quality initiatives across teams, influencing design and architecture decisions to enhance testability.
• Leverage AI/ML tools for intelligent test generation, prioritization, defect prediction, and test data management.
• Advocate for quality in product planning, release readiness, and post-release analysis.

What You'll Do

• Implement & Enhance: Translate requirements into robust, maintainable test automation using Python and Robot Framework. You’ll be expanding our existing suite, not just running static tests.
• Leverage AI Safely: Utilize AI tools (like Cursor) to boost your development velocity. You will be responsible for validating, debugging, and refining all AI-generated code to meet our internal standards.
• Architecture Stewardship: Build out test scenarios using the Page Object Model (POM), ensuring code reuse and long-term maintainability.
• Pipeline Management: Monitor and debug our CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins), ensuring test results are actionable and feedback loops are tight.

Tech Stack You'll Work With

• Languages: Python 3.11+
• Frameworks: Robot Framework 6.1.1, Playwright, Selenium
• Core Patterns: Page Object Model (POM)
• Tools: Cursor (AI-assisted coding), Pabot (Parallel Execution), Git, Jenkins, Testrigor, Postman
• Cloud Environments: GCP, Azure
• Database: SQL/ Oracle DB (Strong relational database knowledge)

Working Conditions (include any required travel):

• Remote

What We're Looking For

We need a Quality Engineer who balances technical precision with a forward-thinking mindset. You don’t just test code; you build systems that ensure long-term stability.

• Software Quality Expertise: 3–5 years of experience in software quality engineering, with deep hands-on expertise in test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium) and testing libraries.
• Engineering Proficiency: Strong coding skills in Python or JavaScript. You don't just write scripts; you write clean, modular, and maintainable code.
• Architectural Awareness: You understand the "why" behind patterns like Page Object Model and can implement them independently to create scalable testing suites.
• Technical Ecosystem: Solid understanding of the SDLC, Agile practices, and CI/CD pipelines. You have experience working with cloud environments (GCP or Azure), relational databases (SQL), and developer tools like GitHub Actions.
• AI-First Mindset: You’ve experimented with AI coding tools and understand their limitations. You know that while AI can generate a script in seconds, a human engineer is required to ensure it is reliable, secure, and optimized for intelligent test coverage and defect prediction.
• Security & Collaboration: You respect the "guardrails" for eg: data security and environment separation are second nature to you. You thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with architects and stakeholders to solve complex problems.
• Mentorship: You have a passion for mentoring junior team members and fostering a culture of quality across the engineering organization.
• Experience working in a clinical trial industry or healthcare is a huge plus
