We are seeking an Automation Framework Engineer (Architect-Level) to design and own our next-generation test automation ecosystem. This role goes beyond traditional QA automation—you will define the end-to-end automation strategy, integrating AI-driven testing, scalable frameworks, and enterprise DevOps tooling. You’ll work at the intersection of automation architecture, AI, and platform engineering, enabling faster, smarter, and more reliable software delivery—particularly within document-heavy, compliance-driven environments. What You’ll Do - Architect scalable UI automation frameworks (Playwright primary, Selenium legacy) - Integrate automation into Azure DevOps (pipelines, test plans, traceability) - Design AI-driven testing solutions using: - Azure OpenAI (test generation, regression optimization) - Azure Document Intelligence (OCR/document validation) - Claude + Azure DevOps (test creation, pipeline execution, reporting, script maintenance) - Build reusable API testing frameworks (Postman, GraphQL, PactumJS) - Enable CI/CD orchestration, reporting, and quality insights - Implement logging, observability, and failure analytics - Support document-heavy workflows (compliance, disclosures, OCR validation)
