Senior QA Automation Engineer

Join Dispel, a cybersecurity company, as a Senior QA Automation Engineer. In this hands-on role, you will lead web application test automation efforts, mentor junior engineers, and influence engineering practices across teams. You will design and execute QA strategies, frameworks, and automated test plans, and continuously evaluate testing tools and processes. You will also own and enhance CI/CD-integrated testing infrastructure and contribute to automated security checks in CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and execution of QA strategies, frameworks, and automated test plans across multiple products, with a strong emphasis on test automation.
• Mentor junior QA and automation engineers, conduct code reviews, and provide technical guidance to help them grow in their roles.
• Continuously evaluate testing tools, techniques, and approaches, and drive improvement of QA processes aligned with engineering goals.
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, including functional, integration, regression, end-to-end, and negative testing
• Strong experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and source-control workflows

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with Playwright, preferably using JavaScript or TypeScript, with emphasis on designing scalable automation frameworks rather than solely creating individual test cases (experience with Cypress, Selenium, Jest, or similar is a plus)
• 5+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, Quality Engineering, Software Development Engineering in Test (SDET), or a similar role
• Experience testing complex applications involving role-based access controls, permissions, multi-tenant environments, or security policies
• Strong experience designing and developing automated tests for modern web applications

Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

• Experience mentoring junior engineers and providing constructive technical feedback through code reviews
• Familiarity with security testing tools (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, SAST/DAST)

Preferred

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, or similar technologies
• Experience in security-critical, high-availability, or infrastructure-heavy systems
• Familiarity with API security, authentication flows, and data protection practices
• Experience leading QA initiatives in Agile environments
