We are seeking a highly experienced QA Automation Engineer to own and drive automated testing for our back-office systems and enterprise integrations. This is a standalone role with significant ownership and impact, ideal for someone who thrives in autonomous environments and enjoys building, refining, and scaling QA automation frameworks.

You will work closely with the back-office development team and collaborate with legacy Client QA resources during the transition period. The automation framework is already established — your role will be to get up to speed quickly, ensure it functions seamlessly within our environment, and enhance it where necessary.

This position follows a hybrid schedule (3 days per week onsite in Atlanta).

• Own QA automation for back-office system integrations and implementations
• Work within a Jira-driven test management workflow
• Develop and maintain automation scripts primarily using Python
• Execute and expand automated test cases that validate system responses and workflows
• Ensure automation runs effectively within the existing framework (Bespoke-based)
• Validate integration points across multiple internal and external systems
• Identify and resolve issues tied to legacy Client components versus new environments
• Collaborate with developers and stakeholders to ensure high-quality releases
• Potentially support future expansion of QA automation as the team grows

• 5+ years of QA automation experience (more senior experience strongly preferred)
• Strong hands-on experience with Python
  -based automation frameworks
• Experience automating web-based applications and system workflows
• Familiarity with Jira for test case management and execution

• Exposure to Bespoken framework (or similar automation frameworks)
• Background collaborating with distributed or hybrid teams

• 5+ years of QA automation experience (more senior preferred)
• Must have prior experience operating independently as a sole QA resource
• Strong track record of hands-on automation work (not just manual QA)

• Strong Python experience (automation scripting is Python
  -based)
• Experience with Jira-driven test management and test case execution
• Web automation experience (automating workflows, validating responses, follow-on actions)
• Integration/system-level testing across multiple applications
• Ability to ramp quickly on an existing framework (Bespoke-based)
• No need to build from scratch — framework exists, needs ownership and optimization

• Strong automation scripting using Python
• UI test automation with Selenium Web Driver
• Test framework design (POM, PyTest / unittest)
• CI/CD integration using Jenkins/ Azure Pipelines
• Test management in Azure Dev Ops (ADO)
• Defect tracking with Jira
