Test Automation Engineer

About the Position

We are seeking a Test Automation Engineer to join our team in Galway, Ireland. This role is a CONTRACTOR position, offering the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in the Republic of Ireland. Our client is a global leader in information management, where innovation and collaboration are key components of our corporate culture.

Responsibilities

• Automation Design and Development: Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks covering functional, regression, API, and end-to-end scenarios. Develop and maintain automated test suites for web applications, REST APIs, and platform integrations.
• CI/CD and Quality Engineering: Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality feedback on every build. Define and maintain quality gates, coverage targets, and release criteria. Monitor suite health, investigate and eliminate flaky tests, and keep execution times within acceptable limits.
• Quality Assurance and Collaboration: Work with developers, DevOps, and product stakeholders to define acceptance criteria and testable requirements. Perform exploratory and risk-based testing where automation is not appropriate. Support non-functional testing, including performance, load, and security-related validation. Mentor colleagues in automation practices and promote quality ownership across the team.

Requirements

• Core Skills:

  • 4+ years’ experience in test automation within a commercial software or B2B SaaS environment.
  • Strong programming ability in at least one of Python, Java, C#, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Hands-on experience with modern UI automation tooling such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.
  • Demonstrable experience automating API and integration testing (e.g., REST Assured, Postman/Newman, pytest, or equivalent).
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure DevOps, and working with source control and branching workflows.
  • Solid grounding in test design: risk-based prioritization, coverage analysis, and knowing what should and should not be automated.
  • Experience working in an Agile development environment.
  • Native proficiency in spoken and written English.

• Secondary Skills (Nice to Have):

  • Performance and load testing experience (JMeter, k6, Locust, or similar).
  • Working knowledge of Azure cloud services, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • SQL and database testing experience.
  • Experience with AI-assisted test generation, maintenance, or triage tooling.
  • Security testing awareness (e.g., OWASP fundamentals).

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a highly regarded team where engineering standards are taken seriously.
• Collaborative and inclusive workplace culture.
• Competitive compensation package.
