Mid-Senior QA Automation Engineer (Medical field)

• Design, implement, execute, and maintain automated test cases for APIs, backend services, and frontend workflows.
• Analyze requirements and acceptance criteria, identify additional test scenarios, and collaborate with developers to improve testability.
• Develop and maintain automated tests using Python, Playwright, and a Behave-based BDD framework.
• Maintain and improve test frameworks, test clients, mocks, test data, and test environments.
• Investigate failing tests, identify defects, and maintain regression and smoke test suites.
• Execute tests locally and through CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with QA Automation Engineers, developers, and software requirements leads.

• 4+ years of experience in software test automation.
• Experience in API testing; REST experience is sufficient, while gRPC or OPC UA is an advantage.
• Experience designing and maintaining automated test cases and regression suites.
• Experience with Python, ideally at an advanced level, or a solid automation background and willingness to develop Python skills.
• Experience with BDD and TDD; knowledge of Behave is preferred.
• Experience with Playwright. The project uses Playwright with Python, not JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Experience with Docker, ideally Docker Compose.
• Familiarity with Git-based workflows and CI/CD.
• Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.

Nice to have:

• Experience with GitLab, VS Code in WSL2, DevContainers, hardware mocking, gRPC and Protocol Buffers, OPC UA, shell scripting, or pipeline scripting.

Project technology stack: 

• Test automation: Python, Playwright, Behave, Docker, Docker Compose, GitLab
• Application: C++ backend microservices, React/TypeScript microfrontends
• Communication: gRPC between services and OPC UA for hardware integration
