The Automation Engineer designs, maintains automated tests, mentors teams in best practices, integrates tests into workflows, and collaborates with stakeholders.
As an Automation Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing and maintaining our automated tests and testing infrastructure. A strong leader and technical expert, you will be the driving force behind integrating automated tests into our development workflow and mentoring the team in automation best practices. You will collaborate with stakeholders to ensure that tests can be written efficiently, run consistently, and reported accurately. You understand both how to build software systems the “best way” and when to make trade-offs.
We want people who:
- Have strong proficiency in at least one scripting language (JavaScript, Python, etc)
- Consider not just the problem at hand but how their work might scale in the coming weeks, months, and years
- Understand what technological and cultural components are needed to roll out automation across an engineering organization
- Have proven experience managing large automated test suites and ensuring they provide a clean signal
- Are driven to resolve root issues rather than re-running tests and hoping for the best
We really want people who have:
- Proven experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD pipelines
- Strong leadership and mentorship skills, with experience fostering collaboration in cross-functional teams
- Successfully built automation for desktop application performance analysis
Our Best Candidates will have:
- Experience with Renewed Vision products, live event production, or video/graphics/sports production
- Expertise in turning test results into insightful and actionable dashboards with tools like Splunk or Tableau
