Position Summary

Key Responsibilities:

Automation Engineering

• Design and build server-side automation frameworks that validate backend services, APIs, and distributed systems — with the goal of catching regressions before they reach anyone else.
• Build automation infrastructure that engineers can self-serve: run tests, validate changes, and get feedback in CI/CD without waiting on QA.
• Expand coverage across web services, async processes, and databases to build the kind of regression safety net that makes large refactors possible.
• Own and evolve the client automation framework for mobile and game testing, including Unity scene/object interaction and Appium-based iOS/Android automation.

Internal Tools and Engineering Productivity

• Design and build internal tools and automation utilities that improve developer and QA workflows.
• Create tooling to simplify automation execution, debugging, diagnostics, and environment setup.
• Develop utilities for data generation, validation, system diagnostics, and automation orchestration.

AI-Assisted Engineering

• Integrate AI-assisted workflows into automation development and testing processes as it makes sense – not everything needs AI but it does help in a lot of use cases.
• Explore and implement solutions using MCPS, LLMs, automation agents, or similar tools to accelerate test generation, debugging, and system validation.

Quality Engineering Collaboration

• Advocate in architecture discussions for the kind of testability and automation-readiness that lets the org move faster with confidence.
• Work closely with developers to ensure systems are designed with testability and automation in mind.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and automated validation systems.

Requirements:

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years as a QA Engineer, SDET, or Software Engineer.
• Strong programming skills in C#, Python, or SQL.
• Experience building automation frameworks, test harnesses, or internal engineering tools.
• Experience testing web services, asynchronous systems, and databases.
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with shipped games, titles, or live-service products.
• Experience with Unity-based applications (scenes, game objects, components).
• Experience with mobile automation using Appium on iOS and Android.
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows — AI coding assistants, LLM-based test generation, MCP integrations, or similar.
• Experience with AWS services (Lambda, Aurora, or related infrastructure).
• Experience with performance or load testing.

What This Role Offers

• The opportunity to build automation platforms and developer tools, not just test scripts.
• A chance to work at the intersection of automation engineering and AI-assisted development.
• The ability to influence how automation, tooling, and intelligent systems improve engineering quality across the organization, not just one team.
