Onebrief is hiring a
Senior Test Automation Engineer, Remote - Worldwide

Summary

The job is for a Quality Champion in a fast-growing defense tech startup, Onebrief. The candidate will be responsible for implementing quality practices, writing automated tests, coordinating with other teams, and mentoring engineers. The candidate should have experience with test automation using Mocha, Jest, Cypress, or Playwright, and knowledge of shift left methodologies.

Requirements

• Knowledge of industry-standard quality engineering practices
• 3+ years of experience writing test automation at the unit and integration layer of the pyramid for a React-based or React-like web application using any of Mocha, Jest, Cypress, or Playwright
• Creatively implementing shift left methodologies that demonstratively led to higher code quality
• Proven ability to mentor engineers in best practices around quality assurance practices in general and/or test automation specifically

Responsibilities

• Weighing in early in the dev cycle (during the design process), to identify rabbit-holes and potential problems in areas like performance, security, usability, and unintended cascading breakage in adjacent areas — before code is written
• Developing test plans, quality-related procedures (like bug bashes, defect triage, etc.), and documentation that support developers as they build new features
• Writing automated tests at multiple layers of the pyramid (unit, integration, e2e) with the goal of always shifting defect detection as far left as possible
• Coordinating with other teams to communicate how your teams’ work will impact their work — before it is merged
• Conducting exploratory testing and root cause analysis as needed, and mentoring others in this skill
• Exercising excellent judgement to identify and negotiate quality trade-offs that will inevitably arise in a software development environment that’s highly responsive to customer demand
• Working with your fellow engineers to develop first class quality metrics that align with overall quality strategy, with a focus on monitoring and observability
