Senior Software QA Automation Engineer
6+ Years Experience
About Cidroy
Cidroy is a software engineering company that builds scalable digital solutions for enterprises across industries. Our work spans enterprise platforms, automation, system integrations, cloud applications, and data-intensive solutions that solve complex business and operational challenges. We value engineering excellence, ownership, and building software that delivers measurable impact.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to own quality across a large-scale water infrastructure monitoring platform. You'll build automation for APIs, backend services, and web applications that process telemetry from SCADA systems and other hardware integrations. This is primarily a software QA automation role with a strong focus on backend validation, data integrity, and end-to-end system quality. Experience testing software platforms that integrate with hardware, sensors, SCADA systems, telemetry, or industrial automation will be an advantage.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain automation frameworks for REST APIs that ingest telemetry from SCADA and third-party hardware systems.
- Validate data integrity across the platform, ensuring data is accurately processed, aggregated, and displayed from sub-zones through to city-level dashboards.
- Develop and maintain automated regression suites for web applications using Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
- Design test scenarios for malformed, delayed, duplicate, or missing telemetry data to ensure the platform behaves predictably under real-world conditions.
- Validate third-party integrations, backend services, APIs, and end-to-end business workflows.
- Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Develop effective test data strategies for time-series and geospatial datasets.
- Investigate defects by tracing failures across APIs, services, databases, and application layers to identify root causes.
What We're Looking For
Required
Automation Engineering
- Strong experience building and maintaining automation frameworks using Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
- Proficiency in at least one automation language such as JavaScript, Java, or Python.
- Hands-on experience with API testing using Postman, RestAssured, or equivalent tools.
Testing & Quality
- Strong understanding of STLC, test design techniques, and automation best practices.
- Experience validating business logic and data correctness, not just UI functionality.
- Excellent debugging and analytical skills with the ability to trace issues across multiple system components.
Engineering Practices
- Experience with Git and CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
- Strong SQL skills for validating, troubleshooting, and investigating application data.
Preferred
- Experience testing software platforms that integrate with hardware, sensors, SCADA systems, telemetry, or industrial automation.
- Exposure to time-series databases, GIS, or geospatial data.
- Performance testing using JMeter, k6, or similar tools.
- Experience with Docker or containerized testing environments.
- Experience working on industrial, utilities, infrastructure, or other integration-heavy enterprise software.
What Success Looks Like
- You verify not only that features work, but that the underlying data is accurate and trustworthy.
- You investigate intermittent failures to identify root causes instead of treating symptoms.
- You proactively identify edge cases, integration risks, and data quality issues before they reach production.
- You have built or significantly contributed to automation frameworks rather than only adding test cases.
- You collaborate closely with developers to improve product quality and release confidence.
Who This Role Is Not For
- Candidates with only manual testing experience and limited hands-on automation expertise.
- Candidates interested primarily in UI testing rather than backend, API, and data validation.
- Candidates who prefer executing predefined test cases over designing test strategies and solving complex quality challenges.
