This role increases functional test coverage through automation, reduces manual effort, and supports consistent, high-quality delivery across the software development lifecycle in accelerated, AI-assisted cycles. The Testing & Automation Engineer partners closely with Software Engineers, Product, and DevOps teams to embed quality early and continuously.Responsibilities include but not limited to:Design, develop, and maintain automated tests for UI, API, and backend services; execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end tests across applications and platforms, applying a test-pyramid approach that favors fast, reliable API/service-level automation.Partner with Software Engineers and Product teams to define test scenarios and acceptance criteria; participate in sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives.Maintain and enhance test-automation frameworks and tooling; build resilient, maintainable automation (e.g., attribute/accessibility-based locators) that survives UI and content change; integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) for continuous testing.Identify, document, and track defects through resolution; perform root-cause analysis and partner with engineering teams on fixes.Define and apply functional-quality release-readiness criteria; provide evidence-based quality signals and go/no-go input for releases, and report coverage and defect-escape measures.Leverage AI-assisted tools across the test lifecycle (test-case generation, test-data creation, coverage analysis, defect detection); review and validate AI-generated tests, tag and report AI-generated test cases for transparency, and help define guardrails for safe, policy-compliant AI use.Qualifications (some examples listed below):5–7+ years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or automation roles.Proficiency with automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, REST-assured, Postman, or similar).Ability to read, write, or debug test code or scripts (e.g., Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#).Understanding of REST APIs and service-based architectures; familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and continuous-testing concepts.Hands-on experience with AI-assisted testing tools and practices required.Familiarity with observability concepts and using quality/monitoring signals to inform testing is a plus.Bachelor’s degree preferred in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience considered.","company":"Ora Apps","rawCompany":"ora apps","city":"Shelton","state":"CT","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-19T12:14:01.474Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1253.00","title":"Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers","slug":"software-quality-assurance-analysts-and-testers"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"15-1211.00","title":"Computer Systems Analysts","slug":"computer-systems-analysts"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"SDET- Testing & Automation Engineer","description":"Job Title: SDET / Testing & Automation EngineerLocation: Shelton, CT- 4 days onsite each weekDescription: The Testing & Automation Engineer designs, develops, and maintains automated test solutions that ensure the quality and reliability of software applications and services, operating as part of the enterprise-wide Testing function — a horizontal shared service supporting all product, platform, and engineering teams.
