Job Description A technical, hands-on SDET role that builds and owns automation for the insurance broking platform, working closely with Product, Engineering, and Business. Automation-first and code-first: candidates are expected to write production-quality Python (and/or Java) code — building frameworks and tooling, not just recording scripts or running existing suites — and to be able to pick up feature/backend coding tasks when asked. Hiring Bar — Technical Orientation & Screening Screen for programmer orientation, not tool familiarity: ask candidates to design and write an automation framework from scratch in the interview (not just describe using Selenium/Playwright), and to reason about code structure, reusability, and maintainability the way a developer would. Include a hands-on coding round (live coding or a timed take-home exercise) in Python or Java — the same bar used for developer hiring, not a watered-down QA-only bar. Ask about and review any personal/GitHub projects, prior automation frameworks built from scratch, or scripting/tooling work beyond test automation — a strong signal for future conversion into a Programmer role. During the interview, explicitly probe willingness and aptitude to move into a Developer/Programmer role as QA automation matures — flag candidates who show strong interest and aptitude for this growth path. Responsibilities Automation Engineering (Primary Focus) Design, build, and own automation frameworks from scratch (UI and/or API) in Python and/or Java — this is core engineering work, not a secondary skill. Write clean, maintainable, version-controlled automation code with proper design patterns (Page Object Model, data-driven/keyword-driven frameworks, reusable libraries). Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines; own test-execution infrastructure end to end. Be able to read, debug, and where needed contribute to application code (Java/Spring Boot or Python services) to unblock testing — this role should be comfortable working inside the codebase, not just around it. Agentic-AI & Domain-Specific Test Coverage Agentic AI output testing: build automated tolerance-based assertions and confidence-score boundary testing for non-deterministic LLM outputs from agents built on Microsoft Agent Framework and Azure OpenAI — requires writing real test harnesses, not manual spot-checks. Rules-engine testing: build automated test matrices covering all hard-check and soft-check validation rule permutations. Email-ingestion testing: automate simulation of authorised/unauthorised senders, malformed attachments, and threading scenarios via Microsoft Graph API. Integration testing: automate API and end-to-end tests across AIM API, ImageRight, carrier portals, and Cora Sequence REST endpoints, including mock/stub strategies where carrier portals are not available for testing. Domain-scenario testing: build automated coverage for policy search, co-broker duplicate detection, and mid-term binding paths. Functional & Exception-Path Testing Understand product requirements, business workflows, and technical design; design test cases and test data for scenarios that aren't yet automated. Perform functional, regression, integration, system, and UAT testing where automation coverage doesn't yet exist — this should be a shrinking share of the role's time as automation matures, not the default mode of working. Identify, log, track, and validate defects with clear reproduction steps. QA Process, Collaboration & Growth Track Help define QA processes, test strategies, and documentation standards; establish entry/exit criteria and release sign-offs. Work closely with Product Managers and Engineering on requirements/acceptance criteria; participate in sprint planning and retrospectives. Take on incremental feature/backend coding tasks alongside Engineering as automation coverage grows, as part of the planned transition path from QA Engineer to Programmer. Minimum Qualifications Strong, hands-on Python and/or Java coding ability — at a level comparable to a junior/mid-level developer, not just test-scripting familiarity. Must be able to build an automation framework from a blank repository, not just extend an existing one. Relevant years of hands-on test automation engineering (not primarily manual testing) on web/enterprise applications; strong SDLC/STLC/Agile grounding.
