Jobs at Location Labs

Lead Test Automation Engineer

Location: Emeryville, CA

Type: Contracted to Full Time

Min. Experience: Mid Level

We are looking for experienced test automators who will come in and drive an automation initiative across our upcoming products.  You will be recommending tools, creating a framework, and  working with senior engineers to architect and implement this in our test and deployment cycle.

This is a three part position:

1) setting up an automated test framework

  • This is primarily for a Java stack web application in an Agile environment.  You should come in with a good knowledge of the options, and a solid suggestion for the architecture and implementation of the automation system. An understanding of build & deploy processes across a few organizations is desirable.

2) develop & implement tests for an automated environment or revamp existing regression tests to a more suitable format for automation as necessary

  • we have extensive, well documented manual test cases
  • we have team members who know the product in & out
  • we have unit tests
  • we have some automated tests
  • you will turn this into a working test automation suite at the API/service level - we understand this should not be a 1 manual --> 1 automated process

3) train existing talented QA team members on implementation for the automated framework

  • we have a great team of testers, and want them to support and assist you in this implementation
  • you need to be comfortable establishing process & delegating tasks

Requirements:

  • extensive experience with test automation
  • experience with multiple automation frameworks
  • a strong engineering background (experience counts more than a degree)
  • experience with SQL, UNIX, &  JAVA technologies
  • Java coding or Python scripting skills
  • proven test automation success
