afarax is looking for a freelance Test Automation Engineer. We need you!

The project:

Our client in the banking sector, is seeking an experienced Test Automation Engineer to strengthen their team.

As Test Automation Engineer, you’ll join an enthusiastic multidisciplinary team to develop qualitative applications in a fast-changing IT landscape. Your role will contribute to innovations benefiting millions of clients, ensuring product and code quality from start to finish through test automation.

And in detail:

• Own quality end-to-end: From the first line of code to final deployment, you guard the standards—ensuring every feature meets the mark before it reaches our clients.
• Design smarter tests: You don’t just follow test plans—you shape them, defining scope and priorities to catch what matters most.
• Automate with purpose: Writing scripts in Java (Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber) isn’t just a task—it’s how you free the team from repetitive work and speed up delivery.
• Turn data into action: Your test results don’t sit in a report—they drive decisions, shared clearly so the team can act fast.
• Solve, don’t just spot, issues: When you find a bug or bottleneck, you dig deeper—fixing it or flagging it with the precision the dev team needs.
• Bridge testing and development: Working side by side with developers, you help prioritize what to automate next, making sure effort goes where it counts.
• Keep CI/CD running smooth: Your automation isn’t an afterthought—it’s baked into the pipeline, so every build gets the green light faster.
• Master the environments: Whether it’s staging, production, or something in between, you debug scripts and apps until they run flawlessly—every time.
• Build frameworks that last: You don’t just write tests—you design systems that scale, stay reliable, and keep pace with our growing needs.
• Document like a pro: Your notes on processes and results aren’t just for show—they’re the go-to resource for the team.
• Stay sharp with ISTQB: You bring industry-standard rigor to everything you test, because quality isn’t optional—it’s essential.
