Strengthen test stability and execution through better CI practices in Jenkins —including flaky test isolation, retries, and parallelism. Collaborate with our Automation Agent Engineer to review and productionize autoscripted test skeletons. Write clear documentation: test structure, naming conventions, contribution standards, and environment coverage. Work with internal helper libraries and step definitions, improving their clarity and maintainability. What You Bring 5 years of experience as an Automation Engineer or SDET , with strong Java development skills.

Experience working with CI/CD pipelines , particularly Jenkins , and strong Git/code review hygiene. It is an asset if you have: Interest or experience in AI-assisted test automation —including reviewing autoscripted code or prompt-aware improvements.
