Job Summary We are looking for a Senior Automation Test Engineer to design and implement testing practices that combine automation frameworks with AI-powered testing tools, and to roll them out directly with engineering teams. The role covers hands-on automation development, along with defining the test strategies, standards, and workflows that keep AI-assisted testing consistent and effective across projects. The role includes on-site work with project and client teams as a regular part of the job, in addition to remote work. Beyond building automation, the position involves understanding why a testing practice may not be landing with a particular team and adjusting the approach - which requires reading organizational context, not just technical systems. Key Responsibilities Design the Testing Practice Define test strategy templates, automation standards, and AI-usage guidelines that other testers and engineers can follow.Evaluate AI-powered testing tools and frameworks and recommend which to adopt for a given project or team.Determine where AI tools are used in the testing workflow (test generation, automation, defect analysis, reporting) and where manual review is required.Build & Implement Automation Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks and scripts for web, mobile, API, and integration testing.Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, including automated quality gates and release validation.Roll out testing practices directly with engineering teams and, where required, at client locations - supporting adoption on the ground, not only remotely.Improve Through Feedback Identify why a testing approach or automation practice isn't being adopted by a team, and adjust it based on the root cause rather than assumption.Capture what works and what doesn't from each rollout and feed it back into shared standards and frameworks.Coordinate with development and deployment teams to ensure testing connects smoothly with what comes before and after it in the delivery pipeline.Required Skills Automation & Quality Engineering 36 years of hands-on experience in automation testing and quality engineering, across web, mobile, API, and integration testing.Strong hands-on experience with automation frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium, or similar.Experience designing, building, and maintaining scalable automation frameworks, not just individual test scripts.Strong understanding of testing methodologies, test design techniques, and quality assurance best practices.Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps.Strong understanding of release validation, deployment testing, smoke testing, and quality gates.Strong understanding of Git and collaborative development workflows.AI Tools & Usage Hands-on, daily experience using AI-powered testing tools and assistants for test generation, automation development, defect analysis, and reporting.Working knowledge of more than one AI tool or model, and the judgment to choose the right one for a given task.Experience evaluating new or emerging AI testing tools and recommending which to adopt.Ability to write clear, effective prompts and instructions to get accurate, usable output from AI tools, and to catch and correct AI mistakes.A genuine, active interest in keeping up with new AI tools, models, and techniques as they evolve.Communication Strong written and spoken communication skills in EnglishStrong interpretation skills: the ability to read organizational and stakeholder context, understand why a process or practice isn't working, and not treat every implementation issue as a technical one.Ability to clearly explain testing strategy, findings, and AI-adoption recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including in client-facing settings.Preferred Skills Experience rolling out a new testing practice, framework, or standard across more than one team or client organization.Willingness and ability to travel for on-site implementation work.Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools.Experience mentoring QA engineers or supporting their adoption of new tools and practices.Working knowledge of how development and deployment pipelines are structured, to ensure testing connects smoothly with them.Educational Qualification Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent practical industry experience.Salary Package: 10 - 18 LPA Compensation: 1,000,000.00 - 1,800,000.00 per year Work Location: Hybrid remote in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
