Description
Senior Test Automation Engineer
Are you looking to join a team with a clear mission? Join us in moving from a manual-heavy process to an automation first culture! Our framework is already established, so you can hit the ground running, making an immediate impact in this role.
About Sand
Sand Technologies is a global Physical AI company using data and AI to make critical industries work better. We partner with governments, cities and enterprises to improve how essential systems operate across healthcare, water, energy, telecommunications and infrastructure.
Our work delivers proven real-world impact. We have built AI systems that help manage London’s water supply, supported telecom network planning across hundreds of cities, and developed digital healthcare platforms serving tens of millions of people across Africa. From intelligent command centers to AI-powered infrastructure platforms, we help organizations sense, analyze and act in complex environments.
Our people are ambitious, curious and relentlessly practical. Our teams work alongside clients in the field, solving hard problems and deploying solutions that last. With colleagues across Africa, Europe, the UK and the US, we operate across the full stack - from research and engineering to deployment and capability building.
Our mission is simple: to harness AI to solve humanity’s most pressing challenges.
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer to join our QA team in a fully remote capacity. Your primary mission will be to accelerate our automation coverage and clear a significant backlog of manual test cases by bridging the gap between requirements and code.
With our automation framework already established, we need an experienced engineer who can take a feature from a user story to a fully automated suite. This role requires a strong focus on GraphQL API testing, manual test design, and UI automation using TypeScript and Playwright.
What you’ll do
- End-to-End Testing Workflow: Take ownership of the full testing lifecycle for new features by analyzing User Stories, designing comprehensive Manual Test Cases, and transitioning them into robust Automated Regression Scripts.
- Scaling Automation: Expand and maintain our existing Playwright + TypeScript automation suite, ensuring scripts are stable, readable, and efficient.
- Backlog Conversion: Actively transform the existing backlog of manual tickets and functional requirements into automated scripts.
- GraphQL API Testing: Design and execute automated tests for GraphQL APIs, ensuring schema integrity and valid data responses across our services.
- Manual Testing: Perform thorough manual testing on web application features to validate UI/UX and identify edge cases before they are automated.
- CI/CD Integration: Work within our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to ensure automated suites provide rapid, reliable feedback to the engineering team.
- Quality Standards: Review test code and collaborate with the team to maintain high standards for test data management and script reliability.
Who you are
- Experience: 5+ years in Software Quality Engineering with a heavy focus on automation.
- Coding Proficiency: Strong experience in TypeScript. You should be comfortable writing clean, maintainable code and working within an existing framework.
- Playwright Expertise: Proven experience building and maintaining UI automation with Playwright.
- GraphQL Mastery: Hands-on experience testing GraphQL APIs (e.g., using Playwright’s APIRequest, Apollo, or similar tools).
- Manual Design: Proficiency in breaking down complex user stories into structured manual test cases that serve as the blueprint for automation.
- Web Testing: Deep understanding of web technologies (DOM, CSS, DevTools) and experience testing complex enterprise web applications.
Nice to have
- AI-Assisted Development: Proficiency in using AI-powered tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate script generation, refactoring, and debugging.
- Project Management Tools: Experience working in Agile environments using Click-Up and Notion for task tracking and documentation.
- Advanced GraphQL: Familiarity with testing subscriptions or complex schema stitching.
How we work
Due to the highly collaborative and internationally distributed nature of our work, successful candidates must be comfortable operating in small teams while contributing to larger, globally coordinated efforts. A strong sense of ownership, self-motivation and discipline in maintaining clear and consistent communication through virtual collaboration tools and video conferencing is essential.
