About the role: 

Senior Automation Test Engineers work on large testing projects and crucial product areas. Using your experience, you guide other team members to improve testing, test automation, and quality.

  • You provide detailed estimates on both the planning and testing stages.

  • You demonstrate a strong focus on non-functional testing (performance, security, accessibility, reliability, etc.) and build out automated testing solutions aligned with Nintex engineering principles.
  • You identify and prioritize test conditions addressing product risks and features to be tested.
  • You attend and contribute to team ceremonies and meetings (daily scrum meetings, planning meetings, demos, and retrospective meetings).  
  • You actively look at ways to improve your team's quality and testing landscape and encourage re-use and knowledge sharing.
  • You proactively communicate to your team and delivery manager on your work status and seek any help required.
