We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Automation Developer to drive the architectural design, development, and execution of scalable software automation solutions. In this role, you will take technical ownership over identifying automation opportunities across software processes, building robust testing frameworks, and engineering automated UI, API, and accessibility test suites. Working closely with QA analysts and software developers, you will design reusable scripts, investigate software defects, and streamline validation workflows to ensure high-performance, resilient application releases.
...
Location: Toronto, ON (Fully Onsite – 5 days/week required)
Duration: 9-month contract.
Advantages
Modern Framework Ownership: Master cutting-edge automation architecture using Playwright, TypeScript, and AI-driven testing tools.
Diverse Automation Scope: Combine UI, API, accessibility, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) into a unified technical toolkit.
Collaborative Onsite Environment: Engage directly with engineering and QA squads in a high-velocity, hands-on environment.
High-Impact Quality Influence: Directly shape release quality and test velocity for mission-critical enterprise applications.
Responsibilities
Automation Framework Architecture: Design, build, and scale test automation frameworks using Playwright, utilizing modular, hybrid, and Page Object Model (POM) architecture patterns.
Reusable Automation & Scripting: Write, maintain, and optimize hands-on automation scripts using TypeScript/JavaScript, developing shared libraries, environment templates, and reusable components to eliminate redundancy.
UI & API Testing Execution: Design and execute automated functional test suites covering web interfaces and RESTful/SOAP API integrations.
Process Automation Identification: Analyze software development lifecycles and business workflows to isolate and implement strategic opportunities for process automation.
Accessibility & AI Scripting: Integrate digital accessibility testing tools (such as Axe and Lighthouse) into automated test pipelines to ensure WCAG AA and regional accessibility compliance, leveraging AI tools to enhance script generation.
Defect Investigation & Resolution: Isolate, investigate, and document complex software bugs resulting from automated runs, collaborating directly with developers to implement technical fixes.
RPA & Intelligent Automation: Configure, build, and deploy end-to-end robotic process automation solutions using Microsoft Power Automate (cloud and desktop flows), AI Builder, and Machine Learning models where applicable.
Documentation & Solution Design: Prepare comprehensive Solution Design Documents (SDD), requirement specifications, and technical runbooks to guide ongoing script execution and framework maintenance.
Qualifications
Automation Framework Design: Deep expertise designing, building, and evolving scalable test automation frameworks using Playwright (incorporating Page Object Model, modular, and hybrid architecture patterns) (Strictly Required).
Advanced Scripting & Development: Strong hands-on coding skills in TypeScript or JavaScript to develop, maintain, and troubleshoot complex test automation scripts (Strictly Required).
UI & API Testing Mastery: Proven experience writing and executing automated scripts for both front-end UI interfaces (Playwright) and backend API endpoints (Strictly Required).
Reusable Automation Design: Demonstrated background developing shared test libraries, reusable environment templates, and modular test suites to minimize code duplication (Strictly Required).
Digital Accessibility & AI Integration: Direct experience incorporating accessibility auditing tools (Axe, Lighthouse) and AI utilities into automated test workflows (Strictly Required).
RPA & ML Platform Experience: 5+ years of experience developing and implementing process automation solutions using Microsoft Power Automate (cloud/desktop flows, AI Builder) or similar RPA tools.
Full-Stack Development Literacy: Working knowledge of front-end and back-end web technologies (JSON, HTML/CSS, XPath, REST APIs) and relational/NoSQL database platforms.
Soft Skills: Excellent analytical problem-solving, active listening, and technical documentation abilities, with a track record of meeting tight sprint deadlines.
