Test Automation Engineer AI-Assisted Testing (Thiruvananthapuram)

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 work from home. 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 .
