About the Role

This role focuses on automation rather than functional testing. You will own automated UI test coverage across our applications, incorporating performance, scale, stress, load, and benchmarking into everything we ship. Over time, the role will expand into security engineering, so an interest in application security is a strong plus. This position is 100% onsite at our Scottsdale corporate headquarters.

Responsibilities

• Design and write automated test cases covering the entire UI.
• Build and maintain automated coverage across web applications, the mobile app, and customer-facing portals.
• Automate data validation checks against Snowflake to catch pipeline and reporting regressions.
• Create and maintain the automation suite for both existing and new applications.
• Conduct stress testing, load testing, and performance benchmarking.
• Perform security testing, including automated security scans, vulnerability checks, and validation of authentication and access controls, with the goal of growing into a broader security engineering role over time.
• Establish and track performance baselines to catch regressions before they reach production.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so coverage runs continuously.

Requirements

• Proven experience building and maintaining UI automation suites with a modern framework (Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress).
• Automation scripting in Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience automating tests for both web and mobile applications.
• Performance and load testing with tools such as JMeter, Gatling, or k6.
• API test automation (e.g., REST Assured, Postman).
• SQL proficiency for automating data validation (Snowflake experience a plus).
• Version control with Git (Bitbucket a plus).

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to security testing tools or practices (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, dependency/vulnerability scanning).
• Mobile test automation experience with Appium (React Native mobile app).
• CI/CD pipeline experience (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps).
• Experience in the financial services industry.

Benefits

• $113,000 to $142,000 base salary plus bonus.
• 401(k) with a matching contribution up to 13%.
• United Healthcare PPO medical coverage for employees, paid by the company.
• Delta Dental PPO, United Healthcare Vision, Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability, Life Insurance, and many more voluntary options.
• Generous holidays and PTO.
• Future career growth opportunities.
