Senior Test Automation Engineer

Hiring Test Automation Engineers Who Will Shape Our AI-Native Quality Future

Are you an Engineer with boundless curiosity? Do you want to understand the product, code, risk, and everything in between? Do you find yourself poking, experimenting, digging, and exploring?

At Fresh Prints, we're in the middle of reshaping our Test Automation Engineering team into one that can develop and build on top of a robust suite of API and UI integration tests. We're developing via AI-native workflows that help us build efficiently and test effectively. You need to understand patterns, abstractions, when to add complexity, and when to keep things simple.

On a normal day here, you might:

• Rewrite a brittle Playwright utility because the team deserves better building blocks.
• Run a mix of exploratory and planned sessions, trying to break the system and find edge cases.
• Tune a GitHub Actions workflow because slow CI slows everyone down.
• Dive into error logs to understand a production issue and find ways to recreate it in the test environment because your ownership extends beyond "my scripts passed."
• Guide a conversation after a failure and help the team learn from it without blame.

We're looking for confident Test Automation Engineers who want to dive into all of it with us.

WHAT YOU'D BE TESTING

We have bootstrapped Fresh Prints by being one few companies in the custom apparel space with real tech. We've developed our own OMS, CRM, and e-commerce applications that cover everything from designing the apparel to account management through the entire supply chain.

We now have a distinct advantage in the race to leverage AI. We're building a suite of generative AI agents that should both generate more revenue and make the business significantly more scalable.

How do we effectively validate all of that tech? That's what we'll look to you to answer. As a Test Automation Engineer on our team, you'd be at the heart of it all.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Build and ship high-quality, AI-assisted test automations

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure test automation frameworks across UI, API, and integration layers.
• Write clean, well-structured automation code that balances speed of delivery with long-term maintainability.
• Proactively identify flaky tests, bottlenecks, architectural gaps, and opportunities to improve reliability, speed, or coverage.
• Automate workflows that streamline engineering productivity and deployment confidence.

Execute thoughtful, high-signal system validation

• Perform exploratory testing that goes beyond scripted checks: digging into edge cases, product behavior, and user flows with genuine curiosity.
• Validate complex scenarios, new features, and ambiguous product areas where automated scripts aren't yet the right tool.
• Use insights from manual exploration to guide automation priorities, architecture decisions, and risk assessment.
• Treat system discovery as a strategic activity that uncovers unknowns, not a rote task to "get through."

Elevate the Quality Culture

• Uphold high standards for test design, automation strategy, code quality, reliability, and documentation.
• Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, pairing, and thoughtful guidance.
• Understand the product deeply: its users, workflows, risks, and growth goals.
• Translate business needs into robust testing strategies that uncover issues early and improve user experience.
• Take ownership of outcomes, not just automation scripts.

CULTURE FIT

Culture is as important to us as the tech stack. We look for people who:

• Are technical but grounded.
• Are low ego and never hoard knowledge; they lift others up.
• Give clear, honest feedback and accept feedback with humility.
• Don't wait for instructions; if something needs to be done, they do it.
• Lead through influence, consistency, transparency, and solid engineering.

REQUIREMENTS

• 4-6 years of professional Engineering experience with strong programming ability in Java, Python, or JavaScript.
• Deep hands-on expertise in UI and API automation using Playwright/Selenium and TestNG/JUnit, with a solid grasp of testing at multiple layers (UI, API, integration).
• Proven experience designing or evolving automation frameworks that are scalable, maintainable, and used comfortably by other engineers.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or Jenkins), how to integrate tests effectively, and how to improve reliability and speed.
• Strong exploratory testing skills, especially in ambiguous or high-risk areas where automation alone won't uncover the real issues.
• Ability to diagnose flaky tests, performance bottlenecks, and architecture gaps, and propose technical solutions, not band-aids.
• Curiosity and hands-on experience with AI-assisted tools for test generation, debugging, and log analysis, with a desire to integrate AI into engineering workflows.
• Excellent cross-functional communication with Product, Design, and Engineering, especially for clarifying requirements and improving testability.

TECH STACK

• Automation: Java, Playwright, TestNG
• API Testing: RestAssured, Postman, custom API test harnesses
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• Database: MySQL
• Collaboration: Jira, Confluence, Slack
• AI Tools: Cursor, CodeRabbit, Copilot, AI-assisted test generation/debugging tools

Compensation & Benefits 

• Competitive salary 
• Health insurance 
• The opportunity to learn a lot rapidly 
• Working with a talented and engaged team dedicated to building a business together.
• At Fresh Prints, we deeply value the long-term contributions of our team. To recognize and celebrate that commitment, we offer a 2-month paid Sabbatical to eligible employees.

Job Location 

•  This is 100% remote work.

Working Hours 

• 1:30 PM IST - 11:30 PM IST
