Senior QA Automation Engineer (Python)

We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer with strong technical chops and a passion for hands-on testing in Linux-based environments. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly within test and regression environments, supporting automation, troubleshooting, and system validation—not just building frameworks.

You’ll collaborate with QA leads, developers, and environment support teams to ensure the reliability and scalability of trading and batch systems. The focus will be on maintaining and running automation, validating system stability and performance, and performing regression testing in complex environments.

Responsibilities

• Execute, maintain, and troubleshoot Linux shell scripts to support test and regression activities
• Build and adapt automation scripts and utilities using Python (preferred language)
• Operate within non-functional regression (NFR) environments focusing on stability, performance, and batch validation
• Support end-to-end testing cycles, ensuring smooth execution and results validation in pre-production setups
• Run SQL queries for data verification, test validation, and troubleshooting
• Collaborate with QA and development teams to identify automation process improvements and environment optimizations
• Learn and support testing activities for Murex systems—Murex experience is not required but a willingness to learn is essential

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering or related technical discipline
• Strong experience in Linux/Unix environments with proven ability to run and debug shell scripts
• Solid knowledge of Python scripting for automation tasks
• Exposure to regression testing NFR validation and batch execution processes
• Hands-on experience with SQL for data validation and analysis
• Practical understanding of QA processes and environment management

Nice to have

• Exposure to financial systems or capital markets environments
• Basic understanding of automation frameworks (though not the primary focus)
• Familiarity with tools such as Jenkins GitLab CI/CD or similar automation orchestrators

We offer

• Extended Healthcare with Prescription Drugs, Dental and Vision, and Healthcare Spending Account (Company Paid)
• Life and AD&D Insurance (Company Paid)
• Employee Assistance Program (Company Paid)
• Telehealth (Company Paid)
• Short-term Disability (Company Paid)
• Long-Term Disability
• Paid Time Off (including vacation and sick days)
• Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) with Company match
• Maternity/Parental/Adoption Leave Top-up
• Employee Stock Purchase Program
• Critical Illness Insurance
• Employee Discounts
• Unlimited access to LinkedIn learning solutions

An artificial intelligence system is software that is developed with one or more techniques that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, using algorithmic information processing, generate outputs such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions with varying levels of autonomy (“AI”). Tasks that humans have traditionally done by thinking and reasoning are increasingly being done by, or with the help of, AI to help create efficiencies.EPAM may use AI during the recruitment process, in connection with collecting or processing your personal data. Some (non-exhaustive) examples of tasks that EPAM may use AI for include conducting initial screening, creating transcripts of interviews, and assessing applications/CVs against defined job description criteria to make suggestions to the individuals evaluating your candidacy.Your personal data and the results of any processing are not shared with AI applications outside of EPAM infrastructure. While EPAM may use AI to help create efficiencies during the recruitment process, EPAM does not use AI to make hiring decisions, which is done by EPAM Talent Acquisition and management.
