You’ve been around the block, you know your frameworks, and you’re ready to own the automation strategy — not just contribute to it. We’re looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer who can level up our quality game at IBM Consulting and bring others along for the ride.

In this role, you'll work in one of our IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centers (Delivery Centers), where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private sector clients around the world.

  • Spot bottlenecks before they become problems and drive improvements using Agile and DevOps principles
  • Identify risks in the automation process early and put strategies in place to keep things running smoothly
  • Optimize test suite performance — fast feedback loops, no compromises on coverage or accuracy

In line with applicable pay transparency requirements, we are sharing the annual base pay range (gross per year). These amounts are based on a full-time schedule over a full calendar year.

The final offer may vary depending on your skills, qualifications, and experience, as permitted under applicable local law.
