CI/CD Automation EngineerPosition OverviewWe are seeking a

CI/CD Automation Engineer

to help modernize and automate application testing, patching, and deployment processes. This role will focus heavily on building automated test frameworks and integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual effort, improve deployment quality, and streamline the patching process.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with

Playwright

, CI/CD automation, and

Ansible

, along with experience working in containerized environments. Candidates should understand how modern

Java and React applications

function well enough to develop and execute effective automated test scripts, but do not need to be application developers.

Must-Have Skills

• Strong hands-on

CI/CD automation

experience, including designing, maintaining, and improving deployment pipelines.

• Playwright experience is REQUIRED

— significant hands-on experience creating and maintaining automated UI test scripts.

• Experience with

test automation frameworks/tools

, preferably including

Cucumber

, Playwright, or similar UI automation frameworks.

• Strong

Ansible

experience, including the ability to independently

write, develop, and maintain Ansible playbooks

rather than simply execute existing playbooks.

• Strong

Python

skills for automation, scripting, and test development.

• Experience automating

patching and deployment processes

and integrating automated testing into those workflows.

• Experience working with

Kubernetes and/or OpenShift

and applications running in containerized environments.

• Understanding of environments containing both

containerized services and traditional VM-based workloads

, including

Windows and RHEL/Linux

.

• Working knowledge of applications built with

Java and React

, with enough understanding of application behavior and architecture to develop appropriate automated test scripts.

• Ability to develop automated tests that validate applications following patching, deployments, and infrastructure changes.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain

automated testing frameworks

integrated with CI/CD pipelines.

• Develop

Playwright-based UI automation

to validate application functionality after deployments and patching.

• Automate testing processes to reduce manual validation and improve deployment confidence.
• Write and maintain

Ansible playbooks

to automate patching, configuration, and deployment activities.

• Integrate automated test execution into existing

CI/CD pipelines

.

• Develop automation that validates applications after patching and deployment activities.
• Help reduce the manual effort and operational risk associated with the current patching process through automation.
• Work with development and infrastructure teams to understand application behavior and determine appropriate automated test coverage.
• Support deployment processes across

containerized and VM-based environments

.

• Develop Python scripts and other automation as needed to support testing and deployment workflows.
• Troubleshoot failed automated tests, deployments, and pipeline executions.
• Expand automated test coverage for applications utilizing

Java and React

technologies.

Technology Environment

CI/CD:

CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation

Automation:

Ansible, Python

Test Automation:

Playwright (Required)

, Cucumber, UI testing frameworks

Containers:

Kubernetes, OpenShift

Operating Systems:

RHEL/Linux, Windows

Applications:

Java, React

Ideal CandidateThe strongest candidate will be an automation engineer who sits at the intersection of

DevOps, CI/CD, and software testing

. They should be able to independently write Ansible playbooks, build CI/CD automation, and—most importantly—develop

Playwright test automation

that can be executed as part of the deployment and patching lifecycle. Experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift and an understanding of Java/React applications will allow them to effectively test modern applications across both containerized and traditional infrastructure environments.
