Build reusable frameworks to test both UI and backend processes (e.g., using Selenium, Provar, Playwright, or custom frameworks with Java/Python)

Create and maintain robust test cases for regression, smoke, and functional testing across multiple Salesforce orgs and configurations

Validate end-to-end workflows including integrations with systems like DocuSign, MuleSoft, Kafka, Data Cloud, and external APIs

Collaborate with Salesforce developers and admins to test both custom and declarative features

Proactively identify quality risks in stories, features, and releases — and define mitigation strategies

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Copado)

Support and improve test data management strategies across sandboxes

Contribute to QA standards, coding practices, and documentation

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related discipline

3–6 years of QA experience, with at least 2+ years in test automation for Salesforce

Strong understanding of the Salesforce platform — including data model, Apex, LWC, Flows, and Process Builder

Hands-on experience with test automation tools like Cucumber, Karate, Selenium WebDriver, or similar

Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Java, JavaScript, Python)

Experience testing Salesforce REST and SOAP APIs

Familiarity with Salesforce-specific test management tools (e.g., TestRail, Xray, Salesforce Test AutomationFrameworks)

Working knowledge of Git, Jenkins, or other CI/CD tools

Experience writing SOQL queries for test validation and troubleshooting

Ability to read and debug Apex code and LWC (preferred but not mandatory)

Strong communication skills and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset

Nice to Have:

Familiarity with Salesforce DX and scratch org workflows

Performance or load testing background

Salesforce certifications (QA or Platform Dev)
