Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram's Kazhakkoottam area has a Lead Automation Testing Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a QA team building out automated test coverage for a growing product. Ten years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries real authority over automation architecture.
The work covers designing and executing test cases, identifying and reporting software defects, verifying fixes before release, and collaborating with developers to improve product quality. A lead automation engineer here reviews test script design from other engineers, catching brittle tests that break with every minor UI change before they compound.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with an ISTQB or equivalent testing certification and proven hands-on experience with test case design, defect tracking, and automation tooling.
Experience architecting a genuinely large automation framework from scratch, familiarity with CI/CD integration for automated tests, and any background where a fragile test suite was rebuilt to be genuinely maintainable.
Technopark is one of Kerala's largest and most established tech parks, and this team's automated coverage has grown significantly, giving this lead role real architectural weight over how that coverage scales going forward. Naukri Mitra has listed a few QA roles from this employer, and lead automation engineers who've joined recently describe rebuilding a fragile, high-maintenance test suite into something genuinely reliable as the most technically satisfying project this role has offered.
Interviews include a technical round on automation framework design and a discussion of a past framework you've architected or rebuilt. Candidates who describe designing for maintainability tend to interview well.
This role is based at Technopark, Kazhakkoottam, Thiruvananthapuram, pin code 695582, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,57,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
