Our client is seeking a Python Automation Engineer to join their team. As a Python Automation Engineer, you will be part of the integration test execution effort, supporting validation and regression activities across multiple fleet configurations.

What's the Job?

• Execute integration test runs on client-provided rack configurations, including acceptance test procedures, regression campaigns, and sanity passes across multiple fleet configurations.
• Enhance and maintain existing automated regression suites, harnesses, fixtures, and reporting—treating automation as a maintained software product rather than a one-time script effort.
• Support test configuration database activities, including preparation, delta comparison, consistency checking across configurations, and controlled application of changes under the client’s configuration state model.
• Collaborate on improving reliability and repeatability of automated test execution across varied configurations and environments.
• Produce clear, reviewable code and documentation that enables smooth handoffs and long-term maintainability of the automation framework.

What's Needed?

• Strong Python 3.x fundamentals, including type hints/typing, interfaces, and a mypy-style discipline.
• Solid OOP experience using classes and clean abstractions, applying design patterns and SOLID principles.
• Experience building and maintaining backend services and REST APIs, including validation and robust error handling.
• Unit testing experience with pytest, including mocking and writing readable code that supports effective code reviews.
• Ability to work with automation that is maintained over time, including fixtures, reporting, and regression suite evolution.

What's in it for me?

• Work on meaningful automation that directly supports integration test execution, acceptance procedures, and regression quality.
• Opportunity to contribute to a maintained automation framework with long-term impact on test reliability.
• Hands-on involvement in test configuration database support, including consistency checks and controlled configuration changes.
• Immediate start opportunity with a defined engagement timeline (3-month CTH).
• Clear compliance expectations, including a mandatory background check.
