QA Automation Engineer (Robot Framework) Important: This role is open only to candidates currently living in Mexico or Latin America. Applications from other regions will not be considered. Join MagmaLabs, a leading provider of expert software engineers dedicated to helping companies achieve their goals across diverse and impactful industries.

We are actively seeking a seasoned QA Automation Engineer to join our fully remote team. In this role, you will build and own the end-to-end automation that protects complex, document-heavy platforms in legaltech, fintech, e-commerce, and other sectors where a defect reaching production is not an acceptable outcome.

About the Role Are you a QA Automation Engineer who would rather build the test framework than run the test cases? Join our fully remote team and take ownership of automated quality on a product where correctness is not negotiable: deep permission hierarchies, long multi-step workflows, and large volumes of documents that different people are allowed to see in different ways. You will not be inheriting a mature practice.

You will be the person who decides what gets automated, how the framework is structured, and what /"ready to release/" means. Your regression suite becomes the safety net the engineering team ships against, and the quality signal the business trusts. If you think a flaky test is a defect and not background noise, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities - Design, build, and maintain end to end automated test suites using Robot Framework and Selenium.

- Extend the automation framework with custom Python libraries and keywords that keep tests readable and maintainable as the product grows.
- Automate API level validation to cover business logic below the user interface, where it runs faster and breaks less.




- Integrate the automated suites into CI/CD pipelines so that every build produces a trustworthy quality signal.
- Build and own the regression suite, prioritizing the flows that carry the highest business risk.
- Design and maintain test data, including masked and synthetic datasets that keep sensitive information out of non-production environments.
- Validate complex permission hierarchies and tenant-level data isolation, verifying that each role sees exactly what it should and nothing more.
- Investigate failed runs down to root cause, and treat unstable tests as defects to fix rather than noise to retry.
- Report quality metrics that drive decisions: coverage, execution time, test stability, and defects that escaped to production.
- Collaborate with engineers, product, and the client team across time zones, and document the automation patterns that others will contribute to.

Requirements - Minimum of 5 years of software quality assurance experience, with at least 3 years focused extensively on test automation.

- Hands-on experience with Robot Framework, including writing and maintaining custom libraries rather than only authoring test files.
- Strong proficiency in Python beyond scripting level: modules, classes, decorators, and type hints.
- Proven experience with Selenium WebDriver, including explicit wait strategies and locators that survive changes to the interface.
- Experience automating REST API testing and validating data consistency across layers.




- Working knowledge of SQL for test data preparation and backend validation.
- Experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, with solid Git and code review practices.
- Solid grounding in test design: risk-based testing, edge cases, regression strategy, and the judgment to decide what is worth automating.
- Excellent written and spoken communication skills in English. You will work directly with the client team, where clear, self-authored bug reports and same-day responses are the standard.
- Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, etc.) and collaborating effectively across time zones, with overlap with United States Pacific business hours.

Bonus Points If You

Have - Experience with Playwright or the Robot Framework Browser library.

- Familiarity with parallel execution using Pabot and with reporting tools such as Allure.
- Experience testing document-heavy or highly configurable SaaS platforms.
- Knowledge of Docker and containerized test environments.
- Exposure to performance and load testing with tools such as JMeter or k6.
- Understanding of compliance-driven testing: audit trails, access controls, and SOC 2 requirements.
- Experience using AI-assisted tools to generate and maintain test scripts, with the judgment to review what they produce.
