ADP are hiring a Lead Automation QA Engineer

ADP is hiring a Lead Automation QA Engineer

• Are you empathic to client needs and working collaboratively to find the best solutions, even if they are not yours?
• Are you inspired by transformation and making an impact on the lives of millions of people every day?
• Are you passionate about quality, automation, and building tools that ensure reliable software at scale?

Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to design what's next?

In this role, you will work with the development team to gather details on features we want to develop and use that information to build and execute automated testing strategies for ADP's cloud-based Human Capital Management and benefits solutions. This role is critical to making sure we deploy high-quality, reliable products that clients can trust.

You'll work within an agile team using Cypress, Playwright, MABL, and JavaScript/Cucumber-based automation frameworks to create comprehensive test suites covering end-to-end, integration, API, and accessibility scenarios. You will also leverage Gen AI tools to accelerate test creation, improve coverage analysis, and drive smarter testing strategies. Your role requires you to advocate for necessary changes to improve the end-user experience of our HCM and benefits products.

To thrive in this role, you'll need to be curious, data-driven, and at times persuasive. You'll need to be comfortable working across complex domains including health insurance, employee benefits, and enrollment systems. You'll use your leadership and technical expertise to drive quality standards across the team and mentor junior QA professionals. You will own test automation strategy for your product features — building plans, assigning tasks, identifying gaps, and solving problems. If you are looking for a role that is strictly 9-5, this may not be the job for you. Pace should not scare, and flexibility is a must since testing doesn't always occur during regular business hours. But as part of our team, you'll find exciting challenges, get opportunities to grow your career, and develop solid friendships as we design what's next for ADP and the industry.
