Senior Software Test Engineer - CDC

About the Company

At CP Axtra, we believe quality is an engineering responsibility. Not something owned by a separate QA team. We are looking for a Senior Software Test Engineer to help build that culture. This role is much more than writing automated tests. You'll work alongside Product Owners and software engineers to ensure quality is considered from feature discovery through production. You'll help teams decide what should be tested, where it should be tested, and how it can be automated efficiently. You'll build tools, frameworks, and engineering practices that enable developers to confidently own quality while continuously improving our software delivery process. Remote candidates outside of Thailand are welcome to apply.

Responsibilities

• Define testing strategies for new features and system capabilities.
• Guide engineering teams to apply testing at the right level (unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance).
• Identify quality risks during design and backlog refinement before implementation begins.
• Establish engineering quality standards and continuously improve testing practices across the team.
• Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks.
• Develop automated tests across API, integration, contract, and UI layers.
• Improve CI/CD quality gates to increase deployment confidence.
• Continuously improve test reliability, execution speed, and developer feedback loops.
• Collaborate with Product Owners to refine requirements and ensure stories are testable.
• Help define clear acceptance criteria and identify edge cases early.
• Ensure business workflows can be validated efficiently through automation.
• Coach developers on effective testing practices.
• Review designs and pull requests from a quality perspective.
• Help teams decide what should—and shouldn't—be covered by automated tests.
• Build reusable testing libraries, utilities, and developer tooling.
• Promote Shift Left quality practices across the engineering organization.
• Recommend improvements to our development workflow, automation strategy, and release process.
• Drive adoption of modern quality engineering practices.
• Monitor quality metrics and identify opportunities to reduce production defects.
• Continuously improve developer experience around testing and automation.

What Success Looks Like

• Establish scalable quality engineering practices across our WMS tool.
• Improve developer ownership of testing and quality.
• Increase automation coverage at the most valuable test layers—not simply increase the number of tests.
• Reduce production defects through better engineering practices.
• Improve confidence in every deployment through automation and effective quality gates.
• Help build a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility
