We are seeking a highly skilled Senior UiPath Developer - Test Automation Engineer to design, build, and maintain a sustainable test automation framework supporting federal automation initiatives. This role is hands-on, responsible for creating reusable components, implementing regression suites, and integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to ensure automations remain stable and reliable across deployments.
The outcome: every code change, enhancement, or platform upgrade can be validated automatically, reducing manual testing effort and ensuring faster, higher-quality delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Framework & Development

• Design and implement a reusable test automation framework for UiPath automations and supporting coded workflows (C#, Python, Java).
• Build reusable test components that reduce the effort needed to validate multiple automations.
• Implement data-driven, parameterized test cases and API-based validations.

Regression & Unit Testing

• Develop and maintain comprehensive regression test suites triggered automatically on GitHub code check-ins.
• Implement unit tests for core automation functions (e.g., authentication, spreadsheet operations, REST API calls).
• Validate new features, enhancements, or platform changes (e.g., .NET or UiPath upgrades) against existing automations.

CI/CD Integration

• Integrate automated tests into Jenkins/GitHub pipelines for continuous validation.
• Configure automated test runs on builds before promotion to higher environments.
• Generate reporting and dashboards to track pass/fail trends, coverage, and defects.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Work closely with UiPath developers, solution architects, and DevOps engineers to ensure testability is designed into automations.
• Share knowledge, document framework usage, and enable other developers to leverage common test components.
• Support cross-team alignment by contributing to standardized test practices across the program.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in UiPath development with experience in test automation frameworks.
• Hands-on coding skills in C# (preferred), Python, or Java for testing and validation.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar).
• Familiarity with mocking frameworks and test-driven development (TDD/BDD).
• Ability to design and build reusable test components that scale across multiple automations.
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and DevOps practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with IRS or other federal automation programs.
• Exposure to containerization/orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes) for test environments.
• Knowledge of platform upgrade testing strategies (e.g., .NET version migrations, UiPath platform upgrades).
• Prior experience testing large automation portfolios (50+ automations).
