Senior Automation Engineer

At realfast.ai, we deliver superhuman quality at superhuman speed. We're building the first truly AI-native Salesforce implementation partner - not by replacing humans, but by amplifying what makes them exceptional.

Our Exo platform automates tedious work like unit testing and configuration management, giving developers 15-20 hours back per week for high-value work.

We only hire the best: developers who can leverage AI to focus on architecture, strategy, and complex problem-solving while shipping production-grade solutions faster than traditional consulting firms.

We're backed by PeakXV Partners (formerly Sequoia India & SEA) and RTP Global, and we're transforming how enterprise Salesforce implementations get built.

A quality-obsessed automation engineer who can build robust test automation like hell but also understands what makes businesses tick.

You'll work directly with the founders and platform teams, building comprehensive QA automation across web, API, and AI systems while creating productivity tools that enable both our engineering and services teams. This isn't about writing test scripts in isolation – it's about building automation platforms that ensure quality at scale and move the needle on metrics that customers actually care about.

• Build automation frameworks from the ground up for web, API, CLI, and AI system testing

  Design and implement QA automation for our SaaS products (Exo Help, Exo Code) and platform infrastructure

  Create AI testing infrastructure including eval suites, prompt testing scenarios, and non-deterministic system validation

  Build QA productivity tools that help Salesforce QA teams work more efficiently within the Salesforce ecosystem

  Write functional test suites covering API endpoints, web interfaces, and backend services

  Prototype and ideate automation solutions that enhance developer and QA productivity

  Collaborate across teams - you'll work closely with platform engineers, AI engineers, and services teams

  Champion quality by establishing automation best practices and testing standards

  Have the freedom to explore new automation technologies and AI testing patterns that might lead to our next breakthrough

  What you'll bring

  • 5-8 years of hands-on automation experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks

    Web automation mastery - expert with Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar modern frameworks

    API testing expertise - deep experience automating REST/GraphQL APIs and building comprehensive test suites

    Strong programming skills (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar) - you write maintainable, production-quality test code

    Framework architecture - you've built test automation frameworks from scratch, not just written scripts

    CI/CD integration - experience integrating automation into deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI)

    AI system testing - experience or strong interest in testing AI/ML systems, writing eval suites, prompt testing

    Multiple test layers - experience across unit, integration, e2e, API, and web UI testing

    Test design patterns - solid understanding of testing pyramids, Page Object Model, and quality metrics

    Salesforce ecosystem familiarity - knowledge of Salesforce testing tools and QA workflows (good to have)

    Cross-functional collaboration - comfortable working with developers, AI engineers, and business stakeholders

    Quality advocacy - can articulate the value of automation and testing to any audience

    Self-starter mentality - thrives in ambiguous environments without detailed specifications

    Platform thinking - natural inclination toward building reusable automation solutions

    Continuous learner - avid reader who stays current with automation and AI testing trends

    This role is for you if

    • You're a quality champion who loves building automation that catches bugs before customers see them

      You're excited about AI testing challenges - evaluating prompts, testing non-deterministic systems, building eval infrastructure

      You want to build automation platforms that enable teams to ship faster with confidence

      You're interested in the business impact of quality automation, not just test coverage numbers

      You want to wear multiple hats - automation architect, framework builder, productivity tool creator, quality advocate

      You thrive in 0-1 environments where you can build automation practices from the ground up

      You can quickly prove value through automation that prevents production issues

      You're comfortable with rapid changes in technology stack and testing requirements

      This role is NOT for you if

      • You want a strictly defined role with clear boundaries between QA, automation, and development

        You need detailed test cases written for you before you can automate

        You need extensive guidance and structure to identify what should be tested

        You're looking for a purely manual testing position without building automation

        You prefer to specialize deeply in one testing tool rather than being versatile across the stack

        You're uncomfortable with rapid changes in direction and technology choices

        You prefer maintaining existing test suites over building new automation frameworks from scratch

        You want to manage people (this is a senior IC role, we need your hands on the code)
