Ally and Your Career

Ally Financial only succeeds when its people do - and that's more than some cliche people put on job postings. We live this stuff! We see our people as, well, people - with interests, families, friends, dreams, and causes that are all important to them. Our focus is on the health and safety of our teammates as well as work-life balance and diversity and inclusion. From generous benefits to a variety of employee resource groups, we strive to build paths that encourage employees to stretch themselves professionally. We want to help you grow, develop, and learn new things. You're constantly evolving, so shouldn't your opportunities be, too?

The Opportunity

At Ally, you get a startup feel, but experience the benefits of a company that's worked out the kinks and is fulfilling its purpose. We're always evolving and see that as a good thing. From owning our work to seeing its impact in the real-world, our team is relentless in finding new ways technology can help make experiences better and help people. We are problem solvers, we value diverse thinking, we support one another, and we challenge ourselves to think bigger in the journey to deliver customer-obsessed tech solutions.

The Sr. Automation Engineer will leverage their expertise in designing test scenarios, feature files, and test scripts to support quality automation objectives for the Advantage Program that allow Ally customers to work smarter.

The Work Itself

• Design, build, and execute test automation scripts for UI and API testing in a web-based environment in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
• Develop test scenarios, feature files, and test scripts based on user stories
• Recommend techniques and methodologies needed to enhance productivity and quality
• Collaborate with product owners for user story clarification, backlog grooming, story sizing, sprint planning, task breakdown, design, development, and testing
• Exert influence on the overall vision and long-range goals of your team
• Serve as a mentor for other engineers and peers to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers

The Skills You Bring

• 3+ years of professional experience in automation scripting and testing integration
• Possess robust analytical thinking skills to debug, identify, and resolve issues. We work mostly with Cypress, Javascript, and SQL, however, technologies can be learned: we care much more about your general automation engineering skill than knowledge of a particular technology
• Enthusiasm for staying up-to-date on tech industry developments and engaging the Ally community on new advancements
• Desire to work within a diverse group of people and passion for challenging the status quo
• Experience with rapid, iterative development cycles and continuous integration and continuous deployment technologies
