Planit – An NRI Company
Where Quality Is Seen, Not Heard
At Planit, quality isn’t a checkbox - it’s a craft. As part of NRI, we combine global scale with deep local expertise to deliver quality engineering and testing services you can see, trust, and measure.
With 1,500+ Quality Engineering specialists and delivery models that adapt to every client’s needs, Planit offers the perfect blend of reach, reliability, and innovation.
About the Role
You’ll join a team that believes that testing can be: Automation First, AI Augmented, and Value-led.
Our mission is simple: unlock the true value of quality in every delivery. Clients are shipping faster, with more complex architectures and less tolerance for defects — so we build intelligent, visible, value-driven automation that reduces risk and improves customer experience.
About you
You can already deliver working automation in real delivery teams, and you’re ready to grow your consulting craft, engineering depth, and confidence with AI-assisted approaches — supported by frameworks, coaching, and a community of experts.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain sustainable automated tests and supporting artifacts across API, services, UI and data layers – selecting the right layer for the risk.
- Engineer automation that fits modern delivery: CI/CD, reliable pipelines fast feedback.
- Apply AI responsibly to enhance test design, analysis, maintenance and orchestration.
- Contribute to or leverage frameworks, starter kits, accelerators and patterns to delivery consistent outcomes
- Work closely with team members on your client site to improve confidence and release safety.
- Engage with the automation practice at Planit to learn and grow, and to help others around you do the same.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong hands-on experience with open-source test automation (Selenium, Playwright, Webdriver.io...). You can set up your development environment from scratch without help, understanding your IDE and your SCM.
- Experience designing and integrating automation within CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Octopus, GitHub, etc.)
- Solid experience building automation frameworks (not just using existing tools)
- Experience working across enterprise SaaS / web-based platforms
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure or GCP)
- Great stakeholder engagement skills across technical and non-technical audiences
- A quality engineering mindset: you care about risk, coverage, observability and maintainability.
- Curiosity about AI-assisted testing (prompting, test design support, analytics) and a responsible approach to using it.
- Consulting behaviours: clear communication, collaboration, and the ability to understand client context and constraints.
