🏢 About Enverus

Enverus is a leading energy SaaS company focused on accelerating investment in efficient, renewable energy development and distribution. Their mission-driven approach combines technology with sustainability, making them unique in the energy tech space. Working here means contributing directly to the clean energy transition while building cutting-edge software solutions.

About This Role

This Senior QA Automation Engineer role involves developing and maintaining test automation solutions using WebdriverIO, creating CI pipelines, and supporting product teams with automation expertise. You'll be instrumental in ensuring the reliability of software that powers renewable energy investments, making this role impactful by directly supporting Enverus's mission through robust quality assurance.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves developing new WebdriverIO automation features, troubleshooting test failures in CI pipelines, and collaborating with product teams to enhance their automation capabilities. You might spend time investigating automation issues, updating test frameworks, and providing guidance to QA engineers on best practices for test automation.

🎯 Who Enverus Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of hands-on experience specifically with test automation framework maintenance/development, not just test execution
  • Demonstrates strong JavaScript/TypeScript programming skills with practical experience in WebdriverIO (preferred), Cypress, or Playwright
  • Possesses proven experience with CI tools like GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps and extensive API testing capabilities
  • Exhibits excellent communication skills with experience training others in coding and test automation, crucial for this supportive role

📝 Tips for Applying to Enverus

1

Highlight specific WebdriverIO experience in your resume - this is their stated framework and mentioning alternatives without WebdriverIO could hurt your chances

2

3

Mention any renewable energy or SaaS industry experience, as Enverus specifically works in this niche

4

Include examples of training or mentoring other QA engineers in automation, as this is explicitly mentioned in the job description

5

Prepare to discuss your CI/CD pipeline creation experience with specific tools like GitHub Actions, which they mentioned

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience with WebdriverIO framework maintenance and development (not just usage)', 'Specific examples of creating and optimizing CI pipelines for test automation', "How you've previously supported and trained other QA engineers in automation", "Why you're passionate about contributing to renewable energy technology through quality assurance"]
