🏢 About Nike
Nike is one of the world’s best-known sportswear and athletic technology companies, with technology playing a major role in its digital commerce, consumer experiences and global operations. This particular opportunity sits within Nike’s Shared Platforms Technology Engineering organization, where engineers build platforms and services that provide product information to Nike’s digital experiences and backend systems. The current Nike careers site lists R-85529 as a Software Engineer II position in Karnataka.
💼 Job Overview
This is not a traditional manual QA position. Nike is looking for a Quality & Automation Engineer who can combine automation engineering, software development, API testing, CI/CD, cloud technologies, observability and modern quality engineering practices. The role involves developing automated tests for functional, regression, integration and API scenarios using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, JUnit and TestNG. You will also work closely with developers, participate in code reviews, troubleshoot failures and improve automation reliability.
⭐ Why This Role Is Excellent for Experienced QA Engineers
This opportunity can significantly strengthen an Automation QA/SDET career because it goes beyond writing Selenium scripts. You would gain exposure to microservices, REST APIs, AWS, CI/CD, observability, performance testing and GenAI-assisted quality engineering.
🔹 Build and maintain enterprise-level automation frameworks
🔹 Work with Playwright, Selenium and Cucumber
🔹 Develop API and integration testing capabilities
🔹 Integrate automation into Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines
🔹 Work with AWS services and distributed systems
🔹 Learn observability using Splunk, Grafana, Kibana and OpenTelemetry
🔹 Explore GenAI-based testing using Cursor, RAG and prompt-driven workflows
🔹 Gain exposure to high-throughput, low-latency and fault-tolerant platforms
This combination makes the position particularly attractive for professionals targeting SDET, Senior SDET, Quality Engineer or QE Lead positions.
🛠️ Skills Required
Core: Selenium, Playwright, Cucumber, JUnit/TestNG, API testing, automation framework development, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript and Python.
Engineering: REST APIs, microservices, Spring Boot, unit testing, Mockito, CI/CD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions and quality gates.
Cloud: AWS services such as ECS, DynamoDB, RDS, S3 and SNS/SQS.
Quality: Functional, regression, integration, reliability, scalability, availability and performance testing.
Monitoring: Splunk, Grafana, Kibana and OpenTelemetry.
Good to have: JMeter, Gatling, OWASP ZAP, mobile testing, eCommerce/supply-chain testing and GenAI-powered QE.
💰 Expected Salary Range
Nike does not publish a salary range for this specific Bengaluru opening in the supplied job description. As a market reference, recent Glassdoor data for Nike Software Engineer II in Bengaluru shows approximately ₹23–39 LPA among reported salaries, while Software Development Engineer II data shows a broader reported range.
For a candidate with strong 3–6+ years of relevant automation/SDET experience, a practical expectation could be around ₹20–35+ LPA, depending on experience, technical depth, interview performance and total compensation structure. Treat this as an estimate, not an official Nike salary figure.
🎯 Expected Nike Interview Rounds
For this Quality & Automation role, expect preparation around:
🔹 Round 1 – Recruiter/Technical Screening: Resume, experience, automation framework and project discussion
🔹 Round 2 – Automation Technical: Selenium/Playwright, framework architecture, API testing and coding
🔹 Round 3 – Engineering/Quality Deep Dive: CI/CD, cloud, microservices, debugging and quality strategy
🔹 Round 4 – Manager/Behavioral: Ownership, collaboration, Agile practices and production incidents
🔹 Possible final/onsite discussion: Depending on the team and hiring process
📚 Preparation Tips
Don’t prepare only Selenium interview questions. Build a small Playwright + API automation framework and explain its architecture, reporting, parallel execution and CI/CD integration. Practice designing a test strategy for a microservice-based order-management system. Be ready to explain how you would investigate a flaky test using logs and observability dashboards. Also prepare one practical example of using GenAI to generate, review or expand automated test cases, because GenAI-based QE acceleration is specifically mentioned in the JD.
📄 Resume Tips
Your resume should immediately communicate Automation + Software Engineering + CI/CD.
🔹 Write measurable achievements such as “reduced regression execution time by 60% through parallel automation.”
🔹 Mention exact frameworks: Playwright/Selenium/Cucumber/TestNG/JUnit.
🔹 Highlight Java/TypeScript/Python programming rather than listing them under generic skills.
🔹 Add API, microservices and AWS experience prominently.
🔹 Mention Jenkins/GitHub Actions and quality gates if applicable.
🔹 Include observability tools such as Splunk/Grafana/Kibana where genuinely experienced.
🔹 If you have GenAI testing experience, create a dedicated GenAI Quality Engineering bullet or project.
