Zusammenfassung

Jobtailor is seeking a senior test automation engineer to build and optimize AI-driven test workflows using Claude Code and other AI agents. You will advance Playwright-based testing, implement page-object patterns, fixtures, and conventions, and integrate tests into GitLab CI/CD with quality gates.

You will drive migration from legacy tools, improve feedback loops, and help reduce defects through scalable automation.

Qualifikationen

• Minimum 10 years in test automation engineering or equivalent.
• Hands-on with agentic AI tools to generate and maintain code at scale.
• Proficient with Playwright or similar end-to-end testing framework.
• Strong TS/JS production-quality coding skills.
• Experience with GitLab CI/CD and merge request workflows.
• Solid REST API testing knowledge; API vs UI testing decisions.
• Experience migrating legacy test automation to modern frameworks.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Aufgaben

• Build and improve AI-driven test automation workflows using Claude Code and AI agents.
• Evolve the Playwright test framework with patterns, page objects, fixtures, and conventions.
• Create feedback loops between local tests, CI results, and MR creation.
• Drive migration from Geb/Spock to Playwright while keeping coverage.
• Integrate Playwright execution in GitLab CI/CD with quality gates.
• Optimize test feedback via parallelization and caching.
• Instrument tests to report pass/fail trends, flakiness, and coverage gaps.
• Prioritize AI-driven test generation for high-value areas.
• Identify cases for API-layer contracts instead of end-to-end tests.
• Collaborate with QA, Engineering, and Product to increase regression coverage.
