• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, providing fast feedback and reliable releases.
• Perform manual testing when needed to validate complex scenarios and complement automation.
• Contribute to improving testing frameworks, increasing coverage, reliability, and speed.
• Identify gaps, propose new testing tools or approaches, and share best practices with your SDET peer.
• Document issues clearly, communicate findings effectively, and work with product and engineering teams to ensure bugs are resolved before release.

Skills you should HODL

• Strong programming experience in TypeScript; Python or Ruby is a plus.
• Expertise in Playwright for automation; experience with other frameworks (Cypress, Selenium) is a plus.
• Extensive experience in UI and API test automation in Agile environments.
• Solid understanding of QA processes: bug tracking, test documentation, non-functional testing, security testing, and black-box testing.
• Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Comfortable working autonomously within a collaborative SDET team, sharing knowledge and improving frameworks.
• Creative mindset: can identify edge cases, gaps, and potential failure points.
