Job description

About the job:

Join a quality-first team where your automation expertise directly shapes reliable, user-friendly digital experiences. In this role, youll build and evolve modern end-to-end test coverage using Playwright, helping teams release with confidence and speed. Youll collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and QA peers to identify risk early, prevent regressions, and continuously improve test strategy and execution. If you enjoy turning complex user journeys into stable, maintainable automated tests—and want the freedom to improve frameworks, reporting, and CI reliability—this is a great opportunity to make a visible impact. You’ll work in a culture that values clean engineering practices, shared ownership of quality, and continuous learning while delivering high-performing automation that scales with the product.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end automated test suites using Playwright aligned to product workflows and risk areas.
• Build reusable test utilities, fixtures, and page-object patterns to improve maintainability and reduce duplication.
• Create and execute automated regression suites, ensuring consistent coverage across critical user journeys.
• Analyze test failures, isolate root causes, and collaborate with engineering teams to drive timely fixes.
• Integrate and optimize automated tests within CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable feedback on every build.
• Define automation best practices, coding standards, and review processes to keep test code clean and scalable.
• Track and report quality metrics (pass rates, flaky tests, defect leakage) and continuously improve test stability.
• Contribute to test planning by identifying automation candidates, prioritizing coverage, and aligning with release timelines.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Engineering degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3–10 years of experience in QA/test automation with strong hands‑on expertise in Playwright testing.
• Proven experience in test automation practices including test design, execution, and maintenance.
• Strong understanding of end-to-end testing concepts, regression strategy, and defect lifecycle management.
• Ability to write clear, maintainable automated tests and collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building or enhancing automation frameworks, including reusable components, reporting, and test data strategies.
• Hands‑on experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD workflows and improving pipeline reliability and speed.
• Strong debugging skills to identify flaky tests, environmental issues, and product defects with clear evidence and logs.
• Exposure to API testing and combining UI + API automation approaches to improve coverage and execution time.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers, drive automation best practices, and improve team-wide quality processes.
