About the Role

We are looking for a Test Architect - Playwright to lead and scale our automation strategy with Playwright as the core framework. This role is ideal for a highly hands-on automation expert who has architected robust Playwright frameworks and can drive modern, scalable, CI/CD-integrated testing practices.

The Test Architect will act as the technical authority for automation architecture, governance, and best practices — ensuring high-quality, reliable, and maintainable automation across projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement end-to-end automation solutions using Playwright across UI, API, and integrated systems.
• Design and build scalable, reusable Playwright frameworks using modern design patterns (POM, fixtures, custom utilities, modular architecture).
• Establish automation standards, folder structures, naming conventions, and governance models.
• Integrate Playwright automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab).
• Implement reporting, logging, debugging, and observability best practices.
• Collaborate with Dev, DevOps, and Product teams to enable shift-left testing.
• Provide technical mentorship to automation engineers and conduct framework/code reviews.
• Evaluate and recommend complementary tools (API automation, mocking, test data management).
• Explore and implement AI-assisted testing techniques (self-healing locators, intelligent test generation, flaky test detection).

Mandatory Skills & Experience

• 8+ years of experience in automation engineering.
• Proven experience designing and scaling Playwright frameworks from scratch.
• Strong understanding of:
  • Fixtures and custom test setup in Playwright
  • Parallel execution and performance optimization
  • Cross-browser automation strategies
  • API automation using Playwright or REST libraries
• Deep knowledge of:
  • CI/CD integration
  • Git workflows
  • Automation reporting tools
• Experience working in Agile environments with DevOps alignment.

Preferred / Good to Have

• Experience with performance testing tools (JMeter, Gatling, etc.)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) for automation execution
• Exposure to Kubernetes-based test environments
• Experience in cloud platforms (Azure / AWS / GCP)
• Exposure to AI-powered automation enhancements
• Basic understanding of front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue)

What We’re Looking For

• A hands-on architect, not just a reviewer.
• Someone who can own automation strategy end-to-end.
• Strong communicator who can influence engineering standards.
• Problem solver with a modern automation mindset.
