Job summary

Smart Working is recruiting a QA Automation Engineer to own quality across a mature, multi-repository digital health platform, building and maintaining a robust automation framework and improving test coverage for reliable releases.

You will collaborate with a small engineering team, translating business requirements into automated tests using Cucumber, TypeScript/JavaScript, Playwright, and a page object model, ensuring scalable, secure delivery.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of QA or test automation hands-on with TypeScript or JavaScript.
• 4+ years of hands-on test automation coding in TypeScript or JavaScript.
• 2+ years of BDD test authoring with Cucumber and Gherkin.
• 3+ years of web UI test automation using a page object model, preferably Playwright.
• 2+ years of end-to-end QA ownership, including defining, documenting, building and maintaining tests.
• 3+ years of requirements analysis and stakeholder communication.
• 2+ years of SQL querying to validate database state, using MySQL or PostgreSQL.
• 3+ years of exploratory testing and precise multi-step defect reproduction.
• Hands-on JavaScript or TypeScript automation coding is non-negotiable; willingness to learn is not sufficient.

Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of the quality assurance process, designing and developing the automated testing framework.
• Understand how a large, multi-repo system works and how it should work from client, end-user and internal operations perspectives.
• Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.
• Author English-readable scenarios in Cucumber and Gherkin.
• Build automation in JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Drive the UI through a page object model.
• Add data-test-ids to React code where missing.
• Validate correct database state using SQL.
• Maintain the automated tests as new features arrive.
• Feed into requirements upfront as new features are planned.
• Flag compliance, regulatory and security implications.
• Run exploratory testing to identify where the product behaves incorrectly.
• Improve reliability and enable faster, safer releases through automation.
• Reproduce multi-step defects precisely and identify edge cases.
• Build a repeatable, documented QA process from an unreliable baseline.
• Work out how the system should behave across multiple user perspectives and how it might break.
