Job description

We are looking for an Automation QA Engineer (Web/Admin) to join our live-streaming platform team.

Our live-streaming platform connects 400K+ monthly active users through live events, interactive video experiences, and real-time community features. The QA team is at the core of how we ship fast and ship right: you’ll be joining a squad of 13 QA specialists across platforms and backend, working closely with 4 development teams and their tech leads. Web automation is the next frontier we’re actively building out — and this role is where that happens. If you care about test architecture, not just test coverage, and want to see your work directly impact a product used by hundreds of thousands of real users, this is the right move.

About our product: We are building one of the most powerful live-streaming platforms, already connecting 400K+ monthly active users through live events, interactive video chats, and real-time community experiences. Our mission is bold: bring joy, fight loneliness, and deliver safe, ad-free entertainment that keeps people coming back. This is a complex, fast-moving space, and we love it that way. We are among the Top 5 streaming products in the US and rank in the Top 10 worldwide. Our next milestone: break into the global Top 5, and we are moving fast to make it happen.

In this role, you will

• Develop, maintain, and extend automated test suites (UI, API, E2E) using Playwright and TypeScript
• Ensure and improve regression coverage for existing and newly delivered features
• Maintain test automation framework stability, including refactoring and improving test reliability
• Investigate test failures, identify root causes across UI, API, data, and environment layers, and support debugging together with developers
• Participate in feature analysis and planning, helping define what should be automated and at what level (UI vs API vs integration)

It’s all about you

• 1+ years of experience as an Automation QA Engineer with web
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript
• Commercial experience with Playwright and solid understanding of UI test automation best practices
• Experience designing and maintaining test automation architecture using Page Object Model patterns and reusable test utilities
• Practical experience writing and maintaining API and E2E automated tests
• Strong understanding of REST API principles: HTTP methods, status codes, headers, authentication, request/response validation
• Knowledge of SQL and practical experience with database validation in test scenarios
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated test execution within the delivery process
• Solid understanding of the software testing lifecycle, test design techniques, and experience working with test documentation
• Understanding of core programming principles: OOP, SOLID, clean code practices
• Experience with Git and understanding of Git Flow / branching strategies
• Ability to analyze requirements, identify test coverage gaps, and choose the right level of automation for a feature
• Intermediate English level or above

Would be a plus

• Experience with WebdriverIO, Appium, or Appium Inspector
• Background in marketing or analytics testing
• Experience working with Claude Code
