Dewpoint; Farmington Hills (MI); On-site; USD 100,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Dewpoint in Lansing, MI is seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer to implement Playwright automation, API testing, SQL validation, and exploratory testing. You will write maintainable TypeScript and contribute to automation architecture beyond recording scripts.

The role uses Playwright with TypeScript, GitHub Copilot, Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Oracle. You will collaborate with developers, product owners, and testers to improve the automation suite and drive test coverage across UI and REST APIs.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience using Playwright with TypeScript for UI and API automation.
• Strong TypeScript programming fundamentals for maintainable automation.
• Experience designing maintainable automation—not simply creating test scripts.
• Experience testing modern web applications, preferably Angular.
• Experience testing Java-based REST APIs.
• Strong understanding of HTTP, REST, JSON, authentication, response validation, and negative API testing.
• SQL experience for backend data validation, preferably with Oracle.
• Experience executing automated tests through Jenkins or another CI/CD platform.
• Experience with Git-based source control and collaborative development workflows.
• Ability to diagnose failures across the UI, API, database, test code, test data, and environment layers.
• Experience with exploratory and manual testing in addition to automation.
• Ability to work independently and communicate defects and quality risks clearly.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain UI and API automated tests using Playwright and TypeScript.
• Expand the existing Playwright framework and establish reusable fixtures, API clients, utilities, and coding standards.
• Create automated coverage for Angular applications and Java-based REST APIs.
• Integrate and execute automated tests through Jenkins.
• Investigate failures using Playwright traces, application logs, network activity, API responses, and SQL.
• Validate application processing and data using Oracle SQL. Perform exploratory, functional, integration, regression, and risk-based manual testing.
• Review requirements and acceptance criteria for gaps, edge cases, risks, and testability.
• Collaborate with developers, product owners, and testers throughout story development.
• Participate in code reviews and improve the reliability and maintainability of the automation suite.
• Identify flaky, redundant, slow, or low-value tests and address underlying causes.
