Job summary

Kforce is seeking a QA Automation Engineer in Mesa, AZ to design, build, and maintain automated test suites for web and mobile apps using Playwright and Appium. You will collaborate with product, design, and engineering to implement robust test strategies, automate APIs, and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.

Experience with AWS/Azure cloud environments, cross-browser testing, and AI-assisted testing is highly valued.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of QA/Quality Engineering experience focused on test automation.
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript preferred) for web UI, API, and component testing.
• Solid experience with Azure DevOps (pipelines, test plans) and/or GitHub (Actions, pull request checks), including integrating automated tests into CI/CD.
• Experience automating tests for mobile apps (at least one: Appium, Detox, Espresso, or XCTest).
• Experience with agile practices (Scrum/Kanban), story refinement, acceptance criteria, and defect lifecycle.
• Practical knowledge of cloud environments: provisioning test environments, secrets management, and pipelines in AWS and Azure.
• Familiarity with cross-browser/device testing using BrowserStack or Sauce Labs.
• Proficiency with API testing (e.g., Playwright API, Postman/Newman, REST/GraphQL) and contract testing (e.g., Pact).
• Strong debugging skills: network tab, HARs, logs, tracing, screenshots/videos, and root-cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for web and mobile using Playwright (or alternatives like Cypress or Puppeteer) and Appium (mobile).
• Collaborate with developers on unit & API test strategies; participate in story grooming, acceptance criteria refinement, and testability reviews.
• Build CI/CD quality gates in Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions; integrate test results, flaky-test detection, and quality metrics dashboards.
• Manage test environments and data across AWS & Azure, including test fixtures, mocking, and service virtualization.
• Execute and triage automated and exploratory tests; isolate defects with clear repro steps, logs, video, and screenshots.
• Validate usability, accessibility (WCAG), responsiveness, and visual consistency; partner with design for testable UI patterns.
• Coding style, page object models, fixtures, test data strategies, reliability practices, and documentation.
• Leverage modern tooling for cross-device coverage; use AI-assisted tools for generating test cases, locators, and flakiness analysis.
