We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented QA Engineer with extensive manual and Automation experience using Playwright. You will be part of a collaborative engineering team focused on ensuring product quality through robust test automation and efficient QA practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive automated testing efforts across the platform (50%-50% manual).
• Contribute to social media reporting initiatives.
• Conduct thorough automation code reviews to maintain high engineering standards.

Manual Testing (≈50%)

• Review requirements, user stories, and designs to identify gaps, edge cases, and testability concerns early in the sprint.
• Write and maintain clear test plans, test cases, and checklists in BrowserStack Test Management.
• Perform functional, exploratory, regression, smoke, and UAT-support testing across web and mobile.
• Execute cross-browser and cross-device testing, including responsive layouts and real-device checks.
• Validate APIs and back-end behavior manually (e.g., Postman) to support UI findings.
• Reproduce, document, and triage defects with clear steps, evidence (screenshots, videos, logs), severity, and priority.
• Partner with Product and Development during sprint ceremonies to clarify acceptance criteria and sign off on releases.

Test Automation with Playwright (≈50%)

• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end and API automated tests using Playwright with TypeScript.
• Apply maintainable framework patterns (Page Object Model, fixtures, reusable helpers, test data management).
• Identify which manual test cases should be automated and convert stable, high-value scenarios into automated regression coverage.
• Investigate and fix flaky tests using Playwright Trace Viewer, logs, screenshots, and video.
• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines with parallel execution and run cross-browser tests on BrowserStack Automate.
• Report automation results and quality metrics (coverage, pass rate, defect trends) to the team and stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with Playwright using TypeScript
• Proficiency in Playwright Trace Debugging
• Experience with BrowserStack Test Management
• Experience with BrowserStack Automate
• Proven ability to scope and implement automation requirements for new features

• Skilled in reporting, tracking, and triaging bugs, and solving complex technical problems
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with meticulous attention to detail
• Solid experience in manual testing: test case design, exploratory testing, regression, and smoke testing
• Strong knowledge of QA methodologies and test design techniques (boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, risk-based testing)
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and with defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira)
• Hands-on experience with API testing, both manual (Postman or similar) and automated (Playwright API testing)
• Comfortable with Git, code reviews, and pull request workflows
• Advanced English, written and spoken
