Job summary

Smart Working is seeking a QA Automation Engineer to own quality across a large, multi‑repo digital health platform. You will build the automated test framework hands‑on, define expected behaviour, and improve reliability from an existing baseline.

You’ll work with a four‑person engineering team, collaborate with stakeholders, and author Cucumber scenarios in Gherkin while building automation in JavaScript/TypeScript.

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 with 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.

Responsibilities

• Own the quality process end to end and build the automated test framework hands‑on.
• Understand how a large, roughly 10‑year, multi‑repo system works and how it should work from client, end‑user and internal operations perspectives.
• 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.
