Job summary

Smart Working is a remote-first company that values a genuine community and growth. The QA Automation Engineer will own quality across a large, multi-repo health platform, building the automated test framework hands-on and improving reliability for faster, safer releases.

You will collaborate with a four-person engineering team, write Cucumber scenarios in English, implement automation in TypeScript/JavaScript, and drive a robust end-to-end testing strategy as new features arrive.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in 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.
• Ability to drive automation and own the build with limited direction.
• Strong detail orientation, including the ability to spot edge cases and gaps in specifications.
• Hands-on JavaScript or TypeScript automation coding is non-negotiable; willingness to learn is not sufficient.

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.
• Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.
• 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.
