Verita Software; United States; Remote; USD 29,000 - 37,000; Full time

Job summary

Verita Software is seeking a Senior Automation Engineer to build production browser automation using Playwright and TypeScript. This hands-on role focuses on delivering reliable, secure bots that run against real web applications, with emphasis on maintainability and observability.

Work is remote with IST night shift aligning to US Eastern hours; ideal candidates have 4+ years in automation and strong skills in Playwright, TypeScript, REST APIs, and secure credential handling.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of software development or automation engineering experience.
• 2+ years of hands-on Playwright experience; Puppeteer experience is also relevant.
• Strong programming skills in TypeScript or JavaScript (Node.js).
• Strong understanding of Playwright fundamentals: locators, auto-waiting, browser contexts, session/storage state, network handling, and tracing.
• Experience building automation that runs in production (bots, scrapers, or data extraction pipelines), not only test suites.
• Experience with REST APIs, JSON, and working knowledge of SQL.
• Experience with Git and code reviews.
• Understanding of secure credential handling and sensitive-data practices in automation.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Clear written and spoken English.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain production browser automation using Playwright (TypeScript/Node.js).
• Build bots that handle real-world conditions: login and session management, slow or unavailable portals, UI changes, and unexpected data.
• Implement robust error handling, retry logic, and clear exception reporting so failed items are captured and reprocessed rather than lost.
• Build supporting components: job scheduling, work queues, logging, monitoring, and alerting for failed runs.
• Handle credentials and data securely. Use a credential vault, never hardcode secrets, and keep PHI out of logs, screenshots, and traces.
• Integrate automations with APIs, databases, and internal services, and prefer API or EDI integrations over UI automation where they're available.
• Write clean, reusable, well-documented code. Use Git, participate in code reviews, and follow team engineering standards.
• Troubleshoot production failures quickly, and improve the stability of existing bots.
• Work with the Quality Analyst and business teams to understand workflows and validate bot outputs.
