Job summary

Dewpoint is seeking a hands-on Quality Engineer specializing in Playwright-based automation to join our team in Michigan. You will develop UI and API tests in TypeScript, extend the automation framework, and collaborate with developers, product owners, and testers to improve coverage and quality.

The role emphasizes maintainable automation, exploration, and data validation using Oracle SQL, with CI/CD through Jenkins and Git-based workflows.

Qualifications

Hands-on Playwright with TypeScript for UI and API automation.
Strong TypeScript fundamentals.
Experience designing maintainable automation—not simply creating test scripts.
Experience testing modern web applications, preferably Angular.
Experience testing Java-based REST APIs.
Strong understanding of HTTP, REST, JSON, authentication, response validation, and negative API testing.
SQL experience for backend data validation, preferably with Oracle.
Experience executing automated tests through Jenkins or another CI/CD platform.
Experience with Git-based source control and collaborative development workflows.
Ability to diagnose failures across the UI, API, database, test code, test data, and environment layers.
Experience with exploratory and manual testing in addition to automation.
Ability to work independently and communicate defects and quality risks clearly.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain UI and API automated tests using Playwright and TypeScript.
Expand the existing Playwright framework and establish reusable fixtures, API clients, utilities, and coding standrads.
Create automated coverage for Angular applications and Java based REST APIs.
Integrate and execute automated tests through Jenkins.
Investigate failures using Playwright traces, application logs, network activity, API responses, and SQL.
Validate application processing and data using Oracle SQL. Perform exploratory, functional, integration, recession, and risk-based manual testing.
Review requirements and acceptance criteria for gaps, edge cases, risks, and testability.
Collaborative with developers, product owners, and testers throughout story development.
Participate in code reviews and improve the reliability and maintainability of the automation suite.
Identify flake, redundant, slow, or low-value tests and address their underlying causes.
