Job description

A company that develops custom marketing tools that help B2B service providers drive traffic, onboard users, and retain customers at scale is looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to join its team and help drive the quality of the company's web products end to end, with a strong focus on building, scaling, and maintaining its automation infrastructure.

The company partners with companies that support leading B2C brands in marketing, operations, customer service, and user engagement-equipping them with the tools to reach massive audiences and deliver measurable results. The company's solutions power the full funnel: from precision outreach to seamless activation and long-term retention. With a team of top-tier developers and deep expertise in social media marketing, the company delivers the infrastructure behind the success of leading digital experiences. The company enables its clients to tap into networks of hundreds of thousands of influencers and launch campaigns that move fast, go wide, and truly convert.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role focused on E2E, smoke, and regression test automation, working alongside an active manual testing effort. You'll be a key technical contributor in the company's transition toward a more automated QA process.

You’ll help shape the company's automation strategy, contribute to testing standards, and lead automated testing efforts while collaborating closely with the wider QA and development teams. This role involves direct contact with stakeholders across the company and suits a self-reliant, senior individual who thrives with a high degree of autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain a scalable automated test framework (Playwright TypeScript) covering critical user flows and integrations, including E2E, smoke, and critical-path tests.
• Build automations using AI tools and agents to accelerate test generation, debugging, and framework maintenance.
• Contribute to the test automation strategy for the company's web products and help define automation quality standards and best practices.
• Collaborate with and mentor teammates on automation best practices and framework usage to ensure shared ownership.
• Work alongside the active manual testing effort, helping identify which cases to automate and coordinating coverage across manual and automated testing.
• Support release readiness, including risk assessment, automation execution, and go / no-go decisions.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Developers, and stakeholders to clarify requirements and identify automation risks early.
• Continuously improve QA processes, tooling, and coverage based on product and team needs.
• Support occasional release windows or urgent production validations when required.

Requirements

• 5 years of experience in QA for web products, with a heavy emphasis on test automation.
• Playwright TypeScript hands-on experience (big advantage), or equivalent Selenium / Cypress experience (Python, Java, or JavaScript) and a proven ability to ramp up quickly.
• Hands-on experience building automations using AI tools and agents (e.g., test generation, debugging assistance, automation maintenance).
• Deep understanding of web and client-server fundamentals (HTTP, authentication/session management, browser behavior).
• Strong debugging and validation skills using Postman / Swagger, browser DevTools, logs, and monitoring tools.
• Cross-functional experience working with Product and Engineering in release-driven environments.
• Experience with Jira (or similar tools).
• Strong English communication skills (written and spoken).
• CI/CD integration experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).

What They Offer

• A senior, high-ownership role with direct influence on the technical direction of quality.
• Meaningful ownership of the company's automation, E2E, and regression strategy.
• Exceptional growth opportunity to evolve into designing and building complex QA systems and infrastructure.
• Opportunity to shape how QA and Engineering collaborate on quality.
• Exposure to and experimentation with AI-driven tools and agents in testing and development workflows.
• Collaboration with strong Product and Engineering teams.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
