Job Summary
Position Overview:
Were looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer who is passionate about building reliable software through automation-first testing. In this role youll design create manage execute and automate test suites across web and mobile applications partnering closely with product design and engineering. Youll leverage Playwright and modern CI/CD practices in Azure DevOps/GitHub with deployments and environments spanning AWS and Azure. We are initiating AI-assisted test automation on the team so experience in AI tools is a plus. Youll be part of a fast-paced collaborative team driven by a startup mindset and focused on delivering innovative solutions.
What Youll Do
- Design build and maintain automated test suites for web and mobile using Playwright (or alternatives like: Cypress or Puppeteer) and Appium (mobile) emphasizing reliability maintainability and speed.
- Create comprehensive test strategies (functional regression integration end-to-end cross-browser/device accessibility performance).
- Shift-left testing: Collaborate with developers on unit & API test strategies; participate in story grooming acceptance criteria refinement and testability reviews.
- Build CI/CD quality gates in Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions; integrate test results flaky-test detection and quality metrics dashboards.
- Manage test environments and data across AWS & Azure including test fixtures mocking and service virtualization.
- Execute and triage automated and exploratory tests; isolate defects with clear repro steps logs video and screenshots.
- Continuously improve UX quality: Validate usability accessibility (WCAG) responsiveness and visual consistency; partner with design for testable UI patterns.
- Contribute to standards: Coding style page object models fixtures test data strategies reliability practices and documentation.
- Leverage modern tooling (e.g. BrowserStack/Sauce Labs) for cross-device coverage; use AI-assisted tools for generating test cases locators and flakiness analysis where appropriate.
- Metrics & reporting: Track and communicate coverage defect leakage mean time to detect/resolve (MTTD/MTTR) flaky-test rate and release readiness.
Must-Have Qualifications
- 4 years of QA/Quality Engineering experience focused on test automation.
- Proficiency in QA automation and scripting languages (Python pytest Locust and Playwright experience preferred for T2) OR (TS K6 and Playwright experience preferred)
- Solid experience with Azure DevOps (pipelines test plans) and/or GitHub (Actions pull request checks) including integrating automated tests into CI/CD.
- Practical knowledge of cloud environments: provisioning test environments secrets management and pipelines in AWS and Azure.
- Experience automating tests for mobile apps (at least one: Appium Detox Espresso or XCTest).
- Proficiency with API testing (e.g. Playwright API Postman/Newman REST/GraphQL) and contract testing (e.g. Pact).
- Familiarity with cross-browser/device testing using BrowserStack or Sauce Labs.
- Strong debugging skills: network tab HARs logs tracing screenshots/videos and root-cause analysis.
- Attention to UX: usability visual consistency and responsive behavior.
- Experience with agile practices (Scrum/Kanban) story refinement acceptance criteria and defect lifecycle.
Nice-to-Have / Preferred
- AI-assisted testing exposure (e.g. AI-generated test cases locator resilience self-healing tests or ML-based flakiness detection).
- Performance testing (e.g. k6 Lighthouse WebPageTest) and basic security testing familiarity (OWASP Top 10 awareness).
- Component-level testing (e.g. Playwright component testing React Testing Library).
- Experience with observability/telemetry (CloudWatch Application Insights) using logs/metrics/traces to drive quality.
- Basic scripting in Python/Node for test utilities; MongoDB and SQL for test data setup/validation.
- Experience with Android Automotive OS application testing a plus
Success Indicators (First 90180 Days)
- Establish stable fast Playwright suites integrated into CI with clear pass/fail gates.
- Reduce flaky tests and improve signal-to-noise in pipelines; measure and report trends.
- Achieve reliable coverage for critical user journeys across web and mobile.
- Implement accessibility checks and baseline performance thresholds in the pipeline.
- Partner with design/product to improve acceptance criteria and testability of UX flows.
- Demonstrate impact via metrics: reduced defect leakage faster release cycles confident rollback/roll-forward patterns.
Education
- BS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
