Summary

This hands-on quality engineering position combines Playwright automation API testing SQL validation exploratory testing and targeted manual testing. Candidates must be capable of writing maintainable TypeScript and contributing to automation architecture - not simply recording or modifying test scripts. Our primary tools include Playwright with TypeScript GitHub Copikot Jenkins Bitbucket and Oracle.

Key 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.

AI - Assisted Quality Engineering

SDETs are expected to use GitHub Copilot and other approved AI capabilities in their daily work to improve speed coverage and effectiveness. This includes:

• Generating and refining Playwright TypeScript tests for UI and API scenarios.
• Identifying missing scenarios edge cases negative paths and requirement gaps.
• Accelerating test-data creation SQL queries API requests and reusable automation components.
• Analyzing failures logs stack traces and Playwright traces.
• Refactoring repetitive flaky or difficult-to-maintain automation code.
• Creating technical documentation test summaries and defect details.
• Understanding unfamiliar application code and identifying areas of testing risk.
• Sharing effective AI-assisted testing practices with other team members.

SDETs remain accountable for all AI-generated work. Candidates must independently review generated output for correctness security maintainability test value and alignment with established standards. AI-generated code must not be accepted simply because it compiles or passes once.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience using Playwright with TypeScript for UI and API automation.
• Strong TypeScript programming fundamentals.
• Experience designing maintainable automationnot 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.
