Role overview 

The QA Automation Engineer will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining high-quality automated tests for our web application hosted on AWS. This role is a blend of hands-on test development, creative problem solving, and collaboration with developers to ensure our product quality meets the highest standards. 

You will take ownership of our existing Playwright-based test framework, expand coverage with well-structured and efficient tests, and introduce modern testing best practices to help us build a more reliable product. 

A day in the life… 

• Collaborate with developers to define test coverage for new and existing features. 

• Write and maintain automated E2E tests in TypeScript using Playwright. 

• Design and implement smarter testing strategies, including: 

• Leveraging custom testing utilities to prepare and verify application state. 

• Performing multi-layer validations across APIs, UI, and data storage. 

• Simulating advanced user workflows to ensure realistic coverage. 

• Continuously improve test structure, reusability, and maintainability following modern best practices. 

• Monitor and maintain automated test runs in the CI/CD pipeline. 

• Investigate test failures, debug issues, and propose fixes to ensure stable releases. 

• Stay informed about modern testing trends (e.g., contract testing, visual regression, test flakiness reduction) and suggest process improvements. 

• Participate in code reviews for test automation code to maintain high standards. 

What we are looking for… 

Experience and skills: 

• 1–3 years of experience in test automation (E2E/UI/API). 

• Proficiency in TypeScript for writing and debugging automated tests. 

• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Puppeteer, or Cypress. 

• Understanding of the testing pyramid (E2E, integration, unit) and when to apply each. 

• Experience working with REST APIs and performing backend validations. 

• Knowledge of test data management (factories, mocks, stubs). 

• Familiarity with git and CI/CD workflows. 

• Basic understanding of AWS or cloud-based environments. 

Nice to have: 

• Knowledge of visual regression testing tools.
