What you'll do:

NinjaTrader's web trading platform is how our customers trade futures — in real time, on live markets. As a Sr. Software Engineer in Test on the Web team, you will own quality for a dedicated product squad, embedded as a peer alongside engineers and product managers. Your job is not to gate releases — it is to build automation that makes confident, fast shipping the default. What you test and validate is what traders depend on.

In this role you will:

• Own quality end-to-end for an assigned product squad: from test strategy through release confidence
• Partner with developers and product managers at the design stage to define acceptance criteria and build testability into features from the start
• Design, develop, and maintain Playwright-based automated tests following Page Object Model (POM) patterns and the team's established automation architecture
• Write and maintain automation in TypeScript/JavaScript, contributing to shared frameworks and raising coverage standards across the team
• Collaborate with engineers on system design, API contracts, and application architecture to ensure observable, testable behavior
• Own your squad's test reliability — identify, analyze, and eliminate flakiness with the same urgency as a production bug
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines using tagging strategies (e.g., smoke, regression) so every deployment ships with clear quality gates
• Apply AI-assisted development tools — code generation, test generation, failure analysis — to improve coverage and productivity
• Perform manual and exploratory testing where it adds signal that automation cannot, and convert findings into durable automated coverage
• Contribute to junior QA team members' growth through code reviews, pairing, and direct feedback
• Uphold NinjaTrader SDLC and information security standards

What you'll need:

• 7+ years of experience in QA engineering and test automation
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright
• Solid experience writing automation in TypeScript or JavaScript
• Experience building and maintaining tests using Page Object Model or modular test architecture<
