We’re hiring a QA Automation Engineer to build, maintain, and scale automated testing systems for a fast-growing, product-focused technology company.
This is an automation-first engineering role focused on Playwright and TypeScript — not a manual QA position.
You will work directly with frontend and backend engineers to improve product quality, strengthen regression coverage, eliminate flaky tests, and ensure reliable deployments across the development lifecycle.
The ideal candidate is highly technical, ownership-driven, and experienced building scalable end-to-end automation frameworks in modern SaaS environments.
If you enjoy solving complex testing challenges, improving framework reliability, and working closely with engineering teams in fast-paced product environments, this role is for you.
• Build, maintain, and expand E2E automation coverage using Playwright and TypeScript
• Develop scalable and maintainable automation frameworks for critical product workflows
• Ensure strong regression coverage across frontend and backend systems
• Write reliable, reusable, and performance-focused automated tests
• Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests
• Improve test execution performance and framework stability
• Diagnose issues related to asynchronous behavior, DOM interactions, and network requests
• Maintain stable and reliable automation environments across releases
• Integrate automation suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing
• Ensure automated tests run efficiently within deployment workflows
• Maintain test data strategies and reliable test environments
• Support deployment confidence through automated quality validation
• Collaborate directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development
• Participate in release validation and quality planning discussions
• Support engineering teams with testing strategy and automation best practices
• Improve overall product reliability through proactive automation coverage
• Utilize AI tools to support exploratory testing and edge-case discovery
• Identify opportunities to improve automation workflows through intelligent tooling
• Continuously optimize testing processes for speed, reliability, and scalability
• You think like an engineer, not just a tester
• You take ownership of automation systems and long-term framework stability
• You enjoy solving reliability and scalability challenges
• You are highly analytical and detail-oriented
• You thrive in low-management, high-autonomy environments
• You proactively improve systems instead of waiting for direction
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with Playwright
• Strong Cypress background is acceptable if willing to transition to Playwright
• Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks
• Deep understanding of:
• DOM interaction
• Network requests
• Asynchronous behavior
• Diagnosing flaky tests
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
• Experience building automation infrastructure from scratch
• Strong understanding of test data management strategies
• Experience testing B2B SaaS products or multi-tenant systems
• Familiarity with role-based access and permissions testing
• Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows and automation tools
• Experience working in fast-moving startup or product-led environments
A QA Automation Engineer’s day revolves around improving automation reliability, expanding test coverage, and supporting engineering velocity. You will:
• Develop and maintain Playwright E2E tests
• Review failed tests and diagnose instability issues
• Improve framework performance and regression reliability
• Collaborate with engineers on feature releases and test coverage
• Maintain CI/CD automation workflows and test environments
• Identify edge cases and improve automation coverage using AI-assisted workflows
• Continuously optimize testing systems for speed, scalability, and reliability
In short: you ensure the product ships quickly, safely, and reliably through scalable automation systems.
• Stability and reliability of automation frameworks
• Reduction in flaky or failing tests
• Increased automated regression coverage
• Faster and more reliable CI/CD testing cycles
• Reduced production bugs and release issues
• Test execution speed and framework performance improvements
• Initial Screening Call (Pavago)
• Technical Assessment / Automation Review
• Client Technical Interview
• Final Interview (Culture & Ownership Fit)
• Offer & Onboarding
