We're hiring a mid-level QA Engineer to own quality across our product portfolio. You'll be the first dedicated QA voice on the team, which means you get to shape how we test rather than inherit someone else's process.
We're not hiring for a single project. You'll move between products and problem domains as priorities shift, so we're looking for someone adaptable who can get oriented in an unfamiliar application quickly and figure out where its risk actually lives.
This is a hands-on role across manual and automated testing, and **Playwright is central to it** — you'll be the person who builds and owns our E2E automation suite, not just runs it. You'll also work inside the unit and integration suites our developers maintain (Vitest on the frontend, xUnit and Moq on the backend), write and execute test cases, and dig into API responses and database rows to confirm what actually happened rather than what the screen claimed. Our applications handle data where a wrong number has real consequences, so we want someone genuinely curious about how systems break.
Tech Stack
E2E & API Automation: Playwright (E2E — our primary automation framework), Postman / REST clients for API testing
Unit & Integration Testing: Vitest + React Testing Library (frontend), xUnit + Moq (.NET backend) — developer-owned suites you'll help extend and hold to account
Test Management: Azure DevOps Boards (test plans, bug tracking) — tool selection beyond this is open, and yours to influence
The Applications Under Test: React 18 + TypeScript frontends, ASP.NET Core (.NET 8) APIs, Azure SQL databases, Azure Functions and queue-based background processing
Supporting Tools: Azure SQL / Azure Data Studio (SQL queries for verification), Azure DevOps Pipelines, Application Insights, browser dev tools, Figma (design reference)
Responsibilities
Design, build, and own our Playwright E2E automation suite — architecture, page objects/fixtures, test data strategy, and CI integration
Write Playwright tests that are stable and trustworthy: proper auto-waiting and web-first assertions, no arbitrary sleeps, and no flake anyone has learned to ignore
Run Playwright in CI/CD pipelines across browsers, triage failures, and keep the suite green and fast enough that people actually rely on it
Write, maintain, and execute test cases for new features and regression cycles
Work inside the developer-owned unit and integration suites — Vitest + React Testing Library on the frontend, xUnit + Moq on the .NET backend — adding regression tests for the bugs you find and pushing coverage down to the cheapest layer that can catch a given defect
Review test coverage in pull requests: whether a fix shipped with a test that actually fails without it, and whether the assertion proves the behavior or just that nothing crashed
Help decide what belongs in a unit test, an integration test, or an E2E test, so the Playwright suite doesn't become the dumping ground for everything
Test at every layer: UI behavior, API contracts and response shapes, and the resulting database state
Write SQL queries to verify that what the UI shows matches what the system actually stored
Own bug reporting end-to-end: reproduce reliably, isolate the trigger, document exact steps, and verify the fix
Test numeric and reporting output for correctness — totals, boundaries, rounding, aggregation, and date ranges
Validate role-based access control: what each user role should and shouldn't be able to see or do
Test date/time and timezone behavior, pagination, filtering, sorting, and data export (Excel/CSV/PDF) parity
Pick up unfamiliar applications and assess where their real risk sits, rather than testing only what's easy to reach
Participate in requirement reviews and call out ambiguity, missing acceptance criteria, and untestable specs before development starts
Help define our QA process — test strategy, automation coverage targets, regression scope, release criteria, and definition of done
Required Qualifications
3+ years professional QA / software testing experience
Hands-on Playwright experience — required, and specifically implementation experience.** You have built or substantially extended a Playwright suite yourself: written the tests, structured the project, handled auth/session state and test data, and wired it into CI. Experience limited to executing someone else's suite is not what we are looking for here
Ability to debug and stabilize flaky automation — locator strategy, waiting and race conditions, parallelism and test isolation
Working familiarity with unit/integration testing frameworks and mocking — Vitest, Jest, xUnit, NUnit, Moq, or equivalent. You should be able to read a developer's test suite, judge whether it genuinely covers the behavior, and add a test to it yourself
Understanding of the testing pyramid, with the judgment to place a given test at the right level
Solid manual testing fundamentals — test case design, boundary and negative testing, exploratory testing, regression planning
API testing experience — Postman, REST clients, or code-based API tests; comfortable reading JSON payloads
Working SQL skills — able to write SELECTs with joins and filters to verify application data independently
Comfortable in TypeScript or JavaScript to the level Playwright authoring demands (async/await, promises, modules)
Experience testing web applications, including browser dev tools for network and console inspection
Adaptable across products and domains — you've tested more than one kind of application and can context-switch without losing rigor
Clear, reproducible bug reports with precise steps, expected vs. actual, and supporting evidence
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum, sprint-based delivery, and a bug-tracking tool (Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar)
Attention to detail with the judgment to know what actually matters
Preferred Qualifications
Advanced Playwright — API request context, network interception/mocking, trace viewer and debugging workflows, visual comparison, custom fixtures, sharding for parallel CI runs
Vitest and React Testing Library specifically — querying by role/label, user-event interactions, and mocking modules and API layers
xUnit with Moq specifically — fact/theory-based tests, fixtures, and mocking service and repository dependencies
Experience testing systems where output must be numerically exact and reconcile against a source of truth
High-volume event-processing or data-intensive application experience
Experience testing asynchronous / queue-based systems and eventual consistency
Familiarity with C# — enough to read backend code, follow an xUnit test, and understand what an API is doing
Azure DevOps Pipelines or other CI/CD experience running automated tests in a pipeline
Performance or load testing exposure (JMeter, k6, or similar)
Accessibility testing (WCAG) and cross-browser testing experience
Experience selecting or standing up test management tooling (TestRail, Azure Test Plans, Xray, or similar)
Experience being the first or only QA on a team and building an automation practice from scratch
Experience supporting multiple products or teams at once and prioritizing across them
What We Value
Clear, direct communication — say what you mean, flag problems early, ask questions when something is unclear
Curiosity about how things break, not just whether the happy path works
Verifying the actual behavior — check the API response, check the database row; "the UI looked right" is not a passing test
Automation that earns trust: a failing test means something is actually broken, and a green suite means something
Testing at the cheapest layer that can catch the defect, rather than pushing everything up to E2E
Challenging risky or incorrect decisions instead of silently going along, including pushing back on "it works on my machine"
QA as a partner in building quality, not a gate at the end of the sprint
Adaptability — willingness to learn a new product or domain rather than staying in one comfortable corner
Pragmatism over over-engineering — automate what earns its keep and test what actually carries risk
