Responsibilities
- Build, expand, and optimize robust UI and API automation test suites using Playwright and TypeScript as the primary stack.
- Maintain and scale existing automation architectures, implementing modular, highly maintainable Page Object Models (POM) and step abstractions.
- Write resilient automation logic handling asynchronous control flows, custom promises, network interceptors, and robust element visibility loops.
- Actively leverage next-generation AI coding tools (Cursor IDE, Claude 3.5 Sonnet/Opus, ChatGPT, Gemini) to accelerate test generation, script refactoring, and framework optimization.
- Seamlessly integrate automated test execution suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) to manage scheduled regression and night-run jobs.
- Partner with product and engineering teams during planning and walkthroughs to map out acceptance criteria, translating them directly into automated and selective manual test coverage.
- Isolate, document, and track software defects meticulously using Jira, collaborating directly with development teams to accelerate hotfixes.
- Helps write and maintain test plans, test environments, test cases, automated and manual test scripts
Required Skills
- Experience: 1 to 4 years of intensive hand-on experience dedicated to QA Automation Testing using Playwright with TypeScript (or strong JavaScript).
- Proficient with Playwright primitives: locator actionability, native assertion matchers , multi-context/multi-tab handling, browser state reuse, and advanced locator strategies (CSS, text, and custom XPaths).
- Strong foundation in core TypeScript/JavaScript development, including asynchronous primitives (async/await), conditional control loops, and comprehensive error resilience via structured try/catch blocks.
- Practical proficiency working within Cursor IDE or utilizing Claude (Opus/Sonnet), ChatGPT, or Gemini for generating smart test coverage, drafting repetitive test steps, code explanation, and fast debugging.
- Solid grounding in functional, regression, sanity, and integration testing methodologies alongside experience implementing Data-Driven or BDD/TDD test design patterns.
- Regular hands-on experience using Git repositories for code management alongside execution setups in CI/CD pipeline environments.
- Basic Knowledge on sql queries
- Experience working with Git workflows including branching, pull requests, code reviews, and merge conflict resolution.
Additional Skills
- Experience working with cross-browser cloud grids like BrowserStack, LambdaTest, or Sauce Labs.
- Familiarity with Docker or Kubernetes containers for deploying localized test runner environments.
- Exposure to legacy test tools (Selenium Java, Cypress, or Appium) or API validation toolsets (REST Assured).
- Knowledge of performance/load testing basics utilizing JMeter.
- Familiarity with self-healing automation scripts and Al-based defect prediction.
- Performance Testing (Jmeter/Load runner) and Security Testing is a plus
