Client Overview
Our Client is a global leader in corporate brand protection and domain management, serving Fortune 500 and large enterprises with domain registration, online brand monitoring, and anti-counterfeiting services.
Project Description
The Client is consolidating two legacy client portals into a single modern platform, bringing feature parity ahead of client migration. Stack: PHP (Laravel), RabbitMQ, MySQL, Nuxt.js (Vue.js) on AWS.
The Client currently has minimal test automation in place, making this a greenfield opportunity to define and build the automation framework from the ground up - covering regression, API, and end-to-end testing across the platform.
Requirements
- 6+ years of commercial QA automation experience on web-based products
- Strong experience with end-to-end UI automation (Playwright (preferred) or Selenium)
- Hands-on experience with API test automation
- Working knowledge of PHPUnit and/or Pest for feature and integration testing in Laravel applications
- Comfort working with at least one of Java or TypeScript / JavaScript as the primary automation language
- Solid understanding of test design principles - page object model, data-driven testing, test isolation, flake prevention
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or AWS CodePipeline)
- Familiarity with MySQL / Postgres for test data setup, validation, and cleanup
- Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills across frontend, backend, and API layers
- Ability to work in a distributed, multi-timezone team (US / UK / Brazil)
- Excellent English communication skills
- Experience working in Agile / Scrum / Kanban
Nice to Have
- Experience with performance and load testing tools (k6, JMeter, Gatling)
- Exposure to contract testing (Pact) or BDD frameworks (Cucumber, Behat)
- Background in SaaS, multi-tenant platforms, or large-scale B2B portals
- Experience with AI-assisted testing tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) for test generation and maintenance
- Knowledge of RabbitMQ or other message brokers for event-driven test scenarios
- AWS services exposure (S3, CloudWatch, SQS)
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain automated test suites across UI (Playwright), API (RestAssured / Postman), and backend (PHPUnit / Pest) layers
- Contribute to the automation framework architecture — tooling selection, patterns, reporting, and CI integration
- Write stable, maintainable tests with clear coverage of regression, smoke, and critical user journeys
- Partner with PHP and Java developers to embed testing into the development workflow — test-first mindset, PR-level test gates, shift-left practices
- Integrate test execution into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring fast feedback on every commit
- Define and track quality metrics - coverage, pass rate, flake rate, regression cycle time
- Support exploratory and manual testing where automation is not yet in place
- Troubleshoot failing tests and environment issues, working with DevOps and engineering to resolve root causes
- Collaborate with Client on test strategy and release readiness
- Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, retros, demos)
- Contribute to building a test automation culture - mentoring developers on writing testable code, sharing best practices
