Limelight is a modern FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) SaaS platform helping finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and static budgets. We enable CFOs and FP&A teams to model, forecast, and analyze financial performance in real time—with speed, confidence, and governance.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to help us scale a high-quality, reliable SaaS platform used for mission-critical financial decision-making.
As part of Limelight’s Product Development team, you’ll own and evolve our automated testing strategy—ensuring stability, performance, and trust across everything we ship, from core financial modeling to AI-driven features.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust automation frameworks, collaborating closely with developers and product managers, and raising the quality bar across the organization.
What You’ll Do- Design and build our test automation framework from scratch, using Playwright as the foundation.
- Own end-to-end quality across UI, API, and backend/integration layers.
- Combine automated testing with manual and exploratory testing — especially for complex financial calculations, data integrity, and edge cases where human judgment matters.
- Write, maintain, and scale automated test suites; integrate them into CI/CD.
- Tackle flaky tests, test data management, and environment stability head-on.
- Partner directly with product development on requirements, edge cases, and release readiness.
- Champion quality earlier in the development cycle — not just at the end.
- Manage test cases, defects, and documentation in Jira and Confluence.

Strong hands-on experience with API testing (REST/JSON, auth, error handling) and running tests in CI (e.g., Postman + Newman)
Experience with browser automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar)
Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for test automation
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (parallel runs, retries, artifacts, quality gates)
Working knowledge of Git and SQL (PostgreSQL) for test data setup and validation
Strong ability to debug end-to-end issues using browser DevTools and logs
Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally
Ability to write clear, high-quality defect reports with evidence and impact
