About You :

You are an experienced QA automation engineer with over 3 years of expertise in test automation using Playwright and JavaScript / TypeScript. You’re skilled in integrating tests into CI / CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, automating API testing, and using observability tools for real-time visibility. You have a strong passion for coding and software development, which drives your commitment to building reliable, efficient test systems. You focus on improving test stability, reducing flakiness, and adopting AI-driven approaches to elevate software quality in Agile environments.

Key Responsibilities and Activities :

Write, extend, and refactor end-to-end automated test cases using  Playwright to ensure comprehensive test coverage for our web applications.

Configure and maintain  GitHub Actions workflows to trigger automated tests as part of our continuous integration pipeline. Monitor and optimize test execution in the CI / CD environment.

Integrate test results with observability and alerting platforms (e.g., Kibana, team dashboards) and configure notifications to channels like Slack or Teams to ensure real-time visibility into failures and trends.

Investigate failing tests, distinguish between test flakiness and genuine bugs, and  proactively alert the development team with detailed failure logs and potential root causes.

Collaborate with developers and product managers to define test strategies, coverage goals, and quality gates for new features and services.

Design and implement automated API tests using Playwright’s request context or similar programmable frameworks. Validate service responses, edge cases, and contract compliance as part of CI / CD workflows.

Track and report automation metrics such as test pass rates, flakiness trends, and regression failures to inform release decisions.

Implement and maintain seamless integration between Playwright and Zephyr to ensure automated test executions are automatically correlated with Zephyr test cycles, providing clear traceability and enhancing test management visibility.

Collaborate with developers to reduce test flakiness and improve test run consistency. Own the health of the automated test suite.

Maintain clear and concise documentation for the automation framework, test cases, and CI / CD processes.

Collaborate closely with the QA team, supporting exploratory and manual testing efforts as needed to complement automated testing and ensure thorough product validation.

Aggressively experiment, evaluate, and adopt AI-driven testing tools and methodologies to enhance test automation efficiency, reduce test maintenance overhead, and proactively identify potential quality issues. Reliance on manual-only test development methods is no longer sufficient; integrating AI solutions to increase efficiency and proactively detect quality issues is required.
