Overview :

Our client is looking for a Lead Automation Engineer to join the engineering team responsible for building and maintaining a payer-agnostic web platform. You'll work alongside full stack engineers on the same user stories, driving automation strategy and strengthening their regression test suite to support a growing, multi-environment product.

This is a hands-on leadership role - ideal for someone who takes initiative, identifies automation gaps, and builds scalable testing solutions without waiting for direction. You'll help evolve their Playwright-based test suite while deepening coverage across UI, API, and integration layers.

What You'll Do :

• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of automated testing frameworks and test suites (primarily using Playwright).
• Partner with full stack developers on shared user stories to proactively define and automate regression coverage.
• Expand and optimize existing smoke and regression test suites, ensuring consistency across multiple environments and live production.
• Introduce and maintain API-level testing and integration testing as the platform brings on new vendors and services.
• Mentor other automation engineers, helping them ramp up in Playwright and automation best practices.
• Collaborate with leadership and product teams - clearly communicating testing health, risk, and coverage metrics.
• Continuously evaluate emerging test tools, frameworks, and best practices to drive automation maturity.
