Senior Quality Assurance Analyst

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer who is passionate about building reliable software through automation-first testing
. In this role, you’ll design, create, manage, execute, and automate test suites across web and mobile applications, partnering closely with product, design, and engineering. You’ll leverage Playwright and modern CI/CD practices in Azure Dev Ops/Git Hub, with deployments and environments spanning AWS and Azure
. We are initiating AI-assisted test automation on the team so experience in AI tools is a plus. You’ll be part of a fast-paced, collaborative team driven by a startup mindset and focused on delivering innovative solutions.

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for web and mobile using Playwright (or alternatives like: Cypress or Puppeteer) and Appium (mobile), emphasizing reliability, maintainability, and speed.
• Create comprehensive test strategies (functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, cross-browser/device, accessibility, performance).
• Shift-left testing: Collaborate with developers on unit & API test strategies; participate in story grooming, acceptance criteria refinement, and testability reviews.
• Build CI/CD quality gates in Azure Dev Ops and/or Git Hub Actions
  ; integrate test results, flaky-test detection, and quality metrics dashboards.
• Manage test environments and data across AWS & Azure
  , including test fixtures, mocking, and service virtualization.
• Execute and triage automated and exploratory tests; isolate defects with clear repro steps, logs, video, and screenshots.
• Continuously improve UX quality: Validate usability, accessibility (WCAG), responsiveness, and visual consistency; partner with design for testable UI patterns.
• Contribute to standards: Coding style, page object models, fixtures, test data strategies, reliability practices, and documentation.
• Leverage modern tooling (e.g., Browser Stack/Sauce Labs) for cross-device coverage; use AI-assisted tools for generating test cases, locators, and flakiness analysis where appropriate.
• Metrics & reporting: Track and communicate coverage, defect leakage, mean time to detect/resolve (MTTD/MTTR), flaky-test rate, and release readiness.

• 4 + years of QA/Quality Engineering experience focused on test automation
  .
• Proficiency in QA automation and scripting languages (Python, pytest, Locust and Playwright experience preferred for T2) OR (TS, K6 and Playwright experience preferred)
• Solid experience with Azure Dev Ops (pipelines, test plans) and/or Git Hub (Actions, pull request checks), including integrating automated tests into CI/CD.
• Practical knowledge of cloud environments
  : provisioning test environments, secrets management, and pipelines in AWS and Azure
  .
• Experience automating tests for mobile apps (at least one: Appium, Detox, Espresso, or XCTest).
• Proficiency with API testing (e.g., Playwright API, Postman/Newman, REST/GraphQL) and contract testing (e.g., Pact).
• Familiarity with cross-browser/device testing using Browser Stack or Sauce Labs.
• Strong debugging skills: network tab, HARs, logs, tracing, screenshots/videos, and root-cause analysis.
• Attention to UX
  : usability, visual consistency, and responsive behavior.
• Experience with agile practices (Scrum/Kanban), story refinement, acceptance criteria, and defect lifecycle.

• AI-assisted testing exposure (e.g., AI-generated test cases, locator resilience, self-healing tests, or ML-based flakiness detection).
• Performance testing (e.g.,
  k6
  , Lighthouse
  , Web Page Test ) and basic security testing familiarity (OWASP Top 10 awareness).
• Component-level testing (e.g.,
  Playwright component testing
  , React Testing Library
  ).
• Experience with observability/telemetry (
  Cloud Watch, Application Insights
  ), using logs/metrics/traces to drive quality.
• Basic scripting in Python/Node for test utilities;
  MongoDB and SQL for test data setup/validation.
• Experience with Android Automotive OS application testing a plus

• Establish stable, fast Playwright suites integrated into CI with clear pass/fail gates.
• Reduce flaky tests and improve signal-to-noise in pipelines;…
