Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

• Design and build a Playwright automation framework from scratch, including project structure, configuration, reusable utilities, fixtures, test data handling, and reporting.
• Establish automation standards and best practices so tests are readable, reliable, maintainable, and easy for the team to extend.
• Convert existing manual test cases into maintainable Playwright automated scripts and identify suitable scenarios for regression automation.
• Develop and maintain web UI automation for user interactions, navigation, form validation, and end-to-end business workflows.
• Develop API automation using Playwright to validate endpoints, request and response payloads, status codes, authentication, and error handling.
• Use robust locator strategies, assertions, waits, and debugging techniques to create stable tests and reduce flaky execution.
• Configure test data, environment settings, reusable fixtures, and reporting to support reliable execution across test environments.
• Review automated test results, investigate root causes, document defects with clear reproduction steps, and retest fixes.
• Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines where applicable and communicate execution results and quality risks.
• Collaborate with developers and QA team members to clarify application behaviour, review testability, and improve test coverage.
