The role requires 4+ years of QA automation experience and proven expertise designing test frameworks from scratch.

What you will do

• Establish standards, patterns, and best practices for writing and maintaining tests; review and mentor the Middle AQA;

• Build a stable, prioritized E2E regression suite covering critical user journeys;

• Integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline and drive reporting, flake reduction, and test-run stability;

• Partner with the client's developers and Engineering Excellence lead to embed quality practices across the team;

• Identify coverage gaps and risks, and continuously improve test quality, speed, and signal;

Must haves

• 4+ years of experience in QA with strong, hands-on automation experience;

• Deep expertise with Playwright and JavaScript for E2E web testing;

• Proven experience designing and architecting a test automation framework from scratch;

• Solid understanding of QA methodologies, the testing pyramid, and E2E/API/UI test design;

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, and Git-based workflows;

• Strong grasp of web fundamentals, including DOM, HTTP, REST APIs, and debugging flaky tests;

• Detail-oriented, quality-obsessed mindset - the client's #1 requirement;

• Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

• Experience with Node.js / TypeScript applications; familiarity with Svelte and/or Next.js;

• API test automation and contract testing;

• Experience mentoring or leading a small QA team;

• Exposure to procurement, fintech, or other complex B2B enterprise domains;
