Automation Engineer (Playwright, TypeScript, E2E Testing & CI/CD) - Remote\nPosition Type: Full-Time, Remote\nWorking Hours: U.S. Business Hours\nPreferred Locations: LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South Africa\nAbout the Role\nAt Pavago, one of our clients - a fast-growing, product-focused technology company - is hiring a senior-level QA Automation Engineer to strengthen its test automation infrastructure and improve software quality at scale.\nThis is not a manual QA role.\nYou’ll take hands-on ownership of:\nPlaywright automation\nTypeScript-based testing\nE2E test frameworks\nRegression coverage\nTest stability and flaky-test reduction\nCI/CD integration\nAI-assisted testing workflows\nYou’ll work directly with frontend and backend engineers to build reliable, scalable automation that increases release confidence and catches problems before they reach production.\nIf you think like an engineer, enjoy solving difficult automation problems, and care about building maintainable test infrastructure, this role is a strong fit.\nWhat You’ll Own\nTest Automation & Framework Development\nBuild and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automated tests using:\nPlaywright\nTypeScript\nExpand automation coverage across critical:\nUser journeys\nProduct workflows\nRegression scenarios\nBuild reusable:\nTest utilities\nFixtures\nTesting patterns\nAutomation components\nImprove framework:\nMaintainability\nScalability\nReliability\nExecution speed\nMaintain clean and sustainable automation architecture\nTest Stability & Flaky-Test Reduction\nIdentify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests\nDiagnose failures involving:\nDOM interactions\nNetwork requests\nAsynchronous behavior\nTiming and synchronization\nTest environments\nReduce false positives and inconsistent failures\nImprove regression suite reliability\nDevelop reliable test-data strategies\nHelp maintain stable testing environments\nCI/CD & Release Automation\nIntegrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines\nEnsure automated test suites run reliably during deployment workflows\nReview CI/CD test results and troubleshoot failures\nImprove execution speed and feedback cycles\nSupport release validation and regression prevention\nIncrease engineering confidence in production deployments\nEngineering Collaboration\nWork directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development\nCollaborate on:\nTestability\nRegression prevention\nRelease readiness\nAutomation architecture\nParticipate in engineering and testing discussions\nIdentify quality risks before releases\nProvide clear technical feedback when defects or automation issues are identified\nAI-Assisted Testing & Quality Innovation\nUse AI-assisted tools to improve:\nExploratory testing\nEdge-case identification\nTest development\nDebugging\nIdentify opportunities to increase automation coverage and testing efficiency\nExperiment with modern QA and automation workflows\nHelp evolve testing practices as AI-assisted engineering tools improve\nRequired Experience & Skills\nCore Requirements\nStrong proficiency in TypeScript\nHands-on experience with Playwright\nStrong Cypress experience with willingness to transition to Playwright may also be considered\nProven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks\nStrong understanding of:\nDOM interaction\nNetwork requests\nAsynchronous application behavior\nTest synchronization\nFlaky-test diagnosis\nExperience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines\nStrong debugging and troubleshooting abilities\nExperience improving automation reliability and regression coverage\nAbility to work directly with software engineers in a modern product environment\nStrong written and verbal English communication skills\nComfortable working independently in a remote environment\nNice to Have\nExperience building automation infrastructure from scratch\nExperience with test-data management and environment strategies\nB2B SaaS testing experience\nExperience testing:\nMulti-tenant applications\nRole-based permissions\nComplex user workflows\nFamiliarity with AI-assisted testing tools and workflows\nExperience in Agile or product-led engineering environments\nStrong understanding of modern software development and release practices\nWhat Makes You a Strong Fit\nYou think like an engineer first and tester second\nYou prefer automation over repetitive manual testing\nYou enjoy diagnosing why tests are unstable rather than simply rerunning them\nYou take ownership of framework quality and long-term maintainability\nYou understand how modern web applications behave across the DOM, network, and asynchronous workflows\nYou care about clean, reusable automation code\nYou work effectively with minimal management\nYou communicate clearly with frontend and backend engineers\nWhat a Typical Day Looks Like\nYou might start by reviewing CI/CD test results and investigating a flaky Playwright test affecting the regression suite.\nFrom there, you could build automated coverage for a newly released workflow, improve shared TypeScript fixtures, troubleshoot asynchronous behavior, or collaborate with an engineer on making a feature easier to test reliably.\nYou’ll also continuously improve test performance, framework stability, and automation coverage while experimenting with AI-assisted approaches to exploratory testing and edge-case detection.\nIn short: you build the automation infrastructure that keeps software releases fast, reliable, and production-ready.\nKey Metrics for Success\nIncreased E2E automation coverage\nReduction in flaky and unreliable tests\nStable CI/CD test execution\nFaster automated test execution\nImproved regression detection\nIncreased release confidence\nReduction in production issues\nMaintainable and reusable automation architecture\nStrong collaboration with engineering teams\nWhy This Role Stands Out\nAutomation-first engineering role - not manual QA\nDeep hands-on work with Playwright and TypeScript\nOwnership over automation architecture and framework reliability\nDirect collaboration with frontend and backend engineering teams\nOpportunity to improve CI/CD and release quality\nExposure to AI-assisted testing workflows\nHigh autonomy in a fast-moving product environment\nFully remote opportunity\nInterview Process\nInitial Application Review\nSpark Hire Intro Video\nInitial Screening Call with Pavago\nTechnical Assessment / Automation Review\nClient Technical Interview\nFinal Interview - Culture & Ownership Fit\nOffer & Onboarding\nApply Now\nIf you’re a QA Automation Engineer with strong Playwright, TypeScript, E2E testing, and CI/CD experience who enjoys building reliable automation infrastructure rather than relying on manual testing, we’d love to hear from you.\nApply today and help build scalable, stable, and engineering-driven software quality systems.\n#QAAutomation #QAEngineer #Playwright #TypeScript #AutomationEngineer #E2ETesting #SoftwareTesting #CICD #Cypress #SaaSJobs #EngineeringJobs
