We are looking for a highly skilled and proactive Quality Assurance Engineer who combines strong software testing expertise with a modern, AI-driven approach to quality engineering. The role is focused on building robust test automation, improving product reliability, and helping engineering teams deliver high-quality software faster.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Playwright, TypeScript/JavaScript, frontend testing, API testing, and AI-assisted testing workflows. Beyond identifying defects, you will help define testing strategies, improve QA practices, and enable developers and QA professionals to adopt more effective automation and AI-powered testing approaches.

Requirements

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Leverage AI tools and agentic workflows to improve testing efficiency, automation, exploratory testing, and defect analysis.
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, designers, and QA teams to define and execute effective test strategies.
• Design, develop, and execute automated and manual test cases for web and frontend functionalities.
• Build and maintain automated test suites using Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript.
• Apply appropriate automation patterns such as Page Object Model (POM), Screenplay, and other scalable testing approaches.
• Validate API responses, authentication mechanisms, integrations, and end-to-end workflows using Playwright, Postman, and other API testing tools.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, exploratory, cross-browser, and cross-device testing.
• Identify, document, prioritise, and track defects using Qase, Jira, or similar tools.
• Conduct daily bug triage and work closely with engineering teams to ensure timely resolution.
• Analyse frontend issues using Chrome Developer Tools, DOM inspection, browser behaviour, and web debugging techniques.
• Develop and maintain test plans, test documentation, automation frameworks, and quality metrics.
• Contribute to improving test coverage, engineering quality practices, and team-level QA capabilities.
• Support CI/CD-based automated testing using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, or similar platforms.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing processes, automation coverage, and engineering productivity.
• Help establish quality standards, testing best practices, and scalable QA processes across the engineering organisation.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

• 3+ years of experience in software testing, quality assurance, or quality engineering.
• Proven experience using AI to generate automated tests, accelerate test development, or perform AI-driven exploratory testing.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Playwright and TypeScript/JavaScript for test automation.
• Solid understanding of frontend testing for modern web applications; component testing experience is an advantage.
• Strong knowledge of web technologies, including the DOM, browser behaviour, HTML/CSS, and frontend debugging.
• Practical experience with Chrome Developer Tools and troubleshooting browser-based issues.
• Experience with API testing using Postman, Playwright, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of test automation frameworks, design patterns, test coverage, regression testing, and quality processes.
• Experience with test case and defect management tools such as Qase, TestRail, BrowserStack, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Google Docs, and Google Sheets for documentation, test planning, and collaboration.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and experience working in fast-paced product development environments.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for AI, automation, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence.
• Ability to think beyond traditional QA practices and use technology to improve the effectiveness and scalability of the overall quality function.
