What sets us apart? Our product is a true GAME-CHANGER that provides our customers a massive ROI and keeps them on the leading edge of the industry.

About You:

You are an experienced QA automation engineer with over 3 years of expertise in test automation using Playwright and JavaScript/TypeScript. You’re skilled in integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, automating API testing, and using observability tools for real-time visibility. You have a strong passion for coding and software development, which drives your commitment to building reliable, efficient test systems. You focus on improving test stability, reducing flakiness, and adopting AI-driven approaches to elevate software quality in Agile environments.

Key Responsibilities and Activities:

  • Develop and Maintain Automated Tests:
    • Write, extend, and refactor end-to-end automated test cases using Playwright to ensure comprehensive test coverage for our web applications.
  • CI/CD Integration & Maintenance:
    • Configure and maintain GitHub Actions workflows to trigger automated tests as part of our continuous integration pipeline. Monitor and optimize test execution in the CI/CD environment.
  • Observability & Alerting Integration:
    • Integrate test results with observability and alerting platforms (e.g., Kibana, team dashboards) and configure notifications to channels like Slack or Teams to ensure real-time visibility into failures and trends.
  • Test Failure Triage & Communication:
    • Investigate failing tests, distinguish between test flakiness and genuine bugs, and proactively alert the development team with detailed failure logs and potential root causes.
  • Test Strategy & Quality Gates:
    • Collaborate with developers and product managers to define test strategies, coverage goals, and quality gates for new features and services.
  • API Test Automation:
    • Design and implement automated API tests using Playwright’s request context or similar programmable frameworks. Validate service responses, edge cases, and contract compliance as part of CI/CD workflows.
  • Automation Metrics & Reporting:
    • Track and report automation metrics such as test pass rates, flakiness trends, and regression failures to inform release decisions.
  • Test Management Integration:
    • Implement and maintain seamless integration between Playwright and Zephyr to ensure automated test executions are automatically correlated with Zephyr test cycles, providing clear traceability and enhancing test management visibility.
  •  Test Stability & Reliability:
    • Collaborate with developers to reduce test flakiness and improve test run consistency. Own the health of the automated test suite.
  •  Documentation:
    • Maintain clear and concise documentation for the automation framework, test cases, and CI/CD processes.
  •  Manual Testing:
    • Collaborate closely with the QA team, supporting exploratory and manual testing efforts as needed to complement automated testing and ensure thorough product validation.
  •  AI First:
    • Aggressively experiment, evaluate, and adopt AI-driven testing tools and methodologies to enhance test automation efficiency, reduce test maintenance overhead, and proactively identify potential quality issues. Reliance on manual-only test development methods is no longer sufficient; integrating AI solutions to increase efficiency and proactively detect quality issues is required.

Knowledge and Skills:

  • 3+ years of experience in software quality assurance or test automation at a software company.
  • Hands-on experience with Playwright or similar end-to-end testing frameworks.
  • Proficient with JavaScript and TypeScript
  • Experience managing GitHub Actions or other CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, especially in triaging and reporting issues.
  • Experience with test reporting tools (e.g., Allure, ExtentReports).
  • Proficiency with Jira or similar issue-tracking tools for bug management and test reporting in Agile environments.
  • Experience with backend testing and API automation.

Preferred Knowledge and Skills:

  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development processes.
  • Experience testing B2B SaaS applications, including backend and API automation in multi-tenant, cloud-based environments.
  • Familiarity with load testing, benchmarking, and performance tuning in cloud-based applications is a plus.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
