Senior QA Automation Engineer – Playwright

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Macedonia.

📋 Description

• Develop, implement, and deploy Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript) automation frameworks while ensuring their stability as the suites expand.

• Evaluate APIs and microservice architectures in conjunction with the user interface.

• Conduct Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) in partnership with analysts, developers, and clients.

• Identify and troubleshoot flaky and intermittent failures, focusing on uncovering root causes rather than simply adding retries.

• Leverage AI coding agents to enhance test design, authoring, and maintenance, while meticulously validating their outputs.

• Contribute to the establishment of AI-assisted and agent-driven testing methodologies, which include instruction files, reusable prompts, and review processes.

• Broaden automation coverage to mobile platforms as project demands necessitate, with appropriate support.

• Mentor peers and disseminate effective practices within the QA community.

• Clearly articulate quality risks and technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

• Operate autonomously, organize your own tasks, and influence both the team and the broader QA community.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of experience in test automation, with a minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience using Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript in a production environment.

• Proficient understanding of Playwright’s core functionalities: fixtures, locator strategy, auto-waiting, network interception and mocking, trace-based debugging, and parallel execution.

• Experience in testing responsive and mobile-web behavior utilizing Playwright, encompassing device emulation, viewports, touch interactions, and cross-browser testing.

• Proven track record in defining and implementing framework architecture, rather than merely extending existing frameworks.

• Experience with API automation and microservices testing, utilizing HTTP and network inspection tools.

• Familiarity with CI/CD processes using any major pipeline tool.

• Practical experience in BDD within an Agile team context.

• Working knowledge of AI-assisted practices, including generating tests with AI and recognizing tests that pass but provide little value.

• Nice to have: hands-on experience with native mobile automation on iOS and/or Android, preferably using Appium with WebdriverIO.

• Nice to have: familiarity with another automation stack, such as Selenium-based or non-JS frameworks.

• Nice to have: experience in building or orchestrating multi-step AI agent workflows for test generation, execution, or triage.

• Nice to have: exposure to performance or cloud testing.

• Nice to have: involvement in mentoring, delivering conference talks, or writing blogs.
