Role Overview

We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer to help us scale quality across a fast-moving engineering team. This role is about building the automation, processes, and release confidence that keep pace with a team already working with AI-assisted development. You’ll support a medium-sized team on your own, so independence, organization, and the ability to create scalable ways of working are essential.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement automated tests for frontend, backend, and API flows

Use Playwright as a core testing platform, with tests written in TypeScript or C# depending on the best fit

Test microservices-based systems with an understanding of dependencies, release sequencing, and service interactions

Coordinate release readiness across the team, helping identify what needs to be tested first and what can go out together

Test Azure-based and event-driven workflows, including message-based scenarios such as Service Bus topics and related integrations

Combine automation with manual and exploratory testing where it adds the most value

Improve the way manual testing is enabled so it remains efficient and sustainable as the team grows

Collaborate closely with developers, the engineering manager, and other stakeholders to build a practical quality process

Use AI-assisted tools to speed up test creation, maintenance, triage, and analysis

Help ensure quality scales with the speed of the team instead of becoming a bottleneck

Required Experience & Skills

Required

At least 4 years of professional experience in QA, test automation, software engineering, or a closely related field

Strong experience with test automation, ideally across both frontend and API testing

Experience with Playwright or a similar modern automation framework

Good working knowledge of TypeScript, C#, or another language used for automation

Practical understanding of release coordination in microservices-based systems

Experience testing APIs and backend workflows

Familiarity with Azure or other cloud-based environments

A practical, organized approach to working independently and structuring your own process

Curious, adaptable, and open to using AI tools to work more efficiently

Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with developers and stakeholders

A mindset that balances quality, speed, and pragmatism

Preferred

Experience building or improving QA processes for a growing team

Experience with event-driven or message-based systems

Experience with infrastructure or environment concepts that help with reliable testing

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit into them

Experience using AI tools to support testing, analysis, or maintenance

Experience working in a product-oriented, fast-moving engineering environment
