Job Description

• We are looking for a QA Automation Engineer with strong experience in manual and automation testing for web and mobile applications with hands-on expertise in building scalable automation frameworks using Playwright with JavaScript/TypeScript.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end automation test scripts using Playwright with JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Create robust locators/selectors and handle complex UI scenarios (frames/iframes, nested components, Shadow DOM).
• Execute cross-browser testing across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit; support parallel execution to optimize runtime.
• Perform API testing for RESTful services (request/response validations, status codes, headers, payload verification) and integrate with UI flows where required.
• Perform database validations using SQL (joins, subqueries) to verify backend data integrity.
• Analyze failures using Playwright debugging capabilities (trace viewer, logs, screenshots) and improve test stability using retries and hooks.
• Identify gaps in test coverage and contribute to continuous improvement of automation strategy and quality metrics.
• Integrate automated suites with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) and support scheduled/triggered test runs with reporting.
• Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (release planning, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives) and provide accurate estimates for testing/automation work.
• Collaborate with developers, product owners, and other QA engineers to clarify requirements, triage defects, and ensure timely resolution.
• Create and maintain test artifacts such as test plans, test cases, test scripts, and execution reports; log and track defects in JIRA.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in QA (manual and automation) for web applications; experience with Windows-based applications is a plus.
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright automation using JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Solid understanding of OOP concepts and their application in automation framework design.
• Experience working with BDD-style frameworks and writing clear, maintainable test scenarios.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD practices and test execution via Jenkins.
• Proficiency with Git-based version control (e.g., GitHub) and pull request workflows.
• Experience with defect tracking and test management using JIRA.
• Good understanding of STLC/SDLC, defect life cycle, and testing types (smoke, sanity, regression, integration, UAT, system testing).
• Ability to write and execute SQL queries for validations (joins, subqueries).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to work independently in fast-paced Agile teams.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with data-driven testing using external datasets (JSON, CSV, Excel) and test parameterization.
• Hands-on experience with network interception/mocking and validations for dynamic web applications.
• Familiarity with Postman and/or Rest Assured for API testing and troubleshooting.
• Experience migrating legacy Selenium suites/frameworks to Playwright.
• Exposure to e-commerce or banking domains and high-availability, customer-facing applications.
• API automation framework integration.
• Automated validations.
• End-to-end API + UI workflow testing.
• Enterprise workflow automation testing.
• Exposure to RPA/automation-based validation.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Ownership mindset and ability to drive testing tasks to closure.
• Effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Continuous improvement approach to quality, automation, and engineering practices.
