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
