What You ll Own

- End-to-end framework ownership: Design, build, maintain, and be the single point of accountability for the company's automation framework from the ground up: architecture, conventions, tooling, reporting, and CI/CD integration.
- AI-driven automation: Use Claude to accelerate test design, generate and refactor test code, debug failures, and scale coverage across frameworks. Drive adoption of AI-assisted testing (e.g., Playwright MCP) as a core team capability.
- Cross-stack test development: Write reliable automation in multiple frameworks and languages as the product demands web, API, and beyond using Claude to move fluidly between stacks.
- Robust Playwright suites: Build cross-browser, parallelized, stable end-to-end tests with Playwright; eliminate flakiness and keep the suite fast and trustworthy.
- CI/CD integration: Wire automated tests into the delivery pipeline so every change is continuously validated; own dashboards, reporting, and quality gates.
- Quality strategy: Define test strategy, coverage standards, and best practices. Partner with developers to make the product testable by design and mentor the team on automation.

- Strong Playwright expertise Deep, practical experience building and maintaining production-grade Playwright suites (selectors, fixtures, parallelization, cross-browser, CI execution).
- Multi-framework programming via Claude Comfortable writing code across multiple frameworks and languages, leveraging Claude to ramp quickly and produce quality code in unfamiliar stacks.
- End-to-end ownership experience Has previously owned an automation framework end-to-end for a company or major product architected it, scaled it, and was accountable for it.
