- Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright for regression and end-to-end testing
- Perform functional, regression, and end-to-end testing across web applications
- Identify, document, and track defects using structured bug reporting practices
- Validate feature requirements against implemented functionality
- Collaborate closely with developers to clarify issues and verify fixes
- Participate in sprint testing cycles and release validation
- Maintain clear documentation of test cases and test results
- Support continuous product improvement by flagging usability or performance concerns

Key Requirements

Experience:

- 4 to 6 years of QA experience in web application testing
- 3+ years of QA Automation experience

What We're Looking For

- Has an automation-first mindset
- Can independently take ownership of testing and automation efforts
- Thinks beyond test cases and focuses on customer experience
- Is proactive and self-driven
- Can identify risks before they become production issues
- Is comfortable learning new technologies quickly




- Uses data and evidence when discussing quality concerns
- Communicates clearly with developers, product managers, and stakeholders
- Thrives in a fast-paced startup environment

Technical Skills

- Strong experience with Playwright
- Strong experience with TypeScript or JavaScript
- Experience automating modern web applications
- Experience creating end-to-end, regression, and smoke automation suites
- Strong understanding of automation design patterns and best practices
- Experience with API testing using Postman or similar tools
- Experience working with REST APIs
- Experience with Git and version control workflows
- Experience with Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar tools
- Basic SQL knowledge for backend validation and troubleshooting

AI Testing (Value Add)

We are increasingly building AI-powered applications and workflows. Experience in this area is highly desirable.

Preferred experience includes:

- Testing AI-powered applications, AI agents, chatbots, or LLM-based features
- Validating conversational workflows and AI-generated responses
- Testing prompt behavior and response quality
- Evaluating AI outputs against business requirements
- Identifying hallucinations, incorrect responses, and edge-case failures
- Understanding how to test systems where outputs may vary but still meet expected outcomes

Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools is also highly valued.

Core Competencies:

- Strong attention to detail




- Automation-first testing mindset with focus on scalable quality practices
- Structured and systematic approach to testing
- Clear written communication when documenting bugs
- Ability to follow defined QA processes consistently
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced product environment

Education:
