About the Role

We are looking for a Test Architect – Playwright to lead and scale our automation strategy with Playwright as the core framework. This role is ideal for a highly hands-on automation expert who has architected robust Playwright frameworks and can drive modern, scalable, CI/CD-integrated testing practices.

The Test Architect will act as the technical authority for automation architecture, governance, and best practices — ensuring high-quality, reliable, and maintainable automation across projects.

Key Responsibilities

- Architect and implement end-to-end automation solutions using Playwright across UI, API, and integrated systems.
- Design and build scalable, reusable Playwright frameworks using modern design patterns (POM, fixtures, custom utilities, modular architecture).
- Establish automation standards, folder structures, naming conventions, and governance models.
- Integrate Playwright automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab).
- Drive cross-browser, parallel, and headless execution strategies.
- Implement reporting, logging, debugging, and observability best practices.
- Collaborate with Dev, DevOps, and Product teams to enable shift-left testing.
- Provide technical mentorship to automation engineers and conduct framework/code reviews.
- Evaluate and recommend complementary tools (API automation, mocking, test data management).




- Explore and implement AI-assisted testing techniques (self-healing locators, intelligent test generation, flaky test detection).

Mandatory Skills & Experience

- 8+ years of experience in automation engineering.
- Strong hands-on expertise in Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript mandatory; Java or Python is a plus).
- Proven experience designing and scaling Playwright frameworks from scratch.
- Strong understanding of:
- Fixtures and custom test setup in Playwright
- Parallel execution and performance optimization
- Cross-browser automation strategies
- API automation using Playwright or REST libraries

- Deep knowledge of:

- CI/CD integration
- Git workflows
- Automation reporting tools

- Experience working in Agile environments with DevOps alignment.

Preferred / Good to Have

- Experience with performance testing tools (JMeter, Gatling, etc.)
- Experience with containerization (Docker) for automation execution
- Exposure to Kubernetes-based test environments
- Experience in cloud platforms (Azure / AWS / GCP)
- Exposure to AI-powered automation enhancements
- Basic understanding of front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue)

What We’re Looking For

- A hands-on architect, not just a reviewer.
- Someone who can own automation strategy end-to-end.
- Robust communicator who can influence engineering standards.
- Problem solver with a modern automation mindset.
