Are you ready to make Playwright the backbone of a fast, reliable, engineering-led quality practice?

Work You’ll Do

Own quality engineering for enterprise web applications and Deloitte’s Tax & Legal technology solutions delivered through the Global Tools Delivery Center.

- Develop data-driven and parameterised tests to cover multiple input combinations efficiently.
- Build and maintain Playwright API acceptance suites with authentication, chained requests, and assertions.
- Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines so they trigger on every code merge, and keep them green.

- Establish and promote automation best practices and reusable components across the team.

UAT Coordination and Stakeholder Management

- Communicate test progress, defect metrics, risks, and quality gates to stakeholders.
- Build strong working relationships across developers, product owners, business analysts, and delivery leads.

Testing and Execution

- Own end-to-end testing for assigned modules – functional, regression, integration, and cross-browser.
- Lead daily defect triage with developers and track every defect to closure.
- Analyse defect trends by severity, module, and root cause, and share findings with the development team.
- Enforce entry and exit criteria – do not approve a release that does not meet the quality bar.

Mentoring and Team Development

- Review Analyst test cases and automation scripts before execution and give specific, constructive feedback.
- Mentor Analysts on Playwright, framework design, and testing best practices.
- Run knowledge-sharing sessions and support onboarding of new team members.

Compliance and Documentation

- Apply Deloitte standards (e.g., copyright, visual identity) and guidelines (e.g., style guide, checklists) to all testing deliverables.
