Role Description We are seeking a highly experienced Automation Architect to define and drive the organization’s enterprise test automation strategy, with Playwright as the primary framework for up-to-date web automation. The ideal candidate will architect, govern, and implement scalable automation solutions across web applications, APIs, databases, batch processes, and end-to-end business workflows, including applications within the TriZetto Facets healthcare payer ecosystem. This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role responsible for defining automation roadmaps, establishing enterprise frameworks and engineering standards, identifying high-value automation opportunities, integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines, and building sustainable automation capabilities that improve software quality, accelerate releases, and reduce manual testing effort.

Key Responsibilities
Automation Strategy & Architecture
• Define and execute the enterprise test automation vision, roadmap, and target-state architecture.
• Establish Playwright as a strategic automation framework for modern web applications.
• Design scalable and reusable automation architecture covering web, API, database, batch, and end-to-end testing.
• Establish automation governance, coding standards, design principles, framework guidelines, and engineering best practices across delivery teams.
• Conduct automation assessments and identify high-value candidates based on business criticality, execution frequency, complexity, maintainability, and ROI.
• Define a unified automation approach for business processes spanning multiple applications and integration layers.
• Establish strategies for test-data management, environment management, execution orchestration, reporting, and defect diagnostics. Playwright Automation
• Architect and develop enterprise-grade Playwright frameworks using TypeScript or JavaScript.
• Implement framework patterns including Page Object Model, fixtures, reusable components, utilities, configuration management, and data-driven testing.
• Design automation supporting cross-browser, parallel, UI, and API testing.
• Automate member, provider, customer service, and other enterprise portals within the healthcare payer ecosystem.
• Implement robust handling of dynamic elements, synchronization, waits, authentication, test data, retry mechanisms, and flaky tests.




• Leverage Playwright capabilities such as traces, screenshots, videos, reporting, network interception, API testing, and parallel execution for efficient execution and defect analysis.
• Mentor automation engineers and QA teams on Playwright architecture, framework development, coding standards, and troubleshooting practices. API & Integration Automation
• Define enterprise-level API automation strategy and architecture.
• Build reusable automation for REST-based services and application integrations.
• Design automated validation across UI, API, database, EDI, and batch processing layers.
• Establish strategies for service-level validation, test-data setup, response validation, negative testing, and integration testing.
• Design end-to-end automated workflows that validate business transactions across multiple systems.
• Integrate API automation with Playwright and other enterprise automation frameworks where appropriate. CI/CD & Quality Engineering
• Integrate automated test suites with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and/or GitHub Actions.
• Define automation execution strategies across pull requests, continuous integration, regression, release, and scheduled pipelines.
• Enable parallel and distributed execution to improve feedback time.
• Establish automated reporting and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines.
• Track framework and execution metrics including pass rates, flaky-test rates, execution duration, automation coverage, defect detection, and pipeline stability.
• Partner with DevOps and engineering teams to implement shift-left and continuous testing practices. Solution Design & Delivery
• Architect end-to-end automation solutions covering web, API, database, EDI, and batch validation.
• Evaluate automation technologies and recommend appropriate tools based on application architecture, scalability, maintainability, integration capability, and total cost of ownership.




• Ensure automation platforms meet enterprise requirements for security, scalability, maintainability, reliability, compliance, and operational sustainability.
• Define secure test-data management practices appropriate for HIPAA-regulated healthcare environments.
• Provide technical leadership throughout framework design, implementation, deployment, migration, and ongoing modernization.
• Conduct architecture reviews and technical reviews of automation solutions developed across delivery teams. Automation CoE & Governance
• Establish and lead an Automation Center of Excellence (CoE).
• Define enterprise automation standards, reusable assets, reference architectures, framework templates, and governance processes.
• Establish technical review and framework onboarding processes for project teams.
• Develop reusable automation accelerators to improve delivery efficiency across programs.
• Define appropriate KPIs for evaluating automation maturity and effectiveness.
• Drive framework adoption and standardization across multiple products and delivery teams. Stakeholder Management
• Partner with QA leadership, product teams, business stakeholders, developers, enterprise architects, DevOps, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and delivery teams.
• Present automation strategies, architecture proposals, investment requirements, business cases, ROI, and roadmaps to senior leadership.
• Translate business priorities into practical automation strategies.
• Manage technical engagements with automation vendors and strategic partners.
• Influence engineering teams to adopt common quality-engineering and automation practices. Innovation & Continuous Improvement
• Drive adoption of Generative AI for areas such as test-case design, automation script generation, code optimization, test-data generation, failure analysis, and self-healing automation.
• Evaluate emerging automation technologies, AI-assisted testing capabilities, and quality-engineering practices.
• Continuously improve framework performance, reliability, maintainability, and developer experience.
• Monitor automation coverage, stability, execution trends, productivity improvements, ROI, and benefits realization. Skills API Testing, Playwright, FACETS, Test Automation, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Generative AI, JavaScript, Robotic Process Automation, SQL
