Responsibilities

**Experience: 3 to 5 Years

**Primary Tech Stack: JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, Playwright, REST APIs, Git, CI/CD

- Edge-Case Automation: Resolve complex web interactions including shadow DOMs, nested iFrames, energetic canvas elements, and custom web components using programmatic fallback scripts
- API Storage Interception: Write custom scripts to bypass UI bottlenecks using Playwrights API request context, local/session storage injection (addInitScript), and network route interception (pageroute)
- Framework Architecture Reusability: Package low-level Playwright execution routines into reusable, well-documented, clean functions with robust exception handling for non-technical QA members
- API Automation Integration: Build and maintain scalable REST API automation suites using Playwrights native APIRequestContext, handling dynamic payload generation, status assertion, schema validation, and header/authentication setup
- Hybrid Web API Testing: Implement hybrid UI/API test workflowsleveraging backend REST endpoints for rapid pre-test state setup, database seeding, and post-test cleanup to eliminate brittle, slow UI setup steps
- CI/CD Integration: Integrate, run, and optimize test execution across headful/headless runner nodes in continuous integration pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker)
- Code Reviews Quality: Conduct code reviews for custom scripts,



ensuring adherence to JavaScript ES6+ and Python best practices and asynchronous programming standards Qualifications
- Engineering degree or equivalent.

- Experience building or maintaining custom plugins, keywords, or parsers for BDD or Keyword-Driven framework engines
- Experience querying project management APIs (eg, Jira REST API) or pushing test/defect metrics to reporting tools like Power BI or Allure
- Familiarity with containerized execution environments (Dockerized Jenkins agents) Essential skills
- Programming Languages: 3+ years of strong experience in JavaScript / TypeScript (ES6+) and Python, with proficiency in asynchronous programming (async/await, Promises)
- Playwright Core Expertise: 2+ years of hands-on experience using Playwright for web and API automation
- Robust API Testing: Strong, practical experience in automated API testing using Playwrights request module, Postman, or HTTP client libraries; hands-on knowledge of JSON schema validation, JWT/OAuth authentication handling, and API response parsing
- DOM Browser Runtime Context: Proven ability to manipulate browser runtimes using pageevaluate(), pageaddInitScript(), dynamic locator strategies, and network route interception
- Version Control: Proficiency with Git workflows (branching, code reviews, PR workflows)
- Must possess a deep understanding of core programming fundamentals, DOM manipulation, and Playwright APIs without relying on AI code-generation tools Desired skills **Primary Tech Stack: JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, Playwright, REST APIs, Git, CI/CD Experience
