Job Summary

We are looking for a skilled Automation Test Engineer with solid expertise in Playwright, JavaScript, and AI-assisted test automation to design, develop, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks for modern web applications.

The ideal candidate should be proficient in leveraging AI tools to accelerate test development, improve test coverage, reduce maintenance effort, and enhance overall software quality.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, develop, and maintain UI automation frameworks using Playwright with JavaScript.
- Build reusable and maintainable automation scripts using Page Object Model (POM).
- Leverage AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT to accelerate test case generation, debugging, and automation development.
- Explore AI-driven approaches for test scenario identification, test data generation, and failure analysis.
- Develop automated functional, regression, smoke, integration, and end-to-end tests.
- Perform REST API testing using Playwright's API testing capabilities.
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
- Implement parallel execution, cross-browser testing, and automated reporting.
- Analyze flaky tests, identify root causes, and improve test reliability.
- Review AI-generated automation code to ensure correctness, maintainability, and adherence to coding standards.
- Collaborate with development and product teams to identify testing gaps and improve release quality.
