Automation QA Engineer (Playwright / TypeScript / CI / AI-Assisted)

Role Mission

You’ll own the quality automation layer of our product.

Instead of manually clicking through features, you’ll focus on building strong automated end-to-end coverage that makes it genuinely hard for bugs to reach production. Your work ensures confidence in every release by embedding quality directly into our CI pipeline and using modern AI tooling to move fast and smart.

What You’ll Do

1) Build & Maintain an E2E Test Suite

• Implement end-to-end tests using Playwright and TypeScript
• Cover critical user journeys such as:
  • Onboarding
  • Core product flows
  • Payments
  • Outputs and results
• Add regression tests for every discovered bug to prevent recurrence

2) Integrate Tests into CI

• Run E2E tests automatically on every PR via GitHub Actions
• Block merges when critical flows fail
• Keep test execution fast, reliable, and stable

3) Translate Product Behavior into Test Coverage

• Review PRDs, tickets, and feature descriptions
• Decide what should be covered by automation vs. manual checks
• Build and maintain a system risk map to guide testing priorities

4) Work with AI-Assisted QA Workflows

• Use AI tools to generate, review, and improve test cases
• Review PR diffs with AI to identify where new E2E coverage is needed
• Continuously evolve test coverage as the codebase changes

5) Reduce Manual QA Over Time

• Success in this role means less manual regression testing month over month
• Automation should increasingly replace repetitive QA work

What This Role Is Not

• Manual UI clicking for regression testing
• Writing long bug reports without adding tests
• Managing “Ready for Test” columns or QA checklists
• Acting as a release or delivery coordinator

Required Skills (Must Have)

• Experience writing E2E tests with Playwright, Cypress, or similar
• Strong knowledge of TypeScript / JavaScript
• Experience integrating tests into CI pipelines
• Solid understanding of modern web applications (React / Next.js preferred)
• Confidence working with modern AI developer tools

You should be comfortable using:

• Cursor
• Claude (for test generation and PR review)
• GitHub
• GitHub Actions

You know how to use AI tools to:

• Generate and refine test cases
• Analyze PRs and identify coverage gaps
• Speed up writing and maintaining automation code

Nice to Have

• Experience testing AI / LLM-powered products
• API testing experience
• Previous collaboration with product teams on acceptance criteria
