• Write and maintain automation code in JavaScript / TypeScript.
• Work with and extend an existing automation framework based on CodeceptJS.
• Create and maintain BDD scenarios using Cucumber / Gherkin.
• Maintain reusable test architecture using Page Objects / Step Objects.
• Investigate failed and flaky tests and improve test-suite reliability.
• Maintain test reporting, screenshots, traces, logs, and execution artifacts.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Work with test environments, backend services, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.

• Participate in code reviews and improvements to the automation architecture.

   

Required Skills

• Commercial experience in QA Automation.
• Hands-on experience with desktop application automation, preferably on macOS.

  • Appium Mac2 Driver
  • other macOS or desktop UI automation tools
• Experience designing or maintaining E2E automation frameworks.
• Good understanding of Page Object or similar test architecture patterns.
