Automation Tester (Playwright)

Working closely with developers and engineers to maintain a high-quality build, performing the right types of testing for each release (UI, API, integration, regression, exploratory) Executing manual tests where needed, and continuously reducing manual effort by designing and implementing robust automated test coverage Creating and maintaining automated UI and API tests using Playwright (TypeScript), aligned with product risks and user-critical workflows Owning and improving daily automated test execution in our GitHub Actions pipelines, including triage of failures, reducing flakiness, and providing clear quality signals to the team Contributing end-to-end from requirements through release: refining acceptance criteria, ensuring testability, validating implementations, and supporting release readiness Collaborating with Product Owners and end users to plan and facilitate UAT, including test criteria, coordination, defect follow-up, and sign-off support Supporting system/integration testing setups that leverage our Azure services (e.g., Blob Storage, Cosmos DB) and strengthening observability using Application Insights Ensuring the integrity of business-critical outcomes, including financial calculations, and maintaining stability of engineering tools through risk-based test design and regression protection Have hands-on experience as a Test Automation Engineer who can also execute effective manual testing when appropriate Are proficient with Playwright + TypeScript for automation (primarily UI and API), and can structure tests for maintainability, reliability, and fast feedback Have practical experience with GitHub (code, PR workflows) and GitHub Actions for CI pipelines (scheduled/daily runs, artefacts, reporting, gating) Can work effectively in an environment that uses both GitHub and Azure tooling, with familiarity across relevant Azure services such as Cosmos DB, Blob Storage, Azure DevOps, and Application Insights Understand the full software development lifecycle and are comfortable engaging early—translating requirements and acceptance criteria into test scenarios and automation Communicate clearly and collaborate well with developers, Product Owners, and business users; you’re able to challenge constructively and align on quality expectations Are experienced in facilitating or supporting UAT with business users and can connect technical testing outcomes to business impact Are confident testing complex domains where correctness matters (e.g., calculation-heavy logic), and can apply business context to decide what to automate and how have extensive full stack testing experience on Web APIs, including knowledge of JSON, JWT authentication, and tools like Postman. Candidate with stress & injection test experience is a plus.
