QA Automation Engineer (Playwright, TypeScript, E2E Testing & CI/CD) – Remote Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours Preferred Locations: LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South Africa About the Role At Pavago, one of our clients — a fast-growing, product-focused technology company — is hiring a senior-level QA Automation Engineer to strengthen its test automation infrastructure and improve software quality at scale. This is not a manual QA role . You’ll take hands-on ownership of: Playwright automation TypeScript-based testing E2E test frameworks Regression coverage Test stability and flaky-test reduction CI/CD integration AI-assisted testing workflows You’ll work directly with frontend and backend engineers to build reliable, scalable automation that increases release confidence and catches problems before they reach production. If you think like an engineer, enjoy solving difficult automation problems, and care about building maintainable test infrastructure, this role is a strong fit. What You’ll Own Test Automation & Framework Development Build and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automated tests using: Playwright TypeScript Expand automation coverage across critical: User journeys Product workflows Regression scenarios Build reusable: Test utilities Fixtures Testing patterns Automation components Improve framework: Maintainability Scalability Reliability Execution speed Maintain clean and sustainable automation architecture Test Stability & Flaky-Test Reduction Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests Diagnose failures involving: DOM interactions Network requests Asynchronous behavior Timing and synchronization Test environments Reduce false positives and inconsistent failures Improve regression suite reliability Develop reliable test-data strategies Help maintain stable testing environments CI/CD & Release Automation Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines Ensure automated test suites run reliably during deployment workflows Review CI/CD test results and troubleshoot failures Improve execution speed and feedback cycles Support release validation and regression prevention Increase engineering confidence in production deployments Engineering Collaboration Work directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development Collaborate on: Testability Regression prevention Release readiness Automation architecture Participate in engineering and testing discussions Identify quality risks before releases Provide clear technical feedback when defects or automation issues are identified AI-Assisted Testing & Quality Innovation Use AI-assisted tools to improve: Exploratory testing Edge-case identification Test development Debugging Identify opportunities to increase automation coverage and testing efficiency Experiment with modern QA and automation workflows Help evolve testing practices as AI-assisted engineering tools improve Required Experience & Skills Core Requirements Strong proficiency in TypeScript Hands-on experience with Playwright Strong Cypress experience with willingness to transition to Playwright may also be considered Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks Strong understanding of: DOM interaction Network requests Asynchronous application behavior Test synchronization Flaky-test diagnosis Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines Strong debugging and troubleshooting abilities Experience improving automation reliability and regression coverage Ability to work directly with software engineers in a modern product environment Strong written and verbal English communication skills Comfortable working independently in a remote environment Nice to Have Experience building automation infrastructure from scratch Experience with test-data management and environment strategies B2B SaaS testing experience Experience testing: Multi-tenant applications Role-based permissions Complex user workflows Familiarity with AI-assisted testing tools and workflows Experience in Agile or product-led engineering environments Strong understanding of modern software development and release practices What Makes You a Strong Fit You think like an engineer first and tester second You prefer automation over repetitive manual testing You enjoy diagnosing why tests are unstable rather than simply rerunning them You take ownership of framework quality and long-term maintainability You understand how modern web applications behave across the DOM, network, and asynchronous workflows You care about clean, reusable automation code You work effectively with minimal management You communicate clearly with frontend and backend engineers What a Typical Day Looks Like You might start by reviewing CI/CD test results and investigating a flaky Playwright test affecting the regression suite. From there, you could build automated coverage for a newly released workflow, improve shared TypeScript fixtures, troubleshoot asynchronous behavior, or collaborate with an engineer on making a feature easier to test reliably. You’ll also continuously improve test performance, framework stability, and automation coverage while experimenting with AI-assisted approaches to exploratory testing and edge-case detection. In short: you build the automation infrastructure that keeps software releases fast, reliable, and production-ready. Key Metrics for Success Increased E2E automation coverage Reduction in flaky and unreliable tests Stable CI/CD test execution Faster automated test execution Improved regression detection Increased release confidence Reduction in production issues Maintainable and reusable automation architecture Strong collaboration with engineering teams Why This Role Stands Out Automation-first engineering role — not manual QA Deep hands-on work with Playwright and TypeScript Ownership over automation architecture and framework reliability Direct collaboration with frontend and backend engineering teams Opportunity to improve CI/CD and release quality Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows High autonomy in a fast-moving product environment Fully remote opportunity Interview Process Initial Application Review Spark Hire Intro Video Initial Screening Call with Pavago Technical Assessment / Automation Review Client Technical Interview Final Interview – Culture & Ownership Fit Offer & Onboarding Apply Now If you’re a QA Automation Engineer with strong Playwright, TypeScript, E2E testing, and CI/CD experience who enjoys building reliable automation infrastructure rather than relying on manual testing, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help build scalable, stable, and engineering-driven software quality systems. #QAAutomation #QAEngineer #Playwright #TypeScript #AutomationEngineer #E2ETesting #SoftwareTesting #CICD #Cypress #SaaSJobs #EngineeringJobs #RemoteJobs
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
