Quality Assurance Analyst

The Quality Assurance Engineer specializing in automation testing plays a key role in building and maintaining robust Playwright-based automation frameworks and performance test suites. This role ensures the delivery of scalable, high-quality software that supports business objectives around customer satisfaction and platform reliability. A Typical Day in the Life Includes: Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end automation frameworks using Playwright with JavaScript. Collaborate with software engineers, architects, and product owners to understand application designs and translate specifications into comprehensive automated test coverage. Perform functional and end-to-end testing on web UI and API layers, validating features against acceptance criteria before, during, and after automation coverage. Implement and monitor automated functional, regression, smoke, and performance test suites for web applications and RESTful services. Configure, run, and monitor test execution in cloud and containerized environments (Docker, cloud hosted runners). Conduct performance and load testing to identify bottlenecks and validate application scalability. Develop test strategies, plans, and cases that ensure thorough coverage across functional, integration, and API layers. Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines and drive shift-left quality practices. Coordinate with development and deployment teams to triage defects, resolve issues, and enable bug-free product releases. Generate and present sprint-level summary reports (Allure, HTML reports) highlighting test results, coverage, flakiness, and improvement areas. Mentor peers on Playwright best practices, test design patterns, and framework contributions. Basic Qualifications: 5–7 years of hands-on experience in automation testing with strong expertise in Playwright. Strong coding skills in JavaScript / TypeScript with strong fundamentals in ES modules, async/await, and promises. Proficiency building test frameworks using Playwright with runners such as Playwright Test, Cucumber-JS (BDD), Mocha, or Jest, and package management with npm or yarn Experience with REST API test automation using JavaScript/TypeScript (Playwright APIRequest, Supertest, Axios) or equivalent tooling in Python. Strong manual and functional testing skills, including test case design, exploratory testing, and defect triage across web and API layers. Solid grasp of functional testing techniques — boundary analysis, equivalence partitioning, positive/negative flow validation, and end-to-end scenario coverage. Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions, including pipeline authoring and parallel test execution. Solid understanding of SQL and hands-on experience with data validation and back-end data testing. Familiarity with reporting tools such as Allure, and version control workflows using Git. Working knowledge of Docker and running automation in containerized or cloud environments. Preferred Qualifications: Exposure to observability tooling (logs, metrics, traces) to debug flaky or failing tests. Experience testing data platforms, ETL pipelines, or data-mesh style architectures. Contributions to internal frameworks, page-object libraries, or open-source QA tooling.
