Senior Automation Test Engineer (Playwright)

A leading global organisation is seeking a Senior Automation Test Engineer to join their digital team, where your expertise will drive the evolution of digital solutions across web applications and API services. This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a collaborative environment that values your professional growth, encourages you to take ownership of your career, and places digitalisation at the forefront of its agenda.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Automation Test Engineer, you will immerse yourself in the full spectrum of software quality assurance within a DevOps setup. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve designing robust test automation frameworks using Playwright with TypeScript or JavaScript, integrating these into CI/CD pipelines for seamless delivery cycles. You will collaborate extensively with cross-functional teams-project managers, product owners, developers-to understand requirements deeply and craft effective test strategies. Your analytical skills will be put to use as you interpret automation results to drive continuous improvement. Manual testing remains an important aspect of this role; you will conduct thorough functional, regression, performance, load, and security tests. Additionally, you will document findings meticulously in defect management systems while supporting UAT activities and production releases. Your adaptability will shine as you respond proactively to changing circumstances or lessons learned during project execution.

• Create and maintain comprehensive test plans and detailed test cases covering both automated and manual testing scenarios for various projects and products.
• Design, develop, and sustain scalable test automation frameworks along with reusable test components to ensure efficient testing processes.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to facilitate continuous testing cycles and provide rapid feedback for development teams.
• Analyse automation test results meticulously to identify trends, enhance test effectiveness, and support ongoing process improvements.
• Conduct manual testing activities including functional, smoke, regression, integration, performance, load, and security tests as required by project needs.
• Document and track defects using established defect management systems while collaborating closely with developers for swift resolution.
• Gain an in-depth understanding of system architecture to assess risks associated with proposed software changes and ensure robust coverage.
• Work collaboratively with project managers, product owners, developers, and stakeholders to gather requirements and define effective test strategies tailored to each initiative.
• Assist in resolving production issues by supporting development teams in efficient bug fixing and troubleshooting efforts.
• Define testing standards and procedures while selecting appropriate tools to align with best practices in software quality assurance.
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) activities as well as production release validation to guarantee successful deployments.

What you bring:

To excel as a Senior Automation Test Engineer in this forward-thinking organisation, you bring not only strong technical credentials but also proven experience working collaboratively within Agile teams. Your background includes extensive hands-on involvement in both manual and automated software testing-particularly leveraging Playwright with TypeScript or JavaScript-and integrating these efforts into modern CI/CD pipelines. You are adept at analysing complex systems end-to-end to assess risk effectively when changes are proposed. Your interpersonal skills enable you to communicate clearly across diverse teams while maintaining meticulous documentation standards. Adaptability is second nature; you readily embrace new challenges or shifts in project direction based on evolving business needs. A commitment to technical excellence drives your approach as you continuously seek ways to improve processes while nurturing positive relationships within your team.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field is essential for this position.
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in software or web application testing is required to ensure proficiency in quality assurance processes.
• A minimum of 3 years developing automated tests for web applications using Playwright with TypeScript or JavaScript is necessary for success in this role.
• Proven experience conducting API testing and validating REST services is vital for comprehensive coverage across platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines-preferably using Azure DevOps-and manage version control via GIT is highly valued.
• Solid understanding of test automation design principles alongside best practices ensures the creation of maintainable frameworks.
• Experience performing functional, performance, load, and security testing provides well-rounded expertise for diverse project needs.
• Competence in SQL for querying databases and validating application data underpins effective end-to-end testing workflows.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban supports collaborative teamwork within fast-evolving environments.
• Excellent communication skills coupled with fluency in English (both verbal and written) are crucial for effective collaboration across global teams.
• Adaptability demonstrated by the ability to shift direction based on new insights or changing priorities is highly regarded within this dynamic setting.
• A positive attitude combined with initiative enables independent work without close supervision while striving for technical excellence.
