Senior QA Automation Engineer (Playwright/TypeScript)

Who we are? We're a fast-growing telehealth product launched in 2025, backed by an established e-commerce company with roots going back to 2012. We're focused on the US market, building a platform that connects patients with doctors for real medical care: think weight-loss treatment, prescriptions, and insurance-covered telehealth visits, all wrapped in a strict, HIPAA-conscious environment. Our user base is growing fast, and our team is remote-first across multiple countries. Role Overview As a Senior QA Automation Engineer, you will expand automation coverage across the web application, APIs, and integrations. Your primary mission is to develop the Playwright/TypeScript automation framework, establish reliable automation practices, and integrate automated verification into the engineering delivery process. This is a hands-on individual contributor position without people-management responsibility. You'll work with a stack that includes Magento 2, Python microservices, and ReactJS on the product side, Playwright/TypeScript for automation, and CI/CD on AWS — with GitHub, Jira, Confluence, and Slack for engineering collaboration, and AI-assisted development and code review as part of daily practice. What you'll do Build automated UI, API, integration, and end-to-end coverage for critical healthcare and transactional workflows. Integrate reliable automated test execution into GitHub-based CI/CD workflows. Establish standards for test structure, data management, reporting, failure diagnosis, and flakiness control. Analyze failures and work with the engineering team to improve product testability. Convert high-value regression scenarios into maintainable automated coverage. Review automation contributions and help existing QA engineers develop automation skills. Define and report meaningful automation metrics, including reliability, execution time, critical-flow coverage, and manual-regression reduction. Team & culture You'll work closely with the QA Team Lead and the engineering team to raise the bar on automation practices. The company is scaling its automation practice essentially from the ground up, so you'll have real influence over how it's architected. Hiring process Intro call with recruiter (30 minutes) Technical interview with the QA Team Lead / engineering team Final interview with the CTO Offer and onboarding Benefits Competitive compensation based on your skills and experience. Flexible schedule and remote work options. 20 working days of paid vacation per year. 5 paid sick days per year. Coverage for conferences, workshops, and professional courses. Must have 3+ years of hands-on experience in test automation using modern automation frameworks. Strong commercial experience building and maintaining UI and API automation. Production experience with Playwright and TypeScript. Experience designing fixtures, reusable components, test data, environment configuration, reporting, and parallel execution. Experience diagnosing unstable tests and improving suite stability and execution time. Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD, preferably GitHub Actions. Strong Git and pull-request workflow experience. Ability to test REST/GraphQL APIs and complex third-party integrations. Practical SQL/MySQL skills for verification and test-data preparation. AI-assisted engineering: ability to use AI coding tools to accelerate test implementation, debugging, refactoring, and test-data generation, while independently reviewing generated code for correctness, maintainability, and meaningful test coverage. Upper-Intermediate English or higher, sufficient for daily technical communication and documentation. Bonus points Experience testing healthcare-related products, medical platforms, or working with healthcare business workflows (HIPAA, EHR/EMR, etc.). Experience designing test architecture. Hands-on experience with the Magento 2 platform. Experience testing payment integrations and subscription lifecycle management (recurring billing, cancellations).
