Senior QA Automation Developer

5+ years of QA experience testing SaaS or cloud applications, with a deep understanding of the full SDLC and how quality engineering fits into the development process.

2+ years of hands-on automation framework experience with Playwright, Cypress, or similar, with a proven ability to author, maintain, and scale end-to-end (E2E) test suites.

An automation-first mindset, with a track record of prioritizing automated coverage over manual-only QA and building reliability into the CI/CD pipeline.

Full-stack testing capability across UI and API layers, including experience with tools like Postman for API validation, ensuring comprehensive coverage at every level of the stack.

Test architecture and scalable design expertise, with the ability to build maintainable automation suites using industry-standard design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model, data factories, separation of concerns).

Agile fluency and tooling experience, including comfort working in rapid delivery environments with frequent release cycles, and familiarity with test management platforms like Allure TestOps for reporting and tracking.

A strong background in TypeScript and/or Go is a plus, as is experience with MySQL or similar relational databases.

You approach automation with a software engineering mindset, applying the same rigor, design patterns, and scalability standards a developer applies to a core feature.

You're a "Shift Left" advocate who clarifies requirements during planning, long before the first line of code is written.

You take a data-driven, holistic view of quality, moving past basic UI tests to use API testing, system signals, and customer feedback to find improvements.

You're AI-forward and technically curious, and you experiment with modern tools to sharpen your strategy and increase your impact.

You keep improving how the team works, and take ownership of processes and documentation without being asked.

You're primarily a manual tester and don't want to architect automation or learn new technologies.

You prefer a reactive, waterfall approach where you wait for development to finish before getting involved.

You want a narrow, fixed-scope role where you run tests rather than challenge requirements and find gaps.

You prefer to work in isolation and don't want to improve broader team workflows, documentation, or quality processes.

You're not ready to bring AI tools into your daily work.
