• Must Have for this role: Looking for Senior Automation Engineer with hands on both Automation and Manual Testing.
• Someone who can collaborate with engineers and product managers to create test strategies and test plans.
• Candidate with strong experience in Playwright and strong understanding of Angular.
• This person will be maintaining end-to-end automation testing and updates.
• Someone who is a strong team player and strong writing test scripts experience.
• Understanding of Java script is a big plus.
• Someone with Production experience is plus.
• Bachelors is nice to have.
• Minimum 8 years of experience is needed (Combined Automation and Manual Experience).

As an Automation Engineer, you will design, implement, and scale modern end-to-end automation frameworks that power continuous testing and ensure release confidence across all product lines. Youll combine deep hands-on technical expertise in Playwright (TypeScript) with architectural thinking to enable parallel, sharded execution, CI/CD integration through GitHub Actions, and BrowserStack cloud orchestration.

Youll collaborate with engineers, QA, and product teams to improve test efficiency, ensure system observability, and explore the use of AI-driven automation to optimize test stability, coverage, and analysis. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where youll drive framework evolution, mentor teams, and define best practices for quality automation.

What youll be doing

• Architect and enhance the Playwright (TypeScript) automation framework to ensure scalability, maintainability, and cross-browser/device coverage.

• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to enable automated test runs, parallel execution, and test sharding for faster feedback.

• Collaborate with engineers and product managers to create test strategies and plans that ensure quality throughout the SDLC.

• Perform manual regression, functional, integration, usability, and user acceptance testing.

• Integrate BrowserStack for multi-device, multi-OS testing, and implement efficient parallelization to reduce execution time.

• Improve test suite coverage across UI, API, and accessibility, ensuring reliable and repeatable execution.

• Generate, analyze, and publish test reports to identify root causes of failures, flakiness, or performance degradation.

• Work with observability platforms to monitor application health and integrate test insights into dashboards.

• Experiment with AI-assisted automation tools (e.g., self-healing, defect prediction, intelligent test selection) to drive innovation.

• Perform and oversee code reviews, ensuring adherence to automation and coding best practices.

• Lead by example through hands-on development, framework enhancements, and mentoring team members.

• Participate in cross-functional design and technical discussions, contributing to continuous improvement of quality processes.

What are the required technical skills?

• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or 8+ years of equivalent experience in software automation and framework design.

• Strong experience with Playwright using TypeScript for end-to-end automation.

• Solid understanding of modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript fundamentals.

• Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, especially GitHub Actions, including matrix builds, caching, and environment management.

• Hands-on experience with BrowserStack (or similar cloud device farms) for distributed, parallel, and sharded test execution.

• Familiarity with test case management tools (e.g., Tricentis, TestRail, Xray) for linking automation with test coverage.

• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, asynchronous programming, and microservices-based architectures.

• Working knowledge of observability and monitoring platforms (e.g., Datadog, New Relic).

• Experience or interest in AI-enhanced testing (e.g., self-healing, test generation, or anomaly detection).

• Exposure to accessibility testing (WCAG/A11Y) and tools like Axe or Evinced.

• Experience with Angular or React applications is a plus.

• Experience with AWS or other cloud services is a plus.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across geographically distributed teams.

What youll need to be successful

• Experience designing and maintaining modern end-to-end automation frameworks (Playwright preferred).

• Strong hands-on coding and debugging skills in TypeScript and JavaScript.

• Ability to build, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automation with GitHub Actions.

• Deep understanding of web fundamentals-DOM structure, CSS selectors, async events, and accessibility.

• Experience improving test suite performance through parallel execution, sharding, and flakiness reduction.

• Willingness to perform manual testing where needed to understand product workflows and edge cases.

• Familiarity with observability tools for monitoring product health and integrating automation insights.

• Curiosity and openness to learning new technologies and exploring AI-assisted approaches to testing.

• Ownership mindset, strong analytical thinking, and a commitment to delivering high-quality products efficiently.
