Role: Senior Test Automation Engineer Summary A hands-on engineering role that designs, writes and maintains automated test suites full-time, covering UI and end-to-end tests, working alongside a separate test strategy function.
This is a coding role: the person writes test code in a real programming language, not manual or record-and-playback scripts.
Key responsibilities Run and maintain automated testing full-time.
Introduce and own an end-to-end and UI test automation framework.
Write new UI and end-to-end test scenarios for untested areas of the product.
Design and maintain API-level end-to-end and contract tests.
Integrate automated test suites into the CI pipeline as required checks.
Run tests and triage failures on an ongoing basis.
Required skills and experience 5+ years of hands-on experience building automated test suites in code.
Strong programming ability in Type Script, able to write and maintain production-quality test code.
Expert-level experience with Playwright, or an equivalent modern end-to-end testing framework such as Cypress or Webdriver IO.
Experience designing and writing API-level end-to-end and integration tests against REST APIs.
Experience integrating automated test suites into a CI pipeline, ideally Git Hub Actions.
Experience with test management and defect tracking tools such as Jira.
Ability to identify untested scenarios and write new UI and end-to-end test coverage independently.
Comfortable using AI coding assistants (such as Git Hub Copilot) as part of day-to-day work.
A public Git Hub profile, open-source contributions, or personal repositories that demonstrate their work.
Preferred skills and experience Experience testing applications built with Angular and React.
Experience with visual regression testing.
Experience with monorepo CI tools such as Turborepo.
Experience working alongside a separate quality strategy or test lead function.
