Senior QA Engineer – Manual, Automation

• Own quality end to end, building it in early through requirement reviews, design discussions, and test strategy, through to the final go/no-go call on releases
• Define and continuously refine the QA approach, including testing standards, workflows, tools, and quality metrics; adapt testing depth, process, and priorities to risk, timeline, and context
• Decide what needs testing, how deeply, and with which approach, including functional, regression, API, UI, performance, security, and usability testing
• Decide what stays manual and what gets automated
• Perform thorough manual and exploratory testing on new features, including edge cases, unexpected user behavior, UX problems, layout, states, and responsiveness
• Build and maintain Playwright automation using TypeScript/JavaScript that runs in CI and provides fast, trustworthy feedback
• Review code and pull requests, question implementation quality, and push back when necessary
• Triage defects and investigate root causes using browser DevTools, including network, console, performance, and storage tools
• Identify defect patterns and trends and implement safeguards such as tests, checks, and process changes
• Use AI tools for test creation, analysis, and debugging while validating outputs
• Communicate risks and recommendations to developers, product managers, and leadership
• Identify process, tool, and product gaps; drive improvements; mentor QA engineers and promote quality across the team

• 5+ years of QA experience with real ownership of releases and quality decisions
• Strong experience in both manual and automated testing, and the judgment to balance the two
• Solid JavaScript and TypeScript skills, enough to write clean, maintainable Playwright automation and read application code with confidence
• Hands-on experience with Playwright (or strong experience with a similar framework plus a willingness to go deep on Playwright)
• Strong command of Git and GitHub: branching, pull requests, code reviews, and working within CI pipelines
• Deep understanding of testing types, techniques, and test design, and the judgment to choose the right one
• Flexibility to adjust your approach to different situations, avoiding rigid processes while keeping quality standards high
• Experience testing web, mobile, and APIs
• Comfort with browser DevTools for debugging and investigation
• Practical experience using AI in your work, and the critical thinking to know when to trust it and when not to
• A preventive mindset: you've fixed problems at their root, not just patched symptoms, and can give examples
