About Role:

We are seeking a high-caliber QA Automation Engineer. This role requires a strong foundation in automation fundamentals (selectors, waits, test design, framework patterns), and hands-on Playwright experience to deliver reliable and maintainable automated test coverage. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with modern testing tools, CI/CD integration, and Agile delivery environments.

Key Responsibilities

Playwright Automation Development

Develop clean, maintainable Playwright automation scripts using TypeScript

auto-waiting, trace viewer, screenshots/video

parallel execution, sharding, tagging

network interception (where required)

AppiumExperience

API Testing & Data Validation

Build and maintain API automation tests using:

RestAssured (Java) and/or Playwright API Request context

Postman (for quick validations)

Validate data integrity and end-to-end flows across UI + API (where applicable)

CI/CD & Reporting

Integrate test execution into CI/CD pipelines:

Jenkins / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps

Maintain execution reports:

Allure / Playwright HTML reports / Extent reports

Collaborate closely with developers, BAs, and DevOps engineers to ensure quality delivery.

Strong debugging skills:

logs, traces, screenshots/video interpretation

CI/CD + Tools

Jenkins / GitHub Actions (pipeline execution, triggers, artifacts)

Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews)

API Testing

RestAssured and/or Playwright API

Postman for validations

Strong understanding of request/response validation

Good to Have

Docker / Selenium Grid / containerized execution

SQL skills for backend validations

Test management tools: Jira + Zephyr/Xray/TestRail

Regulated domain maturity (healthcare/fintech): audit trails, PII/PHI awareness

Process Requirements

Strong Agile delivery experience (Scrum ceremonies)

Ability to create/update structured test documentation and maintain traceability
