Everbridge is looking for a
Junior Quality Engineer who is passionate about
software quality and test automation. In this role, you will work with experienced engineers to build and maintain automated tests using
Playwright, help improve test coverage, and ensure our applications deliver reliable experiences for customers.
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their QA career who wants to
develop strong automation skills and grow into a modern SDET role.
What You'll Do
- Playwright automation: Design, build, and maintain a robust Playwright framework for web apps, including parallelization, test sharding, and cross-browser coverage.
- Shift quality left: Embed testing in the SDLC; coach engineers on testability and quality patterns.
- Increase coverage & speed: Prioritize high-value test cases and drive meaningful coverage.
- API & integration testing: Build reliable API tests (REST).
- CI/CD integration: Run tests in pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps), enable fast feedback with artifacts, traces, and flaky-test quarantine.
- Observability for tests: Leverage Playwright's traces, videos, and screenshots; integrate with logging/monitoring to speed up root cause analysis.
- Non-functional quality: Partner to introduce basic performance and security checks into pipelines.
- Quality leadership: Define quality strategy, standards, and KPIs; mentor SDETs/QEs; influence architecture for reliability.
What You'll Bring
- 35+ years in QA/SDET roles, with hands-on in Playwright building frameworks and large test suites.
- Strong in TypeScript/JavaScript (or Python) and modern testing patterns (Page Object Model / Screenplay, fixtures, custom reporters).
- Deep knowledge of Playwright features: test runner, traces, network interception/mocking, retries, testStep, fixtures, auto-waits, web-first assertions.
- Experience with API testing, schema/contract validation, and service-level tests.
- Solid CI/CD experience (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps) and containerization (Docker).
- Practical experience with test data mgmt, synthetic data, and environment setup (including ephemeral envs).
- Familiarity with accessibility testing (axe), basic performance checks (Lighthouse, Web Vitals), and security basics (OWASP top 10 awareness).
- Excellent collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills.
