We are hiring experienced Automation QA Engineers (Mid–Senior level) to join a high-impact engagement with a Tier-1 payments network, working on a digital wallet / Click to Pay sandbox environment. This role operates in a dual-track model where engineers rotate between core test automation and platform/AI-driven automation capabilities—ensuring both technical depth and cognitive balance.
You will contribute to building scalable, production-grade automation frameworks using Playwright and TypeScript, while also leveraging AI-assisted tooling to accelerate test development and improve system reliability. This is a hands-on engineering role with direct exposure to complex payment flows, CI/CD ecosystems, and real-time quality insights
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Playwright (TypeScript) for UI and API testing
- Build and execute automated test suites for complex user journeys (e.g., checkout, registration, authentication flows)
- Develop robust API test coverage including request chaining, schema validation, and auth flows
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent) with environment-aware execution
- Implement framework patterns (Page Objects, fixtures, data-driven testing, parallel execution)
- Contribute to cross-browser test execution using platforms like SauceLabs or BrowserStack
- Build self-healing and resilient test mechanisms (dynamic locators, fallback strategies, retry logic)
- Design and manage test data orchestration strategies (isolation, reuse, cleanup)
- Develop and maintain real-time dashboards and reporting tools (e.g., Allure, Grafana)
- Create environment health check suites for pre/post-deployment validation
- Integrate test results with defect tracking systems and support failure analysis
- Collaborate with stakeholders and present progress in demos and reviews
- Leverage AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate test development and improve efficiency
Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in test automation with production-grade code
- Strong expertise in Playwright with TypeScript for both UI and API testing
- Solid programming skills in TypeScript/JavaScript (framework-level development, not just scripting)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (preferably Jenkins), including test execution integration
- Strong API automation experience (REST, JSON validation, authentication flows)
- Deep understanding of test framework design patterns and scalable automation practices
- Experience with Git workflows, code reviews, and branch-based development
- Ability to handle both UI and API testing responsibilities across rotating tracks
- Strong communication skills with experience working with global stakeholders
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor)
- Exposure to payments, fintech, or digital wallet ecosystems (tokenization, 3DS, issuer APIs)
- Experience working in environments with constrained test data or service dependencies
- Familiarity with Karate (Java) for API testing or framework migration
- Knowledge of observability tools (Grafana, Splunk, Datadog)
- Experience with cross-browser testing platforms like SauceLabs or BrowserStack
- Basic understanding of performance testing tools (k6, JMeter)
- Exposure to agentic or LLM-driven testing workflows
We offer
- Opportunity to work on bleeding-edge projects
- Work with a highly motivated and dedicated team
- Competitive salary
- Flexible schedule
- Benefits package - medical insurance, sports
- Corporate social events
- Professional development opportunities
- Well-equipped office
