Job description

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., * 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.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience building automated test suites in code.
  • Strong programming ability in TypeScript, 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 WebdriverIO.
  • 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 GitHub 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 GitHub Copilot) as part of day-to-day work.
  • A public GitHub 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.
