# QA Automation Engineer

- **Company:** TRUSTECH INC.
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Salary:** $114,400.0 - $156,000.0
- **Contract:** Temporary to permanent
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Automation of Tests, Unit Testing, Integrated Development Environments, Playwright
- **Published:** August 11, 2026

## About the Role

* Mid to senior QA automation experience with real ownership of automated coverage

 * Playwright strongly preferred; deep experience in a comparable modern framework considered

 * Unit testing depth alongside end to end automation

 * Demonstrated, articulate use of AI tooling in test development: how you use it, why, and what outcomes it produced

 * A defensible point of view on QA in the age of AI assisted development

 * Communication and flexibility suited to a fast moving product team

## Description

They are hiring a QA automation engineer to bring that intent, and more than that, to bring an opinion. This role defines what quality assurance looks like on a team building at AI speed. If you have thought hard about that question and can back your answer with a method and real outcomes, this is a rare chance to build the practice rather than inherit it.

What you will do

 * Own and grow automated test coverage across a suite of applications, with Playwright as the primary framework

 * Define and defend how testing works in an AI assisted development environment, and put your approach into practice

 * Use AI tooling deliberately in building and maintaining tests, with a clear method for where it helps and where human judgment is required

 * Dig into existing applications, understand what each feature does and why users rely on it, and build coverage that reflects real intent

 * Mentor a junior test engineer and raise the quality bar for the whole team
