About the Role

In this position, you’ll be a key contributor to the quality assurance efforts of a cutting-edge Microsoft 365 solution. You’ll help shape the technical direction of the automation framework and support the evolution of quality engineering practices within the QA team.

Working in an Agile/Kanban environment, you will collaborate closely with developers and product owners, write and review automated test cases, and help drive best practices in testing and quality assurance. You’ll also play a role in evaluating and implementing tools such as Playwright as the team transitions from Selenium.

This is a hybrid role, primarily remote with scheduled monthly in-office collaboration days.

Key Responsibilities

  • Enhance and maintain an evolving test automation framework using Playwright or Selenium
  • Write clear, maintainable test scripts
  • Collaborate in Agile ceremonies, providing early feedback on testability and quality concerns
  • Expand and maintain regression and feature test suites
  • Review test automation code and contribute to internal test tools and utilities
  • Support performance testing efforts using tools such as Azure Load Testing, JMeter, or Locust
  • Contribute to backend/API testing and assist with security testing initiatives

Skills and experience required

  • 2+ years of experience in software testing with a focus on test automation
  • Proficiency in C# and automation tools like Selenium or Playwright
  • Experience working within Agile/Kanban teams and a strong understanding of shift-left testing principles
  • Strong knowledge of API testing and backend system validation
  • Familiarity with performance and security testing tools and best practices
  • Comfortable using Git and modern version control workflows
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
