You will own the testing strategy and execution for new features from requirements through production release, combining deep exploratory and manual testing with scalable end-to-end automation built on Playwright. This role carries significant ownership across test strategy, automation coverage, and quality standards. You will embrace AI-assisted testing to increase coverage and productivity, mentor junior engineers, and raise quality engineering practices across the team. How We Work: We believe exceptional software is built by engineers who own outcomes, not just tickets. * Agile development: We operate in two-week sprints with clear ownership, rapid iteration, and continuous customer feedback. * Engineering Excellence: Clean architecture, automated testing, code reviews, and maintainable software are foundational to how we build. * Modern Platform: Our platform is supported by a modern engineering toolchain including Playwright, GitLab, GitLab CI/CD, and Docker. * Continuous Growth: We invest in mentorship, quality engineering leadership, and system-level thinking, creating opportunities to influence the platform and grow your career. Expectations: Success in this role means independently driving quality throughout the development lifecycle, catching issues before customers do, and continuously raising the reliability and coverage of our test suites. You are expected to own testing initiatives end-to-end, review requirements for gaps and risk before development is complete, provide reliable estimates, communicate clearly across teams, and deliver high-quality releases on schedule. What You'll Do: * Own the testing effort for new features from requirements through production release. * Design, execute, and maintain comprehensive manual, exploratory, regression, and end-to-end automated test scenarios. * Develop and maintain scalable automated test suites using Playwright, and perform API testing to validate REST backend integrations. * Build and maintain automated tests within GitLab CI/CD pipelines. * Review business requirements to identify missing acceptance criteria, edge cases, and risks before development is complete. * Perform root cause analysis for production issues, partner with developers to resolve defects quickly, and create high-quality bug reports with clear reproduction steps and business impact. * Continuously improve automation coverage, test reliability, and overall QA processes. AI-Assisted Testing: We are transforming our platform into an AI-enabled system of intelligence, and we expect our engineers to work the same way, actively leveraging AI to: * Generate and improve test cases, and discover additional edge cases during exploratory testing. * Accelerate Playwright automation development. * Review requirements to identify missing scenarios, and analyze defects, logs, and regression impact. * Validate AI-generated outputs before incorporating them into the automation framework. Additional Responsibilites: * Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Developers, Business Analysts, and fellow QA team members throughout the development lifecycle. * Mentor junior QA engineers and champion scalable, repeatable QA processes and reusable test architecture that improve quality as the platform grows. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [How I Built QA from Scratch in a Scaling Startup - no fluff real life story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2041-how-i-built-qa-from-scratch-in-a-scaling-startup-no-fluff-real-life-story) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [AIQSpecFlow: Improves and automates your agile process of specification and creation of testcases.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100084-aiqspecflow-improves-and-automates-your-agile-process-of-specification-and-creation-of-testcases) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Integration And E2E Testing: Are They Complementary or Interchangeable?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/86-integration-and-e2e-testing-are-they-complementary-or-interchangeable) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
