The right person brings a strong foundation in QA automation, strong testing judgment, and practical experience using modern tools to improve quality and release confidence. Required Experience * 5+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, including designing and maintaining automated test frameworks in production environments. * 3+ years of experience with Cypress or Playwright using Typescript or JavaScript. * Strong QA fundamentals, including test coverage strategy, risk assessment, defect writing, and regression planning / execution. * Experience owning QA work for complex features or systems with minimal oversight. AI & Modern Tooling * Experience using AI tools to support testing workflows, such as generating test cases, analyzing results, improving coverage, or accelerating repetitive QA work. * Exposure to testing AI/LLM-driven features or interest in developing stronger evaluation practices for AI-assisted functionality. * Familiarity with modern AI development tools and workflows, such as Copilot, Claude Code, or similar. Technical & Collaboration Skills * Comfortable working across a modern web stack (e.g., React, TypeScript, Java, Python) and combining automation, manual, and exploratory testing for full system coverage. * Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to influence quality practices through clear thinking, execution, and collaboration. ## Description Amplifire is seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to help improve software quality through strong automation practices, thoughtful test strategy, and modern AI-assisted workflows. This role combines automated testing, manual and exploratory testing, and practical use of AI tools to improve test coverage, system reliability, and release confidence. You will build and maintain automated regression suites, contribute to testing strategy, perform exploratory testing for complex workflows, and partner closely with engineering and product teams to ensure high-quality releases. You will also help apply AI-assisted testing approaches where they can reduce repetitive work, improve coverage, or make testing workflows more efficient. While AI-assisted QA is still evolving within Amplifire, this role is not expected to own AI strategy across QA. Instead, you will use modern tools pragmatically, contribute to emerging practices, and help ensure that automation and AI-assisted workflows are reliable, auditable, and aligned with Amplifire's quality standards. Amplifire operates in a regulated environment (e.g., FedRAMP, SOC 2), where auditability, correctness, and reliability matter alongside development speed. Requirements: What You'll Do Automation, Manual Testing & Quality Fundamentals * Build and maintain automated regression suites using Cypress and Playwright. * Own test planning and execution for complex features and workflows. * Perform manual and exploratory testing where automation alone is not sufficient. * Partner with engineering and product to identify risk early and embed quality throughout the development process. * Maintain high-quality test cases, documentation, and defect reporting. * Track defects in Jira and contribute to quality metrics. * Conduct root cause analysis on production issues and help identify prevention strategies. AI-Assisted Testing & Modern Tooling * Use AI tools to support test design, analysis, automation, and coverage improvement. * Contribute to AI-assisted testing workflows that help reduce repetitive work and improve release confidence. * Help evaluate AI-driven features for quality, reliability, and consistency. * Follow and contribute to evolving best practices for responsible AI-assisted QA workflows. * Use modern AI tools pragmatically while validating outputs and maintaining strong QA standards. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [AI as a Test Designer: Transforming Experience into Automated Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1984-ai-as-a-test-designer-transforming-experience-into-automated-testing) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/461-gitops-for-the-people) - [Are Classical Automation Frameworks Dead?
