## About the Role

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Playwright, CI/CD automation, and Ansible, along with experience working in containerized environments. Candidates should understand how modern Java and React applications function well enough to develop and execute effective automated test scripts, but do not need to be application developers., * Strong hands-on CI/CD automation experience, including designing, maintaining, and improving deployment pipelines.
\n

 * Playwright experience is REQUIRED - significant hands-on experience creating and maintaining automated UI test scripts.
\n

 * Experience with test automation frameworks/tools, preferably including Cucumber, Playwright, or similar UI automation frameworks.
\n

 * Strong Ansible experience, including the ability to independently write, develop, and maintain Ansible playbooks rather than simply execute existing playbooks.
\n

 * Strong Python skills for automation, scripting, and test development.
\n

 * Experience automating patching and deployment processes and integrating automated testing into those workflows.
\n

 * Experience working with Kubernetes and/or OpenShift and applications running in containerized environments.
\n

 * Understanding of environments containing both containerized services and traditional VM-based workloads, including Windows and RHEL/Linux.
\n

 * Working knowledge of applications built with Java and React, with enough understanding of application behavior and architecture to develop appropriate automated test scripts.
\n

 * Ability to develop automated tests that validate applications following patching, deployments, and infrastructure changes.
\n, Ideal CandidateThe strongest candidate will be an automation engineer who sits at the intersection of DevOps, CI/CD, and software testing. They should be able to independently write Ansible playbooks, build CI/CD automation, and-most importantly-develop Playwright test automation that can be executed as part of the deployment and patching lifecycle. Experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift and an understanding of Java/React applications will allow them to effectively test modern applications across both containerized and traditional infrastructure environments.
