• Design, build, and maintain enterprise-grade test automation using Playwright
• Contribute to establishing an automation-first QA approach, including standards, governance, and reporting
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude) to generate and scale test cases
• Support the development of standards for AI-assisted test generation, test data strategy, regression design, and observability
• Help reduce reliance on manual and outsourced QA efforts
• Execute and expand regression testing across multiple applications
• Integrate automated testing into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
• Partner closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams
• Identify and prioritize high-value test scenarios for automation
• Contribute to QA standards, best practices, and automation strategy
• Help define and track quality and automation metrics (coverage, regression cycle time, defect escape rate, throughput)
• Support knowledge sharing, documentation, and reuse of automation frameworks
• Communicate progress, risks, and KPI trends to leadership

• 5+ years of QA / Software Quality Engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience building test automation frameworks (Playwright required)
• Experience developing and scaling automated test suites for enterprise SaaS or cloud-based applications
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps preferred)
• Experience extending AI usage into advanced QA workflows (e.g., large-scale test generation, optimization, intelligent test selection)
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude) in development or QA workflows
• Experience testing web-based applications and APIs
• Strong understanding of:
• Regression testing strategies
• Test design and coverage
• Automation best practices
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and DevOps teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Scaled automation across multiple applications or product lines
