About the role
We are looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to design and own the E2E test automation architecture for a B2B procurement software platform, building a Playwright and JavaScript framework from an early-stage baseline. You will define the automation strategy, establish standards and patterns, build a stable regression suite covering critical user journeys, and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines while mentoring a Middle QA Automation Engineer. The role requires 4+ years of QA automation experience and proven expertise designing test frameworks from scratch.
What you will do
● Design and own the E2E test automation architecture and framework using Playwright + JavaScript from an early-stage baseline.
● Define the automation strategy: what to automate, at which layer, and how to keep the suite fast and reliable, including page objects/commands structure, fixtures, test data, and environment handling.
● Establish standards, patterns, and best practices for writing and maintaining tests; review and mentor the Middle AQA.
● Build a stable, prioritized E2E regression suite covering critical user journeys.
● Integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline and drive reporting, flake reduction, and test-run stability.
● Partner with the client’s developers and Engineering Excellence lead to embed quality practices across the team.
● Identify coverage gaps and risks, and continuously improve test quality, speed, and signal.
Must haves
● 4+ years of experience in QA with strong, hands-on automation experience.
● Deep expertise with Playwright and JavaScript for E2E web testing.
● Proven experience designing and architecting a test automation framework from scratch.
● Solid understanding of QA methodologies, the testing pyramid, and E2E/API/UI test design.
● Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, and Git-based workflows.
● Strong grasp of web fundamentals, including DOM, HTTP, REST APIs, and debugging flaky tests.
● Detail-oriented, quality-obsessed mindset — the client’s #1 requirement.
Nice to haves
● Experience with Node.js / TypeScript applications; familiarity with Svelte and/or Next.js.
● API test automation and contract testing.
● Experience mentoring or leading a small QA team.
● Exposure to procurement, fintech, or other complex B2B enterprise domains.
● Familiarity with performance or accessibility testing.
