Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks and test suites using suitable programming languages, tools, and testing patterns.

• Create and execute automated and exploratory tests for functional, integration, regression, system, API, 508 and end-to-end testing.

• Develop and maintain mobile test automation for native, hybrid, or mobile web applications using tools such as Appium or equivalent technologies.

• Work with developers, product managers, and delivery teams to understand requirements, identify acceptance criteria, and define effective test strategies.

• Analyse user stories, technical designs, and product risks to identify test scenarios, edge cases, and potential failure modes.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and provide timely, reliable feedback on build and release quality.

• Investigate test failures, reproduce defects, perform root cause analysis, and collaborate with engineering teams to drive issues through to resolution.

• Maintain clear test documentation, automation standards, defect records, and quality metrics.

• Review code and test automation contributions, promoting maintainability, reusability, readability, and good software engineering practice.

• Contribute to improvements in test processes, tooling, environments, test data management, and quality engineering practices.

• Support non-functional testing activities, including performance, reliability, compatibility, and security testing where appropriate.

• Communicate testing progress, risks, results, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Professional experience in software testing, test automation, quality engineering, software development, or a related role.

• Must have experience with Playwright & TypeScript

• Strong programming experience in at least one language such as Java, C#, Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript, with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and reusable code.

• Practical experience developing and maintaining automated tests for web applications, APIs, microservices, or other software systems.

• Hands-on experience with test automation tools and frameworks such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, REST Assured, pytest, JUnit, NUnit, or equivalent.

• Good understanding of software testing principles, including test design techniques, risk-based testing, regression testing, integration testing, and defect lifecycle management.

• Experience working with version control systems, preferably Git, and contributing to collaborative development workflows such as pull requests and code reviews.

• Experience integrating automated tests with CI/CD tools and pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.

• Familiarity with API testing, HTTP, JSON, SQL, databases, and tools for inspecting and validating service responses.

• Understanding of Agile software development methodologies, including Scrum or Kanban, and experience working within cross-functional delivery teams.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex failures and communicate technical findings clearly.

• Good written and verbal communication skills, with a proactive, collaborative, and quality-focused approach to delivery.

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Experience with advanced mobile automation capabilities, including Appium, device farms, parallel device execution, cross-device testing, or cloud-based mobile testing platforms.

• Experience with AI-enabled testing capabilities such as self-healing automation, intelligent test generation, failure classification, or automated test maintenance

• Experience with cloud platforms, containers, Docker, Kubernetes, or distributed systems.

• Exposure to performance and load testing tools such as JMeter, Gatling, k6, or Locust.

• Experience testing applications built with microservices, event-driven architectures, or asynchronous messaging systems.

• Knowledge of test reporting, observability, logging, monitoring, and quality metrics.

• Familiarity with accessibility, security, cross-browser, mobile, or compatibility testing.

• Experience mentoring colleagues or contributing to automation standards and quality engineering strategy.

Benefits and Development Opportunities

• Opportunity to shape and improve automated testing practices across the software development lifecycle.

• Collaborative working environment with close engagement across engineering, product, and delivery teams.

• Support for professional development, technical learning, and relevant certifications.

• Exposure to modern test automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, cloud technologies, and software engineering practices.

• Regular feedback, knowledge sharing, and opportunities to contribute to engineering standards and continuous improvement.

• Inclusive workplace culture that values quality, curiosity, accountability, and continuous learning.
