Quality Engineer

Job Title: Quality Engineer

Location: 1025 Airport Pkwy, Gainesville, GA 30501 (Hybrid)

Duration: Full Time

Responsibilities:

• Write and maintain Playwright tests (TypeScript) for UI and API across web applications
• Practice shift-left testing: review user stories, sharpen acceptance criteria, and plan tests during grooming, before development starts
• Test inside the sprint, pairing with developers so features ship with tests, not after them
• Use AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Playwright MCP, or similar) to generate test cases, draft automation, and speed up analysis
• Validate REST APIs and backend integrations using Playwright and Postman
• Run tests in CI/CD pipelines and help keep them fast, stable, and trusted
• Build and grow regression suites, and help migrate legacy tests to Playwright
• Log clear defects, flag risk early, and contribute to release go/no-go decisions

Core Skills & Experience

• 3+ years in software testing or quality engineering
• Playwright: hands-on experience writing and running automated tests (real project work, not just tutorials)
• TypeScript / JavaScript: comfortable reading and writing test code
• Shift-Left Practices: story review, acceptance criteria, testing early in the sprint
• AI-Assisted Testing: practical use of AI tools in your testing workflow
• API Testing: REST APIs, payload validation, error handling; Postman collections, environments, and assertions
• Automation Frameworks: page objects, fixtures, handling flaky tests
• CI/CD: running tests in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar
• UI and Regression Testing: functional, exploratory, and regression suites
• Testing Concepts (STLC) and Agile: sprint planning, grooming, standups, retros

What Success Looks Like

• New features ship with Playwright coverage in the same sprint
• Defects are caught in story review and development, not in production
• Test suites run reliably in the pipeline, with flaky tests found and fixed fast
• AI is part of how the team tests every day, not an experiment

Who You Are

• Curious and eager to learn new tools and approaches
• Detail-oriented, but practical about where testing effort matters most
• Comfortable speaking up early when requirements are unclear or a build isn't ready
• A team player who enjoys working closely with developers
• Able to work onsite in Gainesville, GA, on a hybrid schedule
