About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Sr. Test Automation Engineer to join our team supporting a growing SaaS platform. This is a hybrid role spanning Functional and Automation testing. You'll own quality across the full testing lifecycle — from analyzing requirements and designing test cases, to building and maintaining automation with Playwright, to validating APIs and backend data.

This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership: you won't just execute test plans, you'll help shift quality left — catching issues early, before they ever reach development. You'll work in a fast-paced Agile environment, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and DevOps to embed quality into every stage of the sprint.

How You Will Contribute

• Review and analyze product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for SaaS based platform
• Design, execute, and maintain functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory test cases
• Log, track, and retest defects using defect tracking tools
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Designers and DevOps teams in an Agile environment
• 
  

Automation Testing

• Develop, enhance, and maintain test automation frameworks
• Automate UI, API and end-to-end test scenarios using Playwright and Selenium
• Perform cross-browser and cross-environment testing
• Ensure automation coverage for critical SaaS workflows
• Analyze automation results and maintain stable, reliable test suites
