Collaborate with developers and product managers to review requirements and translate them into thorough test plans. Own defect triage and test failure analysis, coordinating directly with engineers to drive resolution. Continuously improve test reliability, speed, and coverage, proactively flagging risks to engineering leads. Requirements Qualifications 4+ years of QA automation experience, with demonstrated ownership of a test automation codebase. Solid hands-on experience with frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium. Strong proficiency in TypeScript and/or JavaScript for writing and maintaining test scripts. Proven experience owning CI/CD-integrated test pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar). Solid API testing experience using tools such as Postman or Supertest. Familiarity with RESTful API and WebSocket testing for real-time features. Good understanding of Git workflows and agile delivery practices. Soft Skills Strong communicator who can represent quality concerns clearly to developers and product stakeholders. Ownership mentality — takes accountability for test outcomes and drives issues through to resolution. Organised and methodical, able to manage workload across multiple features and release cycles. Collaborative team lead who enjoys growing junior engineers and raising the quality bar.
