• Develop end-to-end tests with Playwright using TypeScript and/or Python
• Create API tests for REST/FastAPI endpoints
• Use mocks, fixtures, and reliable test data to keep automation stable
• Investigate failures using logs, network requests, browser DevTools, and test results
• Define regression scope and help determine whether releases are ready
• Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions/CI pipelines

Requirements

• 3+ years of QA experience on customer-facing software
• Strong experience with both manual testing and automation
• Hands-on Playwright experience
• Experience designing an automation framework from scratch
