Responsibilities:
- Partner with Agile feature teams to understand user stories, define acceptance criteria, and promote a test-first mindset through collaboration in design and refinement sessions.
- Build, maintain, and evolve test automation frameworks using Playwright (preferred), TypeScript, or other enterprise-approved tools to support API and UI testing.
- Drive the transition from legacy frameworks (e.g., Selenium + Java, Postman/Newman) to unified automation aligned with our CI/CD strategy.
- Collaborate with developers and QA engineers to ensure test cases are executed in CI pipelines and provide fast, actionable feedback.
- Support feature teams with manual testing efforts when needed, including test case design, exploratory testing, and validation of complex workflows that are not yet automated.
- Develop and maintain automated API tests (REST/SOAP) and end-to-end tests that validate functional and non-functional requirements.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to test architecture decisions to ensure reliability, reusability, and scalability of test assets.
- Write and maintain SQL queries to validate data integrity and support test data creation strategies.
- Serve as a quality engineering champion—helping guide automation strategy, mentoring peers, and contributing to continuous improvement of QA practices.
- Ensure traceability between requirements, tests, and defects, and support compliance with enterprise policies (e.g., HIPAA, security, audit readiness).
Experience:
- 5+ years’ experience of experience in application testing and test automation of web-services (REST/SOAP) and three years of Java and J2EE development skills with strong understanding of Java APIs, J2EE web components and containers.
- Hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript preferred) or similar frameworks like Cypress or Puppeteer.
- Migration experience from Selenium + Java or Postman to modern frameworks.
- Familiarity with test reporting, dashboarding, and quality metrics in a DevOps environment.
- Experience with test case management tools (e.g., qTest, TestRail) and requirements traceability.
