Pavago is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing, product-focused technology company that is strengthening its automation infrastructure and redefining software quality through intelligent automation.
They are looking for a senior-level QA Automation Engineer who takes ownership of test systems, framework stability, and regression coverage. This is an automation-first engineering role working directly with frontend and backend teams to ensure product reliability at scale.
This is not a manual QA position. It is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role focused on Playwright, TypeScript, automation architecture, and CI/CD integration.
• Develop and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automation tests using Playwright and TypeScript
• Expand automation coverage across critical product workflows and user journeys
• Improve framework reliability, maintainability, and execution speed
• Build reusable automation utilities, fixtures, and testing patterns
• Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests
• Diagnose failures related to asynchronous behavior, network requests, timing, and DOM interactions
• Improve regression suite consistency and reduce false positives
• Maintain stable test environments and reliable test data strategies
• Integrate automated tests seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines
• Collaborate directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development and release cycles
• Participate in architecture and testing discussions to improve overall engineering quality
• Ensure automation runs efficiently within deployment workflows
• Utilize AI tools and modern automation workflows to improve exploratory testing and edge-case detection
• Continuously evaluate opportunities to improve testing speed, coverage, and intelligence through automation and AI-assisted workflows
• You think like an engineer first and a tester second
• You enjoy solving automation instability and infrastructure problems
• You take ownership of framework quality and long-term maintainability
• You are proactive, detail-oriented, and highly analytical
• You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with engineering teams
• You thrive in low-management, fast-moving product environments
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with Playwright (or strong Cypress background with willingness to transition)
• Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks
• Strong understanding of:
• DOM interaction
• Network requests
• Asynchronous behavior
• Diagnosing flaky tests
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
• Experience building automation infrastructure from scratch
• Test data management and environment strategy experience
• Experience testing B2B SaaS platforms
• Familiarity with multi-tenant systems and role-based access testing
• Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows and tooling
• Experience working in modern Agile or product-led engineering environments
A QA Automation Engineer’s day revolves around improving test reliability, expanding automation coverage, and supporting engineering quality. You will:
• Build and maintain Playwright automation tests for new and existing features
• Debug flaky tests and improve framework stability
• Collaborate with engineers on feature releases and regression prevention
• Review CI/CD execution results and troubleshoot failures
• Improve automation performance, speed, and reliability
• Support exploratory testing workflows using AI-assisted tooling
• Maintain scalable, clean, and reusable testing infrastructure
In essence: you ensure software quality is scalable, automated, reliable, and deeply integrated into the engineering process.
• Increased automation coverage across critical workflows
• Reduction in flaky tests and regression failures
• Stable and reliable CI/CD automation execution
• Faster test execution and release confidence
• Improved product reliability and reduced production issues
• Strong collaboration and engineering feedback
• Initial Screening Call (Pavago)
• Technical Assessment / Automation Review
• Client Technical Interview
• Final Interview (Culture & Ownership Fit)
• Offer & Onboarding
