QA Automation Engineer

About the Role
We are looking for a technically strong QA Automation Engineer to join our growing team. You will be the owner of quality across multiple enterprise projects — designing, building, and maintaining automated test frameworks while also performing hands-on manual testing where needed. This is a key role in a fast-moving environment where your work directly impacts the stability and reliability of platforms used by large enterprise clients.

Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain end-to-end automated test suites using Playwright
Perform manual testing for functional, regression, and exploratory scenarios
Build and maintain a scalable regression testing framework that can be reused across multiple projects
Write and execute test plans, test cases, and test reports with clarity and precision
Conduct API testing to validate backend services and integrations
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub)
Collaborate closely with development teams to embed quality early in the development cycle — shift-left mindset
Track, log, and verify defects using ADO / Jira; follow issues through to resolution
Contribute to test strategy and coverage decisions across projects
Maintain clear documentation of test frameworks, coverage, and known gaps
Communicate test results, risks, and blockers clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Required Skills & Experience
3+ years of experience in QA automation and/or software testing
Hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript or Python preferred)
Solid understanding of manual testing methodologies — functional, regression, exploratory
Experience with API testing tools and concepts (REST)
Familiarity with .NET and/or Angular application architectures
Experience working with Azure DevOps, Jira, and/or GitHub
Comfortable working independently in a fully remote environment with minimal hand-holding
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — able to understand complex systems and identify what matters to test
Strong written and spoken English — you will communicate directly with enterprise clients and cross-functional teams
Excellent attention to detail and a genuine ownership mentality

Nice to Have
Experience using AI tools (coding assistants, AI agents) to accelerate test case generation and maintenance
Exposure to security testing concepts or working alongside pen testing teams
Experience with performance or load testing
Background in full-stack development or strong scripting skills

What You'll Be Working On (Initially)
The immediate focus is regression testing for a major platform upgrade — covering a penetration testing, security scans, .NET backend migration, Angular UI update, library upgrades, and integration validation — before expanding coverage across other infologiQ projects.
