Position Overview  

We are seeking a skilled   QA Automation Engineer   to join our Enterprise Digital Solutions team in   Hyderabad, India . In this role, you will design, build, and   maintain   reliable automated tests across UI and API layers, embed quality checks into CI/CD, and partner with Engineering and Product to prevent defects early.   You’ll   contribute to scalable test architecture using   Playwright   with   TypeScript/JavaScript   and help improve test stability, coverage, and release confidence.  

Key Responsibilities  

Test Automation Development  

  • Develop and   maintain   automated test suites for critical user journeys (smoke, regression, end-to-end).  

  • Create maintainable UI automation using   Playwright   and   TypeScript/JavaScript   (reusable fixtures, selectors, and page abstractions).  

  • Build and enhance API automation (request validation, data setup/teardown, and basic contract checks where applicable).  

  • Analyze failures, triage defects, and collaborate with engineers to   identify   root causes and prevent   regressions .  

Framework & CI/CD Integration  

  • Contribute to and continuously improve the Playwright automation framework (structure, utilities, reporting, and test patterns).  

  • Implement scalable execution capabilities such as parallelization, environment orchestration, and reliable test data management.  

  • Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines (PR validation and nightly runs), with clear reporting and quality gates to support fast, reliable releases.  

  • Leverage AI/LLM tooling (where approved) to accelerate test case authoring, refactoring, and failure triage (log/trace summarization).  

  • Follow responsible AI and data-handling guidelines; collaborate with Security/Platform teams to ensure compliant use of AI-enabled testing.  

  • Contribute ideas and small proofs-of-concept to improve test intelligence (failure clustering, flaky detection), as needed.  

Collaboration  

  • Partner   with engineers, product owners, and DevOps to clarify acceptance criteria and ensure testability of requirements.  

  • Participate in code reviews for automation and share best practices for stable, maintainable tests.  

  • Promote shift-left quality by adding automation early in the lifecycle and providing fast feedback to the team.  

Quality Engineering & Governance  

  • Define automation scope for critical business journeys and ensure coverage for new/changed features.  

  • Track and report quality metrics (pass rate, stability/flakiness, defect leakage) and propose improvements.  

  • Communicate test status, risks, and release readiness to stakeholders with clear, actionable information.  

Required   Skills & Experience  

  • 5-7 years of hands-on experience in test automation for web (and/or mobile) applications, including designing and   maintaining   automation frameworks.  

  • Strong   proficiency   in   TypeScript/JavaScript .  

  • Expertise   in architecting and scaling cross-platform test execution using   BrowserStack   SDK/Automate   in CI/CD environments  

  • Deep experience integrating automation into   CI/CD pipelines .  

  • Practical experience using or operationalizing   AI/LLM-based testing tools .  

  • Familiarity with agent-based testing concepts and orchestration patterns (e.g., MCP or similar) is a plus.  

  • Ability to influence quality outcomes through strong collaboration, clear communication, and pragmatic decision-making.  

  • Experience making architecture-level automation decisions in complex environments.  

  • Strong system-thinking mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk.  

  • Strong background in Agile, DevOps, and continuous testing practices.  

  • Experience supporting cloud-native, microservices, and API-driven systems.  

Preferred Qualifications  

  • Experience in enterprise-scale or regulated environments.  

  • Exposure to CIAM, security testing, or identity-centric platforms.  

  • Prior experience driving quality transformation or modernization initiatives.  

  • Familiarity with observability, analytics, and test intelligence platforms.
