About the role

Senior role owning Plane's automated test suite for web and desktop clients, focusing on coverage for concurrent editing, offline recovery, and agent actions, across Cloud, self-hosted, and offline versions, with collaboration across San Francisco, Hyderabad, and community contributors.

Responsibilities

  • Own the automated test suite for Plane's web and desktop clients, from framework design through what runs on every pull request to what runs before a release.
  • Build coverage for concurrent editing, offline and recovery, and agent actions where the correct result is a range rather than a single value.
  • Decide what gets tested and what does not. Coverage is a budget, and you spend it where a failure would reach a customer.
  • Keep the suite fast and trustworthy. Remove flaky tests and prevent engineers from ignoring them.
  • Test what customers actually run: Cloud, self-hosted, and versions months behind ours, across browsers and hardware we do not control.
  • Work daily with engineers and product across San Francisco and Hyderabad, and review the test coverage arriving with community pull requests.
  • Triage failures nobody else wants to own, distinguishing real defects from script/environment problems, and repeat.

Qualifications

  • You have built an automation framework, not only written tests inside one.
  • You are fluent in Playwright or Cypress, and in TypeScript or JavaScript.
  • You have made a flaky suite trustworthy again.
  • You test APIs as well as interfaces (REST endpoints, authentication, and preparing test state).
  • You have run suites in CI and care how long they take (GitHub Actions or comparable).
