RemoteFull-timePosted 2w ago
About the role
Automation-first, AI-native quality engineering role embedded within engineering squads. Design risk-based test strategies, convert them into automated checks using AI-assisted workflows, and continuously improve software quality, speed, and reliability.
Responsibilities
- Design risk-based test strategies for new features and releases, then rapidly convert those strategies into automated coverage using AI-assisted development workflows
- Use Claude Code within VS Code or equivalent AI coding agents as your primary development environment to generate, scale, and maintain automated test coverage
- Build and maintain automated test suites using Playwright, integrated within GitHub CI/CD pipelines, ensuring quality gates are embedded throughout the software development lifecycle
- Design and implement agentic testing workflows that generate, adapt, and maintain automated tests using AI models and APIs
- Build reusable frameworks, utilities, shared libraries, and AI-powered tools that increase test authoring velocity across engineering teams
- Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to shift quality left, influencing requirements, design decisions, observability, and deployment strategies
- Continuously improve test suite health by reducing flakiness, increasing execution speed, and ensuring reliable quality signals for every release
- Drive quality upstream by identifying risks early and implementing preventative quality practices
- Own and improve quality metrics including automated coverage growth, escaped defects, test execution performance, flakiness rates, and release confidence
- Enable developers to write, execute, and maintain automated tests as part of their daily workflow
Qualifications
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, with the ability to review, validate and debug code across any modern programming language
- Strong experience with modern test automation frameworks, preferably Playwright
- Demonstrated ability to use AI coding agents as a primary development partner for generating, reviewing, debugging, refactoring, and maintaining code
- Comfortable delegating significant portions of implementation work to AI agents while maintaining high engineering and quality standards
- Experience building and maintaining scalable automation frameworks
- Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar platforms
- Experience with agentic testing frameworks, AI-powered testing tools, or LLM API integrations within engineering workflows
- Proven track record of increasing automation coverage, reducing manual effort, and improving software quality outcomes
- Strong understanding of quality engineering principles, test strategy, risk analysis, and defect prevention
- Comfortable working as an embedded engineer within cross-functional product squads
- Strong communication skills with the ability to provide concise, actionable updates and collaborate effectively across teams
- Curiosity, adaptability, and a growth mindset toward emerging AI technologies and engineering practices
