About the role

Senior QA Engineer focusing on AI-assisted test automation and AI-powered testing strategies within a remote-enabled environment, reporting to the Senior Retail Technology Architect.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable automation suites using Playwright across web, API, and mobile, contributing to broader QA frameworks and release validation standards.
  • Use AI coding assistants and agents to generate test plans, test cases, page objects, and test data from requirements, Jira stories, and PR diffs.
  • Review, validate, and harden every AI-generated test before it merges — own the correctness of the suite regardless of what wrote the code.
  • Drive down flaky tests and maintenance cost through resilient locator strategies, AI-assisted self-healing, and automated failure triage.
  • Integrate automated quality gates into GitHub Actions CI/CD so every deploy is validated by the pipeline.
  • Build and maintain functional, regression, API, and performance/load testing coverage using tools like Postman, JMeter, or k6.
  • Determine what should be automated, what can be delegated to AI, and what requires human testing; balance coverage, risk, and release timelines.
  • Perform focused exploratory testing on new features, UI/UX changes, and complex user flows to catch edge cases and usability issues.
  • Turn escaped defects into automated regression checks to strengthen the suite with each release.
  • Partner with engineers to embed tests, API contract checks, and AI-assisted code review early in the SDLC to reduce downstream defect costs.
  • Help define how to test AI-powered customer experiences where outputs are non-deterministic and need evaluation rubrics.
  • Track and report quality metrics (automation coverage, defect escape rate, flake rate, test cycle time) to show automation impact.
  • Collaborate with QA peers and engineering teams, sharing knowledge, best practices, and AI prompts/workflows.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in Quality Assurance and Testing, including 3+ years building and maintaining test automation in CI/CD.
  • Proven hands-on experience with Playwright for web and API E2E automation; Cypress or Selenium experience is a plus.
  • Strong automation fundamentals: design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable test suites and frameworks; diagnose and eliminate flaky tests.
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript or Python (Java is a plus); write test code to production standards.
  • Hands-on use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to write, refactor, and debug test code with validation of AI output.
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred), including parallel execution, reporting, and quality gates.
  • Solid experience with functional, regression, API, and performance/load testing (Postman, JMeter, k6, or equivalent).
  • Strong exploratory testing skills and judgment to build risk-based test strategies across automated, AI-assisted, and manual coverage.
  • Demonstrated SDLC and Agile experience with defect lifecycle management using Jira and TestRail.
  • Ability to operate effectively under a steady release cadence and manage competing priorities with minimal supervision.
