Your primary focus will be developing and maintaining comprehensive E2E test suites using Playwright, ensuring new features and critical user journeys are reliable before reaching a rapidly expanding user base. You will work closely with software engineers, UX/UI designers and product owners to understand upcoming functionality, identify risks and define effective testing strategies. The current technology environment includes Next.js 15+, React.js, React Native, Node.js, Nest.js, Expo, Prisma, Tailwind CSS and AWS. Automated testing is primarily developed using Playwright with TypeScript. Key responsibilities include: Design, develop and maintain automated E2E test suites using Playwright. Create automated coverage for new features, pages and critical user workflows. Validate functionality across web and mobile experiences. Perform usability, performance, accessibility and cross-browser testing. Identify regressions and quality risks early in the development lifecycle. Maintain and continuously improve the existing testing infrastructure. Collaborate closely with engineering, product and UX/UI teams. Help define testing standards, processes and quality engineering best practices. Provide technical guidance and leadership to other QA/Test Engineers where required.
