Product Quality & Test Automation Engineer

The Product Quality & Test Automation Engineer ensures system reliability by understanding client implementations, creating structured test cases, and automating high-risk scenarios to guarantee quality before every software release.

Role Title: Product Quality & Test Automation Engineer

Role Purpose

This role exists to ensure that final delivery quality is close to guaranteed.

The Product Quality & Test Automation Engineer is responsible for deeply understanding how each of our turnkey client implementations work, translating functional behaviour into structured test cases, and ensuring that all high-risk usage scenarios are automatically tested before ANY new version of the system is deployed.

The goal is: zero-day regressions post go-live.

Core Responsibilities

Product & domain understanding

• Fully comprehend the business workflow of each client solution (not just screens and endpoints — actual business logic)
• Identify nuances, edge cases, and real-life usage patterns that developers may not catch
• Participate in requirements refinement and feature estimation to influence design early

Test case design & coverage

• Document user journeys, usage scenarios, data dependencies, "if X / then Y" logic
• Write test plans and test case libraries that reflect real-world usage not just "happy path"
• Maintain a public catalogue of coverage (what's tested / what's not)

Automated test engineering

• Build and maintain automated test suites (Playwright MCP or equivalent)
• Ensure tests are readable, modular, CI-friendly and linked to defined scenarios
• Own automated regression packs per solution

Release gate keeping

• Run automated regression tests on Release Candidates before deployments
• Issue release "Go / No-Go" quality signoff
• After each post-go-live incident, reverse-engineer a test scenario so that issue cannot ever recur silently

Requirements

Experience

• 3-5 years in QA engineering / test automation
• Strong JavaScript proficiency for test automation
• Experience with modern test frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
• SQL experience (writing queries, understanding data relationships)

Technical Skills

• Frontend testing (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
• API testing and backend validation
• Database testing (SQL Server, Supabase)
• CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions)
• AWS services (Lambdas, Amplify)
• Version control (Git/GitHub)

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor)
• Prior work in product/SaaS environments
• Understanding of serverless architectures

Ideal Profile

• Deep curiosity + systems thinking
• Very strong communication + documentation habit
• Treats quality as a product line, not a task
• Takes ownership of outcomes, not just outputs
• Can work independently and collaboratively

Work Arrangement

• Hybrid (details to be discussed)
