Automation Delivery & Ownership 

• Own and drive automation for critical business and customer journeys
• Identify, prioritise, and implement automation opportunities to reduce manual regression effort 
• Ensure automation coverage, reliability, and execution speed meet delivery expectations 
• Act as a hands-on automation lead within delivery squads 

Hands-On Automation Engineering 

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright with TypeScript 
• Own and evolve the automation framework, including reusable components and utilities 
• Implement and maintain CI/CD integration for automated tests 
• Execute tests across browsers and environments using cloud platforms (e.g. LambdaTest or similar)
• Apply strong engineering practices including version control, code reviews, and automation standards 

API & Integration Testing 

• Design and automate API tests using tools such as Postman and Playwright 
• Validate integrations, data accuracy, and business rules across systems
• Support contract and integration testing approaches where applicable 

Performance & Non-Functional Testing 

• Design and execute performance, load, and stress tests using K6 (or JMeter where required) 
• Analyse performance results and highlight risks or regressions
• Support performance monitoring and reporting via dashboards (e.g. Grafana or equivalent)

Manual & Exploratory Testing 

• Perform targeted manual testing for complex, high-risk, or exploratory scenarios
• Validate end-to-end workflows and edge cases not suitable for automation
• Support usability and experience-focused testing 

Defect & Quality Management 

• Log, track, and validate defects using Jira 
• Participate in defect triage and collaborate closely with engineering teams 
• Use defect trends and automation insights to improve test coverage and quality 

Test Management, Data & Reporting 

• Maintain test cases and automation artefacts in XRAY(Test Management) or equivalent tools 
• Manage test data and environment readiness for automated testing 
• Provide clear reporting on automation progress, coverage, and quality risks to the QA Manager

Experience & Profile 

• 5–8 years of experience in QA / Quality Engineering with strong automation focus 
• Proven hands-on experience testing web-based and API-driven systems
• Strong experience working in Agile delivery environments 
• Comfortable owning automation delivery end-to-end while collaborating across teams 

Technical Skills 

• Test automation using Playwright + TypeScript 
• Automation framework design and maintenance 
• API testing (Postman, Playwright, or similar) 
• Performance testing using K6 or JMeter 
• CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git) 
• Cloud-based cross-browser testing platforms 
• Test management and defect tracking tools (XRAY, Jira) 

Professional Attributes 

• Strong hands-on technical mindset 
• Proactive, accountable, and delivery-focused 
• High attention to detail and quality 
• Able to work independently and within cross-functional teams 
• Clear and practical communicator of technical issues and risks

AI-Enabled Testing & Quality Innovation

• Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted testing tools to improve test coverage, speed, and defect detection
• Leverage AI to assist with test case generation, test maintenance, and regression optimisation 
• Use AI-driven insights to identify high-risk areas, flaky tests, and automation gaps 
• Experiment with AI support for exploratory testing, test data generation, and failure analysis
• Collaborate with the QA Manager to responsibly introduce AI into testing practices, ensuring reliability and governance
