Shape the utilities market of the future with us!
We are looking for a Test Automation Engineer with 3–6 years of strong experience in Java and JavaScript/TypeScript, with hands-on expertise in Playwright. The role focuses on building scalable automation frameworks from scratch, integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, and working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality, reliable releases.
What is the role about?
Key Responsibilities:
Test Automation & Framework Development
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks from scratch using Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Develop and execute automated test suites for UI and API testing, ensuring high coverage and stability
- Implement end-to-end automation using Playwright and related automation libraries
- Ensure automation solutions follow best practices for maintainability, performance, and scalability
CI/CD & Test Execution
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and/or Jenkins
- Manage test execution, reporting, and traceability using JIRA, Xray, and TestRail
- Maintain automation code using Git, following best practices for branching, reviews, and version control
- Support environment configuration and test setup for consistent execution across environments
Analysis, Quality & Collaboration
- Analyze test results, identify root causes, and collaborate with development teams to resolve issues efficiently
- Improve automation reliability and execution performance through continuous refactoring and optimization
- Contribute to overall test strategy, automation standards, and reporting practices
- Actively participate in requirement analysis and mapping automated tests to requirements
API & Integration Testing
- Design and execute API and integration tests using Playwright request context
- Implement authentication setup via APIs (token/session generation) to optimize test execution
- Perform contract validation, response verification, and chaining of API + UI test flows
- Maintain traceability between automated tests and requirements in JIRA/Xray/TestRail
Must-haves (to thrive in this role)
Required Skills & Experience

- Strong hands-on experience with Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Proven experience in automation framework design and implementation (from scratch or major enhancements)
- Hands-on expertise with Playwright for end-to-end test automation
- Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts with practical experience in GitLab CI and/or Jenkins
- Experience with test management and defect tracking tools: JIRA, Xray, TestRail
- Strong understanding of test strategies, automation best practices, and reporting
Nice-to-haves (great if you have them, but not a dealbreaker)
Preferred Skills :
- Experience with API automation (REST) and integration testing
- Familiarity with test data management, stubbing, and mocking techniques
- Exposure to Docker, containerized test execution, or cloud-based CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with parallel test execution and test optimization strategies
- Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar) for test environments
- Experience with performance, reliability, or non-functional testing
- Understanding of microservices-based architectures
- Familiarity with BDD frameworks or behavior-driven testing approaches
- Experience working in Agile / Scrum development environments
