Senior Test Engineer

About the role

This role is for a Senior Test Engineer who will design, build, and maintain scalable test frameworks while improving reliability, speed, and signal quality across CI/CD pipelines. They will partner cross-functionally with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to embed quality early and drive better system outcomes.

• Partner closely with engineers and product teams to catch issues early and improve how we build
• Identify gaps in coverage or process and proactively drive solutions
• Design, build, and maintain test frameworks across:
• Web (TypeScript, Playwright, Appium)
• Mobile (iOS/Android)
• Backend APIs and services (BDD, Cucumber)
• Improve reliability and reduce flakiness in automated tests
• Continuously refine testing approaches to keep up with product and platform changes
• Improve CI/CD pipelines to balance fast feedback with high confidence
• Define and track meaningful quality metrics that reflect real product health
• Help teams make better decisions by providing clear signals, not just more data
• Champion quality as a shared responsibility across teams
• Lead discussions around test strategy and system design
• Mentor engineers and help raise the bar for how we think about quality
• Explore and apply new approaches to testing, including automation and intelligent tooling
• Use data and patterns to prioritize testing efforts and improve efficiency
• Continuously look for ways to reduce manual effort and improve coverage

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in quality engineering, test automation, or software engineering
• Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript in a testing or development environment
• Hands-on experience with frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or WebdriverIO
• Experience testing APIs, distributed systems, and modern web applications
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating testing into release workflows

Qualifications

• You take ownership and follow things through to completion
• You’re proactive — you spot problems early and work to solve them
• You’re comfortable working in ambiguity and bringing structure where needed
• You focus on outcomes and impact, not just activity
• You care deeply about building high-quality products and improving how teams work

Skills

• Experience with mobile automation and tools like BrowserStack is a plus
