On-siteEngineering$110k–$140k/yrFull-time
Duties & Responsibilities
- Build and maintain Playwright and TypeScript-based automated tests across UI, API, integration, and regression coverage areas
- Translate product requirements, defects, and API specifications into reliable automated test cases
- Investigate flaky or failing tests, identify root causes, and produce reproducible defect evidence
- Design and maintain OpenCode-based agent workflows for test generation, failure triage, regression selection
- Apply context engineering and cost-efficiency strategies without weakening verification quality
- Develop and maintain test data approaches, including fixtures, synthetic data, and environment-safe datasets for repeatable automation
- Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines with reliable gating, clear failure reporting, and retained test artifacts
Requirements & Qualifications
- 3+ years hands-on SDET experience with demonstrated ownership of automated tests across UI, API, contract, integration, and regression layers
- Strong hands-on experience with Playwright and TypeScript, including fixtures, traces, parallel execution, and CI artifact analysis
- Experience using AI-assisted development or test tools in terminal, CLI, or editor-based workflows (OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, etc.); proven ability to critically review and correct agent-generated tests, commands, and code
- Working knowledge of agent architecture: primary/subagents, scoped tool permissions, repo memory, model routing, and human-in-the-loop review
- CI/CD integration experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)
- API testing fundamentals: REST, OpenAPI, contract testing, auth/authz boundaries, and negative-path validation
- Strong debugging discipline for test failures, flaky behavior, and application defects
Nice to have
- Performance, load, or chaos engineering exposure
- Open-source contributions to test or agentic tooling
- Financial services or regulated environment experience
