Job description
QA Automation Engineer Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.
S. Business Hours Location: Remote (LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South Africa Preferred) About the Role Pavago is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing, product-focused technology company that is strengthening its automation infrastructure and redefining software quality through intelligent automation.
They are looking for a senior-level QA Automation Engineer who takes ownership of test systems, framework stability, and regression coverage.
This is an automation-first engineering role working directly with frontend and backend teams to ensure product reliability at scale.
This is not a manual QA position.
It is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role focused on Playwright, TypeScript, automation architecture, and CI/CD integration.
What You’ll Own Automation Framework Development • Develop and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automation tests using Playwright and TypeScript • Expand automation coverage across critical product workflows and user journeys • Improve framework reliability, maintainability, and execution speed • Build reusable automation utilities, fixtures, and testing patterns Test Stability & Reliability • Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests • Diagnose failures related to asynchronous behavior, network requests, timing, and DOM interactions • Improve regression suite consistency and reduce false positives • Maintain stable test environments and reliable test data strategies CI/CD & Engineering Collaboration • Integrate automated tests seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines • Collaborate directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development and release cycles • Participate in architecture and testing discussions to improve overall engineering quality • Ensure automation runs efficiently within deployment workflows AI-Assisted Testing & Quality Innovation • Utilize AI tools and modern automation workflows to improve exploratory testing and edge-case detection • Continuously evaluate opportunities to improve testing speed, coverage, and intelligence through automation and AI-assisted workflows What Makes You a Great Fit • You think like an engineer first and a tester second • You enjoy solving automation instability and infrastructure problems • You take ownership of framework quality and long-term maintainability • You are proactive, detail-oriented, and highly analytical • You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with engineering teams • You thrive in low-management, fast-moving product environments Required Experience & Skills • Strong proficiency in TypeScript • Hands-on experience with Playwright (or strong Cypress background with willingness to transition) • Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks • Strong understanding of: • DOM interaction • Network requests • Asynchronous behavior • Diagnosing flaky tests • Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills Preferred Experience • Experience building automation infrastructure from scratch • Test data management and environment strategy experience • Experience testing B2B SaaS platforms • Familiarity with multi-tenant systems and role-based access testing • Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows and tooling • Experience working in modern Agile or product-led engineering environments What a Typical Day Looks Like A QA Automation Engineer’s day revolves around improving test reliability, expanding automation coverage, and supporting engineering quality.
You will: • Build and maintain Playwright automation tests for new and existing features • Debug flaky tests and improve framework stability • Collaborate with engineers on feature releases and regression prevention • Review CI/CD execution results and troubleshoot failures • Improve automation performance, speed, and reliability • Support exploratory testing workflows using AI-assisted tooling • Maintain scalable, clean, and reusable testing infrastructure In essence: you ensure software quality is scalable, automated, reliable, and deeply integrated into the engineering process.
Key Metrics for Success • Increased automation coverage across critical workflows • Reduction in flaky tests and regression failures • Stable and reliable CI/CD automation execution • Faster test execution and release confidence • Improved product reliability and reduced production issues • Strong collaboration and engineering feedback Interview Process • Initial Screening Call (Pavago) • Technical Assessment / Automation Review • Client Technical Interview • Final Interview (Culture & Ownership Fit) • Offer & Onboarding #QAAutomation #Playwright #TypeScript #AutomationEngineer #SoftwareTesting #RemoteJobs #SaaS #Engineering #Cypress #CI_CD #RemoteWork
