What They're Looking For.
Must Have
Solid, multi-year hands-on experience writing well-structured, maintainable test automation in one of our primary stacks (Playwright/TypeScript or Java/Selenium), working familiarity in the other (enough to read it, contribute small changes, and reason about trade-offs), understanding of test design principles — comprehensive coverage, meaningful assertions, negative testing, and tests that verify actual application behavior, The discipline to write and review clean, production-quality code that others can learn from and build upon, A track record of reviewing other engineers' test code — spotting problems quickly, communicating fixes constructively, and raising the bar on a team's collective work, Clear technical communication — you can write documentation that onboards others, explain technical decisions in plain language, and deliver training that lands across skill levels, A genuine interest in helping others improve — you enjoy pairing, reviewing work constructively, and building materials that make the next person's job easier, A thoughtful, opinionated relationship with your tools — you can articulate why a stack or approach is the right fit (or isn't) for a given problem, grounded in real experience, Comfort with CI/CD integration and the infrastructure that supports automated testing at scale — enough to debug a broken pipeline alongside a product-team QA, Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and a willingness to explore how AI can improve testing workflows for the teams you support, Experience with Docker and containerized test environments for consistent, reproducible test execution across local and CI environments
Nice to Have
working depth in both Playwright/TypeScript and Java/Selenium (rather than one primary + one familiar), Experience designing test frameworks from scratch (not just consuming and extending them) — packaging libraries for internal distribution, defining shared conventions, etc., Prior experience creating or contributing to training programs, workshops, or internal knowledge bases, Familiarity with test management tools and their integration into QA workflows, Experience applying AI tools to enhance automation development, test creation, or defect analysis, Prior experience working as part of a globally-distributed team across multiple timezones
