• Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks
• Solid understanding of:
• DOM interaction
• Network requests
• Asynchronous behavior
• Diagnosing flaky tests
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD environments

Preferred Experience

• Experience setting up E2E test infrastructure from scratch
• Test data management strategies
• Experience testing B2B SaaS platforms
• Multi-tenant systems and role-based access testing
• Familiarity with AI-assisted testing workflows

Soft Skills

• Strong ownership mindset
• Clear and professional communication
• Problem-solving approach to automation instability
• Comfortable operating in a low-management environment
• Growth-oriented and adaptable

• Technical Assessment / Automation Review
• Practical discussion or exercise focused on Playwright, TypeScript, and framework design.
• Client Technical Interview
• Deep dive into automation architecture, CI/CD integration, and problem-solving approach.
