▷ Apply Now : SDET SME - Strong handson in cypress io / Playwright and devops CI solutions with excel

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on, results-driven engineer to design, implement, and maintain end-to-end test automation and CI / CD pipelines. You’ll own the automation strategy across Playwright and Cypress test suites, write maintainable tests in TypeScript, and collaborate closely with DevOps and Software Development teams to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable CI solutions.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain robust end-to-end test automation frameworks using Playwright and Cypress with TypeScript.

Develop and maintain CI / CD pipelines and infrastructure as code to enable automated testing, builds, and deployments (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps).

To lead test coverage with leadership guidance

Integrate test automation into CI pipelines, including parallel test execution, test reporting, and artifacts (screenshots, videos, logs).

Build reusable page objects, utilities, and test helpers to maximize test coverage and reduce flakiness.

Define and enforce quality gates (static analysis, linting, type safety, code coverage targets) within CI.

Collaborate with QA, SRE / DevOps, and Development teams to define testing strategies, release processes, and risk-based testing approaches.

Maintain test data management, environment provisioning, and seeding strategies for consistent test runs.

Monitor, triage, and mitigate flaky tests; implement stabilization strategies and root-cause analysis.

Champion good engineering practices : code reviews, pair programming, and documentation.

Write clear, actionable bug reports and contribute to test plans and quality metrics.

Stay current with new tooling, frameworks, and best practices in E2E testing and CI / DevOps.

Required Qualifications

8+ years of hands-on experience in test automation or QA, with substantial work in Playwright and Cypress.

Strong proficiency with TypeScript; solid understanding of modern frontend testing concepts (selectors strategies, wait strategies, reliability patterns).

Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI / CD pipelines and tooling for automated testing (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or equivalent).

Experience with containerized environments (Docker) and orchestration basics (Kubernetes is a plus).

Familiarity with DevOps practices : IaC (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation), secret management, artifact repositories, and monitoring.

Experience with performance, load, or performance-related testing is a plus but not required.

Excellent debugging, diagnostic, and problem-solving skills; strong written and verbal communication.

Ability to work collaboratively across product, engineering, and operations teams.

B.S. / B.A. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with other test frameworks and tools (e.g., Jest, Playwright Test Runner configuration, Cypress Studio).

Knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and deployment patterns.

Experience with feature flags, canary deployments, and release management.

Familiarity with monitoring / logging tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK / EFK stacks).

Prior experience in a DevOps or SRE role.

Technical Skills (Preferred)

Playwright : Test suites, parallel runs, test hooks, locator strategies, network stubbing.

Cypress : End-to-end tests with TypeScript, Cypress commands, fixtures, and plugins.

TypeScript : Generics, advanced types, TSConfig, linting rules.

CI / CD : Workflow creation, matrix builds, caching, artifacts, test reporting.

Testing Libraries : Assert frameworks, reporting (Allure, Mochawesome, or built-in reporters).

Infrastructure as Code : Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent.
