Job Summary:

We are looking for a QA Automation Engineer with strong expertise in Playwright test automation to drive quality assurance across a modern, AI-enabled digital commerce platform. The role will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automated test frameworks covering end-to-end customer journeys, API integrations, and AI-powered capabilities. Working closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams, the successful candidate will ensure high levels of software quality through automated functional, regression, performance, and validation testing.

Responsibilities :

- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end automated test suites using Playwright (TypeScript) covering core commerce journeys - product discovery, search, cart, checkout, order management, and payment flows.
- Develop test strategies for AI-powered features (conversational assistants, personalized recommendations, semantic search), including approaches for non-deterministic outputs, response quality validation, and regression detection.
- Build and maintain API-level test automation (REST/GraphQL) validating contracts between frontend, backend microservices, and AI services (Azure OpenAI/Azure AI Foundry endpoints).
- Implement cross-browser and cross-device test coverage (desktop, mobile web) using Playwright's multi-browser capabilities, integrated into visual regression testing where relevant.
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions), enabling shift-left testing, parallel execution, and fast feedback on every build/deployment.
- Design and execute performance and load testing for peak retail scenarios (flash sales, seasonal promotions) using tools such as k6 or Azure Load Testing, identifying bottlenecks across the stack.
- Define and track quality metrics (test coverage, defect leakage, flakiness rate), triage failures, and collaborate with engineering teams to root-cause and resolve issues quickly.
- Establish test data management and environment strategies (mocking/stubbing AI responses, synthetic commerce data) to ensure reliable, repeatable test execution across environments.

Skills Required :

• 4-7 years in QA/test engineering
• At least 2-3 years building and maintaining automated test suites using Playwright, ideally within e-commerce or high-transaction-volume platforms with AI-driven features.
