Freelancer for a Project in Spain (need to work closely with Spain Team)

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior QA Engineer with deep expertise in end-to-end (E2E) automated testing for modern web applications built with React and Next.js. This role focuses exclusively on test automation using Playwright, Cypress, and cutting-edge AI-powered QA tools. You will play a key role in building robust testing infrastructure, accelerating feedback loops, and improving test coverage across complex, dynamic frontend architectures.

If you're passionate about automation, love exploring the latest in AI-enabled testing, and thrive in fast-paced, tech-forward environments, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain high-quality E2E automated test suites using Playwright and Cypress tailored for React/Next.js applications.
• Explore, evaluate, and implement AI-driven testing tools (e.g., QA. tech or similar) to reduce manual test creation and maintenance.
• Develop test strategies optimized for SSR/CSR architectures, dynamic routing, and API integrations in modern frontend stacks.
• Collaborate closely with Developers, Designers, and DevOps to enforce best testing practices and ensure efficient CI/CD workflows.
• Investigate and report issues with detailed bug documentation and feedback loops to dev teams.
• Optimize test reliability and execution speed by minimizing test flakiness and leveraging parallelization and cloud testing platforms.
• Stay ahead of the curve with emerging trends in AI-assisted QA automation, and proactively integrate advancements into the workflow.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Proven experience in Playwright: setup, advanced scripting, assertions, and Next.js-specific test optimization.
• Strong proficiency in Cypress: component and E2E testing, and seamless integration with React-based projects.
• Solid JavaScript/TypeScript programming skills and familiarity with modern frontend ecosystems.
• Familiarity with AI-based testing platforms and concepts: self-healing tests, adaptive test generation, and visual regression powered by AI agents.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Vercel) and test automation integration.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving abilities, including log analysis and cross-browser testing.
• Ability to interpret product requirements, user flows, and edge cases into actionable test scenarios.

Preferred Experience:

• Direct experience with AI-powered E2E platforms (e.g., QA. tech, Posium.ai, Sendbird).
• Awareness of the evolving React/Next.js testing ecosystem, including SSR/ISR testing strategies.
• Exposure to AI agents for auto-generating test scripts, performing test execution, and analyzing test failures through clustering or LLM-based summarization.
• Contributions to open-source QA/testing tools or frameworks is a plus.
