XTEN-AV - Manual/Automation Tester - Software Quality Assurance

Description

About The Role

What You'll Do

• Own the test automation strategy across web/API/mobile; drive shift-left testing with developers.
• Design and maintain robust automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright/Cypress/Selenium/Appium) with clean architecture and reusable utilities.
• Build API automation (REST/GraphQL) including contract tests, schema validation, and negative cases.
• Integrate and stabilize suites in CI/CD (GitHub Actions/GitLab), including parallelization, flaky-test control, and test artifacts (videos, screenshots, logs).
• Implement test data management : deterministic fixtures, environment switches, and stubs/mocks for external services.
• Pair with developers on PR checks, code reviews for testability, and triage of intermittent failures.
• Maintain living documentation : test plans, coverage maps, and runbooks for failures.
  

Must-Have Skills

• 24 years in QA automation for web and/or mobile products.
• Hands-on with at least one UI automation tool : Playwright / Cypress / Selenium (and Appium for mobile, if applicable).
• Strong API testing & automation : Postman/Newman or REST clients + code-level tests (e.g., pytest + requests, SuperTest, or REST Assured).
• Solid programming in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python (framework utilities, page objects/screenplay, helpers, assertions).
• Experience building or extending an automation framework (page objects/screenplay, layers for drivers, selectors, waits, reporting).
• Comfortable with Git, branching, PR reviews, and CI/CD pipelines (set up, cache, matrix, artifacts).
• Clear communication, strong ownership, and the ability to debug failures quickly across logs, traces, and screenshots.
  

Tools & Stacks

• Automation : Playwright/Cypress/Selenium; Appium (if mobile).
• Language & Test Runners : TypeScript/JavaScript (Playwright/Cypress/Jest), or Python (pytest).
• API : Postman/Newman, or code-based tests (pytest + requests / SuperTest).
• CI/CD : GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins (parallel runs, artifacts, notifications).
• Reporting & Quality Gates : Allure/HTML reports, coverage thresholds.
• Version Control : Git.
  

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Automation coverage of critical flows and services.
• Flakiness rate and mean time to isolate (MTTI) for failures.
• Build stability (pass rate) and time to feedback in CI.
• Regression cycle time and escaped defects to production.
