Playwright Tester

Role overview

We are hiring an onshore QA Analyst with strong Playwright automation skills for a digital banking engagement. The ideal candidate brings both abilities: deep hands-on expertise in web, mobile and API automation, and the ability to coordinate effectively with an offshore QA team.

The applications cover digital banking journeys such as member onboarding, consumer and business banking, and loan products, so accuracy and attention to financial workflows matter.

Roles and responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain automated test scripts for web, mobile and API layers using Playwright with JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js).
• Build mobile test automation for iOS and Android using Appium, and run cross-browser and real-device tests on BrowserStack.
• Use AI tools such as Claude and GitHub Copilot to speed up test design, script generation, refactoring and debugging, while reviewing all AI output for accuracy.
• Enhance and extend the automation framework as project needs evolve, including reusable components, utilities and reporting.
• Perform database testing, writing SQL queries to validate data integrity, back-end transactions and data flow across UI, API and database.
• Analyse business requirements and user stories, and turn them into test scenarios, test cases and automation candidates.
• Manage automation code in GitHub (branching, pull requests, code reviews) and integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines.
• Execute functional, regression, integration and end-to-end testing; log, track and retest defects in JIRA.
• Validate banking workflows such as account opening, member onboarding and loan journeys end to end.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and keep test plans and results up to date in Confluence.
• Coordinate daily with the offshore QA team: share priorities, review their test scripts and help resolve blockers.
• Report test progress, execution results and defect status to client stakeholders.
