📋 Description

• Own the E2E test suite. Design, build, and maintain end-to-end automated tests in Playwright (TypeScript) covering our critical user journeys across products. • Backfill and prioritize coverage. Audit what we have, identify the highest-risk gaps, and systematically close them. • Kill flakiness. Own suite reliability end to end: root-cause flaky tests, establish quarantine and retry policies, manage test data and environment stability, and keep signal-to-noise high enough that a red build means something. • Shape CI integration. Partner with our DevOps engineer on where tests run in the pipeline, execution frequency, parallelization, runtime budgets, and merge/deploy gating. • Test at the right layer. Know when a check belongs at the API or integration layer instead of the browser, and structure the suite so it stays fast as it grows. • Enable the team. Coach developers on writing good Playwright tests, review test code, and establish patterns, utilities, and documentation so test authorship scales beyond you. • Report on quality. Co-own quality metrics including test coverage of critical paths, suite reliability, and defect escape rate, and communicate trends to engineering leadership. • Use modern tooling. Leverage AI-assisted development (we use Claude Code across engineering) and Playwright's evolving tooling to accelerate test authoring and maintenance.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in quality engineering, test automation, or software engineering with a strong automation focus. • Deep hands-on Playwright expertise. You've built and maintained substantial E2E suites, not just contributed tests to one. • Strong TypeScript/JavaScript proficiency. You write test code you'd be comfortable shipping to production. • CI/CD fluency. Experience integrating and operating test suites in pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar), including parallelization and selective execution strategies. • A track record of fixing flakiness. You can talk concretely about how you diagnosed and eliminated unreliable tests at scale. • Independence and ownership. You can take an ambiguous mandate ("our test coverage needs to be better") and turn it into a prioritized plan you drive to completion. • Teaching instincts. You've mentored engineers, run code reviews, or otherwise raised a team's testing bar. • Nice to Have: • API-layer test automation experience (REST, contract testing). • Experience defining quality metrics (defect escape rate, coverage models) and reporting to leadership. • Familiarity with Ruby on Rails applications (our primary application stack - you won't write much Ruby, but you'll test Rails apps). • Experience with test data management, environment provisioning, or Docker-based test infrastructure. • Experience using AI-assisted tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Playwright codegen/MCP) in a testing workflow.

🏖️ Benefits

• Impactful insurance and benefit options, including 2 medical plans to choose from, 100% coverage of employee dental and vision insurance premiums, HSA seed, company-paid STD, LTD, life insurance, and telemedicine, and a wellness benefit of $400/year. • Policies that support a healthy work/life harmony, including Flexible PTO, 14 paid company holidays, paid parental leave, and give back days • 401(k) with 4% company match and immediate vesting • A fully remote work culture with a monthly remote work reimbursement ($600/year) to support our distributed team and an annual, in-person company kickoff • Challenging problems to solve with a committed and supportive team who are invested in your growth and development • A wonderfully quirky culture where you’re encouraged to bring your whole self to work
