About the role

  • We are looking for a pragmatic Automated QA Engineer. The primary goal of this role is to build and maintain a reliable automated testing suite for our WordPress-based digital products.
  • Build Automation: Design, write, and maintain end-to-end (E2E) test scripts using Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript).
  • WordPress Testing: Focus specifically on the quirks and complexities of WordPress environments, including plugin compatibility, theme updates, and custom block validation.
  • Pipeline Integration: Integrate your Playwright tests into our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., github, Octopus Deploy, AWS) to ensure checks run on every pull request.
  • Manual Testing: Perform manual checks when automation isn’t feasible or efficient (e.g., visual layout inspections or one-off edge cases).
  • API Testing: Design, execute, and maintain API tests using Postman to validate backend services, integrations, and data flows supporting WordPress features.
  • Bug Reporting: Write clear, reproducible bug reports with steps, screenshots, and logs.
  • Maintenance: Regularly refactor tests to reduce flakiness. We value stable tests over a high volume of flaky ones.

Requirements

  • Automated Testing Experience: 3+ years of experience in automated QA, with at least 1 year specifically using Playwright.
  • Manual Testing Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in manual web testing, including test case design and execution using TestRail, cross-browser and cross-device testing with BrowserStack, API testing with Postman, and functional, regression, and exploratory testing of web applications.
  • Strong WordPress Knowledge: You aren’t just testing a generic web app; you understand the WP ecosystem (themes, plugins, hooks, database structure and the block editor/Gutenberg).
  • Coding Skills: Strong proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript. You should be comfortable writing clean, reusable code, not just recording scripts.
  • Version Control: Solid understanding of Git (branching, pull requests, resolving conflicts).
  • Objectivity: You know that 100% automation is a myth. You can prioritize critical paths (checkout flows, login, lead forms) over cosmetic details.
  • "Nice to Haves" (Not Dealbreakers): Experience with PHP (to understand the WordPress backend better).
  • Experience with visual regression testing tools (e.g., Percy, BackstopJS, Playwright Visual Comparisons).
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) for setting up local test environments.
Benefits
  • Realistic Expectations: We have value quality over speed. We won't ask you to automate the impossible overnight.
  • Direct Impact: Your work directly prevents critical issues from reaching production.
