About the Role
This role begins by establishing a strong automated testing foundation using Playwright and TypeScript, then transitions into broader backend development responsibilities. The engineer will enhance software quality by designing test frameworks and directly contributing to production backend services in Java or Kotlin, ensuring platform reliability and seamless pipeline integration.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain backend production systems using Java or Kotlin, moving beyond isolated test scripting
- Create, implement, and manage scalable test automation frameworks using TypeScript and Playwright
- Develop reliable, well-documented functional, integration, and API test cases for backend services and UI layers
- Integrate automated testing workflows into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous validation during builds
- Investigate system failures, analyze root causes of test failures, and resolve cross-layer technical issues
