About the job:

Everbridge is hiring a Senior Quality Engineer with deep Playwright expertise to help lead end-to-end test automation, champion quality practices, and help us ship reliable, high-impact software at speed.

Youll help guide strategy and implementation of UI, API, and integration tests, and partner closely with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to build a modern, scalable quality platform.

What You'll Do:

- Playwright automation: Design, build, and maintain a robust Playwright framework for web apps, including parallelization, test sharding, and cross-browser coverage.

- Shift quality left: Embed testing in the SDLC; coach engineers on testability and quality patterns.

- Increase coverage & speed: Prioritize high-value test cases and drive meaningful coverage.

- API & integration testing: Build reliable API tests (REST).

- CI/CD integration: Run tests in pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps), enable fast feedback with artifacts, traces, and flaky-test quarantine.

- Observability for tests: Leverage Playwrights traces, videos, and screenshots; integrate with logging/monitoring to speed up root cause analysis.

- Non-functional quality: Partner to introduce basic performance and security checks into pipelines.

- Quality leadership: Define quality strategy, standards, and KPIs; mentor SDETs/QEs; influence architecture for reliability.

What You'll Bring:

- 7 to 10+ years in QA/SDET roles, with 3+ years hands-on in Playwright building frameworks and large test suites.

- Strong in TypeScript/JavaScript (or Python) and modern testing patterns (Page Object Model / Screenplay, fixtures, custom reporters).

- Deep knowledge of Playwright features: test runner, traces, network interception/mocking, retries, testStep, fixtures, auto-waits, web-first assertions.

- Experience with API testing, schema/contract validation, and service-level tests.

- Solid CI/CD experience (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps) and containerization (Docker).

- Practical experience with test data mgmt, synthetic data, and environment setup (including ephemeral envs).

- Familiarity with accessibility testing (axe), basic performance checks (Lighthouse, Web Vitals), and security basics (OWASP top 10 awareness).

- Excellent collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills.
