- End- to- End, Functional & Regression Testing

- Automate full E2E, smoke, functional, and regression test suites across Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and mobile emulations

- Script real user interactions through Playwright's powerful Input API (mouse, keyboard, touch, clipboard, etc.)

SecureBlitz Cybersecurity :

- Cross- Browser & Cross- Platform Assurance

- Ensure coverage across Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile environments

Microsoft Azure :

- Embed test suites into Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, GitLab, or CircleCI.

- Automate test execution in cloud environments (including Microsoft Playwright Testing)

Build Reporting & Traceability :

- Generate and maintain test reports, logs, Playwright traces, and videos for debugging

- Integrate reporting artifacts into your CI dashboard or custom reporting system.

Test Strategy & Planning :

- Partner with product owners, developers, and QA to establish and refine test strategies.

- Participate in sprint planning, requirement analysis, test-case design, risk assessment, and coverage planning

Quality & Flakiness Mitigation :

- Identify flaky tests, use retries, and optimize waits/assertions to boost test stability

- Use Playwright's auto-wait, retry logic, and resilience features

Performance & API Testing :

- Optionally automate non-functional and performance tests (using K6, JMeter, etc.)

Maintenance & Scaling :

- Maintain test data and environments; refine automation practices.

- Scale test architecture to support parallel execution, cloud test grids, and regional deployments

Team Collaboration & Mentorship :

- Review code, mentor juniors, and share best practices in test automation

- Actively research and champion new methodologies, libraries, or tool enhancements .

Required Experience & Skills :

- Languages & Tools : JavaScript/TypeScript primary (Python/.NET/Java a plus); strong Git skills
