QA Automation Engineer (Playwright, TypeScript, E2E Testing & CI/CD) – Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours
Preferred Locations: LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South Africa
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients — a fast-growing, product-focused technology company — is hiring a senior-level QA Automation Engineer to strengthen its test automation infrastructure and improve software quality at scale.
This is not a manual QA role.
You’ll take hands-on ownership of:
- Playwright automation
- TypeScript-based testing
- E2E test frameworks
- Regression coverage
- Test stability and flaky-test reduction
- CI/CD integration
- AI-assisted testing workflows
You’ll work directly with frontend and backend engineers to build reliable, scalable automation that increases release confidence and catches problems before they reach production.
If you think like an engineer, enjoy solving difficult automation problems, and care about building maintainable test infrastructure, this role is a strong fit.
What You’ll Own
Test Automation & Framework Development
- Build and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automated tests using:
- Expand automation coverage across critical:
- User journeys
- Product workflows
- Regression scenarios
- Build reusable:
- Test utilities
- Fixtures
- Testing patterns
- Automation components
- Improve framework:
- Maintainability
- Scalability
- Reliability
- Execution speed
- Maintain clean and sustainable automation architecture
Test Stability & Flaky-Test Reduction
- Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests
- Diagnose failures involving:
- DOM interactions
- Network requests
- Asynchronous behavior
- Timing and synchronization
- Test environments
- Reduce false positives and inconsistent failures
- Improve regression suite reliability
- Develop reliable test-data strategies
- Help maintain stable testing environments
CI/CD & Release Automation
- Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Ensure automated test suites run reliably during deployment workflows
- Review CI/CD test results and troubleshoot failures
- Improve execution speed and feedback cycles
- Support release validation and regression prevention
- Increase engineering confidence in production deployments
Engineering Collaboration
- Work directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development
- Collaborate on:
- Testability
- Regression prevention
- Release readiness
- Automation architecture
- Participate in engineering and testing discussions
- Identify quality risks before releases
- Provide clear technical feedback when defects or automation issues are identified
AI-Assisted Testing & Quality Innovation
- Use AI-assisted tools to improve:
- Exploratory testing
- Edge-case identification
- Test development
- Debugging
- Identify opportunities to increase automation coverage and testing efficiency
- Experiment with modern QA and automation workflows
- Help evolve testing practices as AI-assisted engineering tools improve
Required Experience & Skills
Core Requirements
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript
- Hands-on experience with Playwright
- Strong Cypress experience with willingness to transition to Playwright may also be considered
- Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks
- Strong understanding of:
- DOM interaction
- Network requests
- Asynchronous application behavior
- Test synchronization
- Flaky-test diagnosis
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting abilities
- Experience improving automation reliability and regression coverage

- You communicate clearly with frontend and backend engineers
What a Typical Day Looks Like
You might start by reviewing CI/CD test results and investigating a flaky Playwright test affecting the regression suite.
From there, you could build automated coverage for a newly released workflow, improve shared TypeScript fixtures, troubleshoot asynchronous behavior, or collaborate with an engineer on making a feature easier to test reliably.
You’ll also continuously improve test performance, framework stability, and automation coverage while experimenting with AI-assisted approaches to exploratory testing and edge-case detection.
In short: you build the automation infrastructure that keeps software releases fast, reliable, and production-ready.
Key Metrics for Success
- Increased E2E automation coverage
- Reduction in flaky and unreliable tests
- Stable CI/CD test execution
- Faster automated test execution
- Improved regression detection
- Increased release confidence
- Reduction in production issues
- Maintainable and reusable automation architecture
- Strong collaboration with engineering teams
Why This Role Stands Out
- Automation-first engineering role — not manual QA
- Deep hands-on work with Playwright and TypeScript
- Ownership over automation architecture and framework reliability
- Direct collaboration with frontend and backend engineering teams
- Opportunity to improve CI/CD and release quality
- Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows
- High autonomy in a fast-moving product environment
- Fully remote opportunity
