The ideal candidate has deep experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, has designed and scaled UI test frameworks, and has a track record of setting technical direction across teams rather than just executing within one.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design and own scalable UI test architecture and frameworks used across multiple frontend teams
- Build and maintain cross-browser (CB) and visual regression testing (VRT) suites to catch UI regressions before release
- Establish automated and manual accessibility (a11y/WCAG) testing practices integrated into CI
- Design and maintain localization/globalization (L10n/G11n) test coverage across locales, languages, and RTL layouts
- Ensure out-of-the-box (OOB) configurations and default behaviors are verified across all supported environments
- Review requirements and design specs to develop test plans and test strategy for platform-level and frontend initiatives
- Work with engineering management to scope and plan cross-team quality engineering efforts
- Clearly communicate and document QE architecture and plans for scrum teams to review and adopt
- Respond to Production issues/alerts and customer issues during on-call rotation
- Mentor SDETs, new hires, and interns; influence engineering-wide quality standard
Minimum REQUIRED Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
- 5+ years of quality engineering experience with deep, hands-on test automation expertise
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to read and write production-quality frontend code
- Hands-on expertise with modern UI testing technologies (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver)
- Proven experience with cross-browser testing (CBT), visual regression testing (VRT), accessibility testing, and localization/globalization testing
- Demonstrated experience designing test architecture and frameworks from the ground up, not just writing tests within an existing one
- Ability to operate and lead with minimal supervision, setting technical direction for other engineers
- Ability to quickly learn new technologies and provide input at an architectural level
