We are seeking a QA Automation Engineer to join our QA team and play a key role in ensuring the quality, stability, and performance of our property management products. You’ll work across multiple product lines within a large-scale monorepo, covering web, mobile, API, and cloud-native services.

Reporting to the Manager of QA and Compliance, you’ll be embedded alongside development teams — including both internal engineers and external development partners — to establish testing standards, expand automation coverage, and strengthen quality gates across our delivery pipeline.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright, following established Page Object Model patterns
  • Analyse and identify the root causes of bugs and support issues, driving effective resolution and prevention across teams.
  • Write and maintain API tests for GraphQL (federated graph) and Twirp/Protobuf RPC services
  • Integrate and maintain automated tests within CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Bazel build system)
  • Ensure functional, non-functional, integration, and data requirements are clearly defined, testable, and agreed upon before development begins, and validate that delivered solutions across backend (Go), frontend (React/TypeScript), and mobile (Flutter) layers fully meet those requirements.
  • Collaborate with development teams — including external development pods — to define test strategies, review quality of deliverables, and communicate quality risks
  • Contribute to backend integration testing for Go services, including database-level tests with PostgreSQL
  • Develop and maintain test data management strategies, including API-based test data creation and cleanup
  • Provide clear, actionable test reporting through Xray/Jira test management integration
  • Leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate test creation and defect analysis
  • Participate in review and documentation of testing artifacts produced by external development partners

Required Skills & Experience

  •  3+ years in a technical QA automation role
  • Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (or similar browser automation tool with willingness to transition)
  • Experience writing tests in TypeScript and at least one backend language
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and build systems — bonus for Bazel or similar hermetic build tools
  • Experience with API testing — REST, GraphQL, or RPC-based services
  • Solid understanding of SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments with cross-functional teams
  • Strong debugging skills — ability to trace issues across frontend, API, and backend layers
  • Strong understanding of AI-driven testing methodologies and practical application of AI tools to improve QA efficiency, coverage, defect detection, and test automation strategy.
  • Attention to detail, self-direction, and ability to manage priorities across concurrent workstreams

Preferred / Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with GCP services (Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Cloud Run) and testing cloud-native architectures
  • Experience working in a monorepo (Bazel, Nx, Turborepo, or similar)
  • Experience with GraphQL federation and codegen tooling
  • Familiarity with Postman or similar API testing collections
  • Experience with mobile testing (Flutter, BrowserStack, or similar device farms)
  • Experience with test management tools (Xray, Zephyr, TestRail)
  • Prior experience working alongside or reviewing deliverables from outsourced/offshore development teams
