Test Automation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and implement browser‑based automated tests using Playwright to validate web application behaviour.
• Record baseline application workflows against existing IIS‑hosted sites and re‑execute the same tests against Azure‑hosted environments.
• Develop and maintain reliable, reusable Playwright test suites for: Smoke testing (site availability, HTTPS, basic navigation), Critical user journeys and key workflows, and Regression validation post‑migration.
• Configure tests to be environment‑agnostic (IIS vs Azure) using configuration and parameterisation.
• Execute tests locally and via CI/CD pipelines, supporting parallel execution where required.
• Analyse test failures and clearly distinguish between: Application defects, Infrastructure or configuration issues, and Environment‑specific behaviour changes.
• Work closely with: Cloud / Infrastructure Engineers to resolve standard migration issues, and IIS / Windows SMEs when failures indicate platform‑specific behaviour.
• Maintain clear automation documentation and provide visibility of test coverage and results.

Skills

• Degree in Computer Science or in similar areas.
• 3\+ years of experience in similar roles.
• Hands‑on experience with Playwright for browser‑based test automation.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript (or Playwright .NET / Java where applicable).
• Experience automating end‑to‑end tests for web applications.
• Solid understanding of: Web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), Browser behaviour, and HTTP/HTTPS concepts.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Azure DevOps).
• Ability to design resilient tests that tolerate timing and rendering differences across environments.
• Strong analytical skills and clear communication of test results and failures.
• Fluent in English - written and spoken (mandatory).

Nice to Have

• Experience validating applications across infrastructure or cloud migrations.
• Familiarity with IIS‑hosted web applications and common IIS‑related failure patterns.
• Experience running Playwright tests at scale (parallel execution, cloud‑hosted browsers).
• Exposure to Azure‑based testing services or cloud execution environments.
• Understanding of authentication mechanisms (forms auth, Windows auth) from a testing perspective.
