About the job:

Our vision is to provide people with secure access to any application in one click or less. And our promise is to make identity work for everyone—whether you’re a developer looking to innovate, or a security professional looking to mitigate. We are looking for curious, excited, boundary-pushing team members. So, if you’re a big thinker who is nimble and adaptable, this may be an ideal place for you to shine.

Client is looking for a Quality Engineer to join our Quality team working on the Client's product. The Quality team within Client is responsible for driving the culture of quality across the organization. In this role, you will work very closely with other product groups in the company to scale quality to each team. The ideal candidate is passionate about quality, a self-starter, intellectually curious, and brings a lot of experience supporting testing tools and frameworks.

Responsibilities:

• Legacy Test Recovery: Take ownership of "quarantined" or long-failing test suites and perform the necessary surgery to make them functional and reliable again.

• Playwright Optimization: Refactor existing scripts using Playwright to improve execution speed and eliminate flakiness.

• Code Maintenance: Proactively update test logic in response to UI/API changes to prevent future regressions.

• Root Cause Analysis: Dive deep into test failures to determine if the cause is a product bug, a stale test script, or environment instability.

• Quality Reporting: Provide updates on the health of the restored suites, ensuring the broader engineering team has high confidence in the automated signals.

Required Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of experience as SDET. You should be comfortable jumping into complex, existing codebases and making immediate improvements.

• 3-5 years of experience in test automation framework and tooling. Specifically, playwright. You should know how to leverage its advanced features (locators, auto-waiting, tracing) to stabilize tests.

• Highly proficient in NodeJS. You should write clean, maintainable, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript code.

• You find it satisfying to debug, troubleshoot, and solve puzzles. You are persistent when faced with tests that fail intermittently.

• As a dedicated maintenance engineer, you are a self-starter who can prioritize a backlog of failing tests without constant oversight.

• Ability to clearly document why a test was failing and what was done to remediate it.

Education and Training:

• BS Computer Science or related experience.
