QA Automation Engineer

Description QA Automation Engineer (Playwright, TypeScript, E2E Testing & CI/CD) – RemotePosition Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U. S. Business Hours Preferred Locations: LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South AfricaAbout the RoleAt 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 automationTypeScript-based testingE2E test frameworksRegression coverageTest stability and flaky-test reductionCI/CD integrationAI-assisted testing workflowsYou’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.
