• Improve existing test infrastructure to enhance reliability, readability, and execution speed.
• Set up test environments, including mocks/stubs where needed.
• Troubleshoot flaky tests and introduce stability improvements.
• Contribute to documentation and best practices to make it easy for other developers to write tests in the future.
• Occasionally advise developers on writing testable code or integrating testing into CI/CD.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript knowledge is a must).

• Is able to think strategically about test coverage and make informed decisions about priorities.
