Senior Test Automation Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer based in Netherlands.
This is a senior QA automation role focused on driving a true automation-first engineering culture within a highly impactful, globally distributed organization. You will play a key role in transforming manual testing workflows into scalable, automated test coverage across web applications and APIs. The environment is already supported by a mature automation framework, enabling you to contribute immediately and focus on expanding coverage, improving reliability, and accelerating delivery speed. You will work across the full testing lifecycle—from understanding user stories to designing manual test cases and converting them into robust automated scripts. The role places strong emphasis on GraphQL API testing, Playwright-based UI automation, and CI/CD integration to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops. This is a hands-on, technically deep position in a mission-driven organization solving real-world infrastructure challenges at global scale.

Accountabilities:

• Own the end-to-end testing lifecycle by analyzing user stories, designing structured manual test cases, and translating them into scalable automated test suites.


• Expand, maintain, and improve the existing Playwright and TypeScript automation framework, ensuring stability, readability, and efficiency of test coverage.


• Convert existing manual test backlogs into automated regression tests, significantly increasing automation coverage across the product.


• Design and execute automated tests for GraphQL APIs, ensuring schema accuracy, data consistency, and system reliability across services.


• Perform detailed manual testing of web applications to validate functionality, UI/UX behavior, and edge cases prior to automation.


• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to ensure fast and reliable feedback for engineering teams.


• Review and maintain high standards for test code quality, test data management, and overall automation best practices.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Software Quality Engineering with a strong focus on test automation.


• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and scalable automation code.


• Proven hands-on experience with Playwright for UI test automation in complex web applications.


• Strong experience testing GraphQL APIs using relevant tools and frameworks (e.g., Playwright APIRequest or similar).


• Ability to design structured manual test cases from complex user stories and translate them into automation-ready scenarios.


• Deep understanding of web technologies including DOM structure, CSS behavior, and browser developer tools.


• Experience working within CI/CD environments and integrating automated testing into deployment pipelines.


• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and ability to identify edge cases and system weaknesses.


• Comfortable working in distributed, collaborative, and fast-paced engineering environments.


• Nice-to-have: experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor) and Agile tooling such as ClickUp or Notion.

• Fully remote working model with international team collaboration.


• Opportunity to work with a mature automation framework and make immediate impact.


• High ownership role in shaping automation strategy and expanding test coverage.


• Exposure to modern technologies including Playwright, TypeScript, GraphQL, and CI/CD pipelines.


• Work within a mission-driven organization solving large-scale, real-world infrastructure challenges.


• Collaborative, globally distributed engineering culture with strong emphasis on autonomy.


• Opportunity to contribute to an automation-first transformation across engineering workflows.
