Senior AQA Engineer - UI Automation (Playwright)

About the role

Bridgewise is hiring a Senior AQA Engineer with a UI focus. You will own UI automation for its web products and widgets with Playwright and pytest, backed by API tests so every UI flow rests on verified data.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain UI automation with Playwright (Python) and pytest across web apps and embeddable widgets
• Write API tests with the requests library to set up test data, validate backends and cover what the UI depends on
• Build reusable framework parts: page objects, fixtures, test data builders and custom markers
• Keep suites fast and stable: reduce flakiness, run tests in parallel and move tests from unstable to stable CI runs
• Integrate tests into Jenkins pipelines and report results through Allure
• Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Playwright MCP and similar) to generate, review and maintain tests, and share what works with the team
• Work inside a dev team: join refinement, define acceptance criteria and flag coverage gaps early
• Mentor other QA engineers and review their code

Required profile

• 5+ years in test automation, at least 3 writing automation in Python with pytest
• Production-level experience with Playwright (Python preferred)
• Experience writing API tests with the requests library (REST, JSON validation, auth, status and schema checks)
• Practical experience or solid knowledge of using AI tools in test automation
• Strong understanding of locator strategies, waits, test isolation and flaky-test handling
• Experience with CI/CD (Jenkins or similar) and Git workflows
• Good written and spoken English

Nice to have

• Allure reporting, pytest-xdist, Docker
• Visual regression or cross-browser testing
• SQL and data validation
• Testing AI or LLM-based features
• Fintech or investment data background
