Requirements • 5+ years in QA, including at least 3 years in test automation. • 2+ years of experience leading QA engineers or automation teams, owning team performance, processes, and technical direction. • Deep expertise in Playwright (TypeScript) — designing test architecture, writing clean code, and ensuring scalability. • Practical experience building and maintaining automation frameworks for fast-changing web projects. • Experience running and maintaining automation in CI/CD environments (Bitbucket Pipelines, Allure, or similar tools). • Strong communication and leadership skills — able to connect technical decisions with business priorities and team goals. • English: B2 or higher.
