> Pavago · Pakistan (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-05-07

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

### **QA Automation Engineer**

**Position Type:** Full-Time, Remote  
**Working Hours:** U.S. Business Hours  
**Location:** Remote (LATAM, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, South Africa Preferred)

### **About the Role**

Pavago is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing, product-focused technology company that is strengthening its automation infrastructure and redefining software quality through intelligent automation.

They are looking for a senior-level QA Automation Engineer who takes ownership of test systems, framework stability, and regression coverage. This is an automation-first engineering role working directly with frontend and backend teams to ensure product reliability at scale.

This is not a manual QA position. It is a highly technical, hands-on engineering role focused on Playwright, TypeScript, automation architecture, and CI/CD integration.

### **What You’ll Own**

### **Automation Framework Development**

• Develop and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automation tests using Playwright and TypeScript  
• Expand automation coverage across critical product workflows and user journeys  
• Improve framework reliability, maintainability, and execution speed  
• Build reusable automation utilities, fixtures, and testing patterns

### **Test Stability & Reliability**

• Identify, troubleshoot, and eliminate flaky tests  
• Diagnose failures related to asynchronous behavior, network requests, timing, and DOM interactions  
• Improve regression suite consistency and reduce false positives  
• Maintain stable test environments and reliable test data strategies

### **CI/CD & Engineering Collaboration**

• Integrate automated tests seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines  
• Collaborate directly with frontend and backend engineers during feature development and release cycles  
• Participate in architecture and testing discussions to improve overall engineering quality  
• Ensure automation runs efficiently within deployment workflows

### **AI-Assisted Testing & Quality Innovation**

• Utilize AI tools and modern automation workflows to improve exploratory testing and edge-case detection  
• Continuously evaluate opportunities to improve testing speed, coverage, and intelligence through automation and AI-assisted workflows

### **What Makes You a Great Fit**

• You think like an engineer first and a tester second  
• You enjoy solving automation instability and infrastructure problems  
• You take ownership of framework quality and long-term maintainability  
• You are proactive, detail-oriented, and highly analytical  
• You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with engineering teams  
• You thrive in low-management, fast-moving product environments

### **Required Experience & Skills**

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript  
• Hands-on experience with Playwright (or strong Cypress background with willingness to transition)  
• Proven experience building and maintaining E2E automation frameworks  
• Strong understanding of:  
• DOM interaction  
• Network requests  
• Asynchronous behavior  
• Diagnosing flaky tests  
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines  
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills

### **Preferred Experience**

• Experience building automation infrastructure from scratch  
• Test data management and environment strategy experience  
• Experience testing B2B SaaS platforms  
• Familiarity with multi-tenant systems and role-based access testing  
• Exposure to AI-assisted testing workflows and tooling  
• Experience working in modern Agile or product-led engineering environments

### **What a Typical Day Looks Like**

A QA Automation Engineer’s day revolves around improving test reliability, expanding automation coverage, and supporting engineering quality. You will:  
• Build and maintain Playwright automation tests for new and existing features  
• Debug flaky tests and improve framework stability  
• Collaborate with engineers on feature releases and regression prevention  
• Review CI/CD execution results and troubleshoot failures  
• Improve automation performance, speed, and reliability  
• Support exploratory testing workflows using AI-assisted tooling  
• Maintain scalable, clean, and reusable testing infrastructure

In essence: you ensure software quality is scalable, automated, reliable, and deeply integrated into the engineering process.

### **Key Metrics for Success**

• Increased automation coverage across critical workflows  
• Reduction in flaky tests and regression failures  
• Stable and reliable CI/CD automation execution  
• Faster test execution and release confidence  
• Improved product reliability and reduced production issues  
• Strong collaboration and engineering feedback

### **Interview Process**

• Initial Screening Call (Pavago)  
• Technical Assessment / Automation Review  
• Client Technical Interview  
• Final Interview (Culture & Ownership Fit)  
• Offer & Onboarding
