The company is seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer in Test for our UI Engineering team. As a senior member of product quality engineering, you will own the test framework and quality strategy for our frontend and platform surfaces, ensuring every UI release meets the highest bar for functional correctness, visual consistency, accessibility, and global usability. The ideal candidate has deep experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, has designed and scaled UI test frameworks, and has a track record of setting technical direction across teams rather than just executing within one.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design and own scalable UI test architecture and frameworks used across multiple frontend teams
- Build and maintain cross-browser (CB) and visual regression testing (VRT) suites to catch UI regressions before release
- Establish automated and manual accessibility (a11y/WCAG) testing practices integrated into CI
- Design and maintain localization/globalization (L10n/G11n) test coverage across locales, languages, and RTL layouts
- Ensure out-of-the-box (OOB) configurations and default behaviors are verified across all supported environments
- Review requirements and design specs to develop test plans and test strategy for platform-level and frontend initiatives
- Work with engineering management to scope and plan cross-team quality engineering efforts
- Clearly communicate and document QE architecture and plans for scrum teams to review and adopt
- Respond to Production issues/alerts and customer issues during on-call rotation
- Mentor SDETs, new hires, and interns; influence engineering-wide quality standard
Minimum REQUIRED Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
- 5+ years of quality engineering experience with deep, hands-on test automation expertise
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to read and write production-quality frontend code
- Hands-on expertise with modern UI testing technologies (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver)
- Proven experience with cross-browser testing (CBT), visual regression testing (VRT), accessibility testing, and localization/globalization testing
- Demonstrated experience designing test architecture and frameworks from the ground up, not just writing tests within an existing one
- Ability to operate and lead with minimal supervision, setting technical direction for other engineers
- Ability to quickly learn new technologies and provide input at an architectural level
