Playwright SDET

We are looking for a Playwright SDET to work for our client. The ideal candidate aligns with the responsibilities and qualifications outlined below.

This is a great opportunity for a test automation professional to build robust, scalable automated testing frameworks using Playwright, driving quality across the full development lifecycle, in a hybrid role based in Columbus, OH.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain reliable, scalable automated test suites using Playwright
• Develop test automation and reusable testing utilities using TypeScript/JavaScript
• Design and execute unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
• Apply strong debugging techniques, including mocking, test data management, and negative/edge-case testing
• Troubleshoot test failures using logs, traces, and network diagnostics
• Collaborate with developers to identify testable requirements and improve overall test coverage
• Continuously refine automation strategy and testing best practices across the team

Qualifications

• 3-6+ years of SDET/QA automation experience, including unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test suites with Playwright
• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript development skills
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
• Strong debugging skills, including mocking, test data management, and troubleshooting via logs/traces/network analysis
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail

What Our Client Offers

• Modern automation tooling (Playwright, TypeScript) rather than legacy testing frameworks
• Deep integration into the CI/CD pipeline, with real influence over automation strategy
• A development team that treats test reliability as a shared responsibility, not an afterthought
• Room to tackle complex debugging and edge-case testing, not just surface-level checks
