What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Senior QA Automation Engineer role in an international product team where AI-augmented testing, end-to-end quality ownership, and engineering collaboration are part of the culture.

At BTC Embedded Systems, I own automation strategy for safety-critical embedded products, leading a Cypress-to-Playwright/TypeScript migration and building a visual regression framework across four automotive/HIL product lines. This reduced flaky failures and escaped bugs by 30–40% and full regression time by roughly 35%.

I’ve introduced Claude Code, Playwright Agents, Skills, MCP, CLI, and Figma MCP across two projects, reducing framework maintenance and test authoring time by 27%. I also expanded UI coverage into GraphQL API testing within CI/CD quality gates, catching roughly 20% more backend defects before release.

Previously at Endava, Variston, Ness Digital Engineering, IT Vizion, Plan.Net Group, and 12snap, I built automation frameworks and regression suites across enterprise, security, automotive, mobile, and web platforms. My work spans Playwright, WebdriverIO, JavaScript, Java, C#, Selenium, API testing, cross-platform testing, and CI/CD integration.

I’m seeking a remote Senior QA Automation Engineer role with an international product team where AI-augmented testing and end-to-end quality ownership are part of the engineering culture.
