Automation Architect – remote

OUR GOAL: 
Treat our consultants and clients the way we would like others to treat us!
 
Interested in joining our team? Check out the opportunity below and apply today!
  
As an Automation Architect, you will design, build, and scale modern, intelligent end-to-end automation frameworks that ensure high release confidence across all product lines, with a strong focus on Angular-based web applications. This role requires deep hands-on expertise in Playwright (TypeScript) and mandatory experience using AI to create, maintain, and stabilize automated tests.
 
**Remote – EST hours are preferred.

You will be responsible for architecting highly scalable automation solutions that support parallel and sharded execution, seamless CI/CD integration via GitHub Actions, and cloud-based execution using BrowserStack. A core focus of this role is leveraging AI-driven automation techniques to reduce flakiness, accelerate test creation, optimize execution, and deliver actionable quality insights, particularly in complex, dynamic Angular UIs.

This is a hands-on role where you will drive framework evolution, define best practices, and champion the adoption of intelligent, self-healing automation across the organization.
 
Must Have for this role:

• We are looking for Automation Architect who has hands on experience in end-to-end automation frameworks that ensure high release confidence across all product lines, with a strong focus on Angular-based web applications.
• Someone with hands on experience in running automation eco system of stability and auto correction of the scripts.
• This person will be working with cross functional teams.
• Candidate should have experience in generating test plans, and converting them into automations.
• Someone with strong AI background and able to work on Gen AI and hands on experience in POCS.
• Looking for some who can design, implement, and maintain a Playwright (TypeScript) automation framework focused on scalability, maintainability, and reliability for Angular applications.
• Candidates must have experience in TypeScript, Playwright and strong Angular.
• Looking for someone with WCAG knowledge.
• Someone with Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or 8+ years of equivalent experience in test automation and framework design.

 
Key Responsibilities
Automation Framework & Engineering

• Design, implement, and maintain a Playwright (TypeScript) automation framework focused on scalability, maintainability, and reliability for Angular applications.
• Build reusable utilities, fixtures, and test patterns aligned with Angular architecture, including component-based UIs, routing, and asynchronous rendering.
• Address Angular-specific automation challenges such as change detection, dynamic DOM updates, async operations, and test synchronization.
• Ensure cross-browser, cross-device, and cross-OS test coverage.

AI-Driven Automation (Mandatory)

• Use AI to create automated tests, accelerating UI, API, and end-to-end test development for Angular workflows.
• Apply AI-based self-healing mechanisms to automatically adapt to frequent Angular UI, DOM, and locator changes.
• Identify, analyze, and fix flaky tests using AI, including issues related to timing, synchronization, change detection, and environment instability.
• Leverage AI-assisted failure analysis to cluster failures and highlight root causes.
• Implement intelligent test selection and prioritization to reduce unnecessary CI/CD execution.
• Continuously improve test stability, accuracy, and execution performance using AI-driven insights.

CI/CD & Cloud Execution

• Build, configure, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for automated test execution.
• Enable parallel execution and test sharding to improve feedback cycles.
• Integrate and manage BrowserStack or similar cloud testing platforms for scalable, distributed execution across browsers and devices.

Test Coverage & Quality Engineering

• Expand and maintain automation coverage across Angular UI, REST APIs, and accessibility (WCAG/A11Y).
• Collaborate with engineering and QA teams to align automation with Angular product workflows and risk areas.
• Perform exploratory or manual testing when needed to better understand complex Angular user flows and edge cases.

Reporting & Observability

• Generate and analyze automation test reports to identify failures, flakiness, and trends.
• Integrate test results with observability and monitoring tools to correlate failures with system health.
• Use data and insights to continuously improve automation reliability and effectiveness.

Core Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript).
• Strong experience testing Angular applications, including understanding of component lifecycles, routing, and async behavior.
• Mandatory hands-on experience using AI in automation testing, specifically for:
  • Test creation and maintenance
  • Self-healing automation
  • Flaky test detection and automated stabilization
  • AI-assisted failure analysis
• Strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and browser behavior.
• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, especially with GitHub Actions.
• Hands-on experience with BrowserStack or similar cloud device farms.
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, async programming, and microservices-based systems.
• Experience with test management tools (e.g., Tricentis, TestRail, Xray).
• Working knowledge of observability tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic).
• Experience with accessibility testing using tools such as Axe or Evinced.
• Strong hands-on coding and debugging skills in TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Proven ability to design and maintain scalable automation frameworks for Angular applications.
• Practical experience using AI to reduce flakiness and automation maintenance overhead.
• Deep understanding of web fundamentals – DOM structure, selectors, async behavior, and accessibility.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.
• A quality-first mindset with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Curiosity and willingness to adopt AI-driven approaches to modern test automation.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Angular Material, NgRx, or other Angular ecosystem libraries.
• Exposure to AWS or other cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with performance or security testing.
• Experience integrating or evaluating commercial or open-source AI testing tools.
