About the role
We're looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to own and scale our end-to-end automation suite for web and Android. This is a foundational hire for our automation strategy: you'll be the technical reference for the framework, define the standards the team will build on, and drive our regression suite from today's early-stage coverage toward full CI/CD-integrated automation. You'll work side by side with the QA Leader and the development teams, and will directly shape how the next Automation Engineer we hire works. - In this role, you'll
- Own, evolve, and harden the automation framework (Playwright for web, Appium + WebDriverIO for Android), building on the existing base and structuring it following the Page Object Model.
- Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end automated tests as part of our release cycles.
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (ideally Jenkins), including triggering, reporting, and gating releases on test results.
- Define the automated regression strategy: select and prioritize critical flows to cover, and set the roadmap to grow coverage toward our target of 80% of the regression suite automated.
- Set the technical standards and best practices (selectors, config management, environment variables, folder structure) that future team members will follow.
- Analyze test run results, identify false positives, report bugs with clear evidence, and follow up until resolution.
- Work with Git in a collaborative branching workflow (pull requests, test code reviews).
- Document test cases, technical decisions, and framework best practices.
- Collaborate closely with QA and Development to embed automation early in the delivery lifecycle and ensure smooth, consistent player experiences across devices.
- Provide clear, ongoing reporting on automation progress, coverage milestones, and risks to stakeholders.
- Estimate and deliver assigned work reliably and to a high standard.
- 5+ years of experience in QA, with at least 3 years focused specifically on test automation (not manual testing with occasional automation exposure).
- Solid, hands-on experience with JavaScript — our automation project is entirely in JS.
- Proven experience writing and maintaining web tests with Playwright.
- Experience with mobile automation on Android using Appium + WebDriverIO.
- Strong experience structuring automation frameworks with the Page Object Model.
- Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or similar) — this is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Fluent with Git: version control, branching strategies, and collaborative workflows (PRs, code review).
- Strong command of web selectors (XPath, getByRole, getByText) and criteria for choosing robust, low-maintenance selectors.
- Experience managing environment variables and configuration across multiple environments.
- Comfortable defining test strategy and coverage priorities, not just executing an existing plan.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and set technical direction for others to follow.
- Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English. Spanish and/or Portuguese a plus. Bonus points if you also have
- Basic Android knowledge: ADB, emulators, installing and managing APKs.
- Experience with non-functional/API testing tools such as Postman or SoapUI.
- Familiarity with Zephyr, X-Ray, or similar JIRA test-management plugins, plus Jira and Confluence.
- Prior experience in the gaming, betting, or fintech industry.
- Experience mentoring or setting standards for other QA/automation engineers. How we do things BetWarrior is a company in expansion.
