You'll play a key role in shaping how CivCheck evolves from an early‑stage startup into an enterprise‑ready platform—bringing structure, reliability, and modularity to our codebase. You'll design and maintain test frameworks that provide developers with fast, confident feedback at every level, from unit tests to performance tests. You'll help make our systems more modular and observable, ensuring we can validate correctness, performance, and reliability across releases. This role is ideal for someone who is hands‑on, proactive, and eager to lay the technical foundation for a high‑performing engineering culture. You'll own automation from setup to maintenance, driving consistency, speed, and quality across our releases. Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain end‑to‑end test automation using Playwright or Cypress (JavaScript/TypeScript). Develop unit and integration test suites for our front‑end applications using frameworks like Jest or Vitest. Build scalable, reliable, and maintainable test suites for integration workflows. Collaborate cross‑functionally with developers, product managers, and other engineers to define test strategies and acceptance criteria. Refactor and restructure existing application code to improve modularity, testability, and long‑term maintainability. Integrate and automate testing within GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for continuous, reliable feedback. Conduct integration testing, working across systems, APIs, and data flows to validate end‑to‑end functionality. Debug issues, triage test failures, and continuously improve automation reliability. Set up test environments and ensure consistency across scratch orgs or sandbox environments. What do you bring to the team? 3–5 years of hands‑on experience focused on automation, test architecture, or scalable full‑stack systems. Deep experience in JavaScript/TypeScript as a full‑stack developer or QA engineer. Practical Hands‑on Experience With Front‑end unit/integration testing using frameworks like Jest, Vitest, Cypress, etc., with an emphasis on modularity and fast feedback. Python backends and test frameworks such as pytest, unittest, or pytest‑mock. End‑to‑end automation using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium to validate complex user flows. API testing and mocking with Postman, RestAssured, or similar tools to isolate dependencies and ensure reliable runs. Load and performance testing with k6, Locust, or similar tools to test SLOs (e.g., p95/p99 latency, concurrency). Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines to automate and scale testing across environments. Experience with Git, test case management, and issue tracking (e.g., Jira). Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to pinpoint and reproduce complex defects. A track record of thriving in fast‑paced, high‑ownership environments, balancing excellence with startup agility. Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and integrating testing seamlessly into development cycles. Bonus Points Strong opinions (loosely held) on best practices for testing strategy and setting up testing infrastructure. Experience being burned before by untested or brittle systems – and you now deeply appreciate the beauty and leverage of a well‑structured test suite that makes teams faster, not slower.
