Playwright Testing Jobs in Detroit, MI (NOW HIRING)

Job#: 3043527
Job Description:
This hands-on quality engineering position combines Playwright automation, API testing, SQL validation, exploratory testing, and targeted manual testing. Candidates must be capable of writing maintainable TypeScript and contributing to automation architecture-not simply recording or modifying test scripts.
Our primary tools include Playwright with TypeScript, GitHub Copilot, Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Oracle.
Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain UI and API automated tests using Playwright and TypeScript.
• Expand the existing Playwright framework and establish reusable fixtures, API clients, utilities, and coding standards.
• Create automated coverage for Angular applications and Java-based REST APIs.
• Integrate and execute automated tests through Jenkins.
• Investigate failures using Playwright traces, application logs, network activity, API responses, and SQL.
• Validate application processing and data using Oracle SQL.
• Perform exploratory, functional, integration, regression, and risk-based manual testing.
• Review requirements and acceptance criteria for gaps, edge cases, risks, and testability.
• Collaborate with developers, product owners, and testers throughout story development.
• Participate in code reviews and improve the reliability and maintainability of the automation suite.
• Identify flaky, redundant, slow, or low-value tests and address their underlying causes.

AI-Assisted Quality Engineering
SDETs are expected to use GitHub Copilot and other approved AI capabilities in their daily work to improve speed, coverage, and effectiveness. This includes:

• Generating and refining Playwright TypeScript tests for UI and API scenarios.
• Identifying missing scenarios, edge cases, negative paths, and requirement gaps.
• Accelerating test-data creation, SQL queries, API requests, and reusable automation components.
• Analyzing failures, logs, stack traces, and Playwright traces.
• Refactoring repetitive, flaky, or difficult-to-maintain automation code.
• Creating technical documentation, test summaries, and defect details.
• Understanding unfamiliar application code and identifying areas of testing risk.
• Sharing effective AI-assisted testing practices with other team members.

SDETs remain accountable for all AI-generated work. Candidates must independently review generated output for correctness, security, maintainability, test value, and alignment with established standards. AI-generated code must not be accepted simply because it compiles or passes once.
Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience using Playwright with TypeScript for UI and API automation.
• Strong TypeScript programming fundamentals.
• Experience designing maintainable automation-not simply creating test scripts.
• Experience testing modern web applications, preferably Angular.
• Experience testing Java-based REST APIs.
• Strong understanding of HTTP, REST, JSON, authentication, response validation, and negative API testing.
• SQL experience for backend data validation, preferably with Oracle.
• Experience executing automated tests through Jenkins or another CI/CD platform.
• Experience with Git-based source control and collaborative development workflows.
• Ability to diagnose failures across the UI, API, database, test code, test data, and environment layers.
• Experience with exploratory and manual testing in addition to automation.
• Ability to work independently and communicate defects and quality risks clearly.
