Staff Automation Engineer

We're looking for a Staff Automation Engineer to own and scale automated testing infrastructure end-to-end.

This is not a traditional QA role focused only on writing test cases.

You will define automation architecture, build and maintain scalable frameworks, and own the CI/CD systems supporting automated testing across the engineering organization.

This role requires deep expertise in Playwright, TypeScript, and CI/CD, along with strong infrastructure ownership.

Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan (On-site)


What You'll Do

• Own the architecture and evolution of test automation infrastructure
• Design, build, and maintain scalable end-to-end test frameworks using Playwright and TypeScript
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Improve test reliability, execution speed, and maintainability
• Build and optimize test environments, reporting, parallelization, and diagnostics
• Improve release confidence through robust automation and infrastructure improvements
• Partner closely with engineering teams to improve developer workflows and product quality
• Establish best practices for automation architecture, test strategy, and infrastructure ownership
• Troubleshoot flaky tests, pipeline failures, and automation bottlenecks

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright and TypeScript
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD systems and automation integration
• Experience owning or designing test automation infrastructure
• Experience building scalable automation frameworks, not just maintaining test suites
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Experience improving test reliability, performance, and pipeline stability
• Ability to work closely with software engineering and DevOps teams
• Strong ownership mindset and systems-thinking approach

Nice to Have

• Experience with Docker or Kubernetes

• Experience with large-scale web applications or distributed systems
• Exposure to observability or monitoring tools
• Experience in fast-paced product or startup environments
