The ideal candidate has strong automation fundamentals and is excited to work with emerging AI-driven automation approaches.Key Responsibilities - Automation Development

Build and maintain automation workflows using AI-assisted tooling (Stagehand or similar)
Develop browser automation suites using Playwright
Contribute to prompt-driven automation and agent workflows
Support development of reusable automation utilities and frameworks

Key Responsibilities - QA and Platform Automation

Build automated tests for UI, APIs, and data workflows
Support regression and functional automation suites
Help automate monitoring and validation workflows
Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines

Key Responsibilities - AI / LLM Integration

Assist in integrating LLM APIs into automation workflows
Contribute to prompt design and evaluation workflows
Help implement guardrails and validation checks
Support performance and cost optimization of AI usage

Key Responsibilities - Observability and Reporting

Help build automation reporting dashboards
Instrument automation with logging and metrics
Support troubleshooting automation failures

Key Responsibilities - Engineering Judgment & AI Usage

Understand when to use traditional deterministic automation vs. AI-driven approaches
Recognize scenarios where AI introduces unnecessary complexity or cost
Implement stable, selector-based automation for predictable UI patterns
Reserve AI for truly dynamic or unpredictable scenarios
Balance automation speed, cost, and reliability when choosing implementation approaches
Document automation decisions and trade-offs

Required Qualifications - Engineering Fundamentals

2–5 years of software engineering, QA automation, or automation engineering experience
Python (required)
TypeScript / JavaScript (preferred for some roles)

Experience working with dynamic content and asynchronous page loading patterns
Understanding of when to use deterministic vs. probabilistic automation

Required Qualifications - AI and Modern Tooling Exposure

Exposure to LLMs, AI APIs, or AI automation tooling
Basic understanding of prompt engineering concepts
Ability to recognize when AI should NOT be used: - Stable, predictable UI patterns (use traditional selectors) - Performance-critical paths (AI adds latency) - Cost-sensitive operations (AI calls have API costs) - Scenarios requiring deterministic behavior (compliance, legal)
Understanding of automation cost/benefit trade-offs
Experience balancing speed, reliability, and maintainability

Required Qualifications - DevOps and Platform Fundamentals

Experience working with CI/CD pipelines
Familiarity with containerized or cloud-hosted environments
Familiarity with SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.)

Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration
Understanding of pytest or similar Python testing frameworks
Experience with observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, etc.)

Success Metrics (First 6–12 Months)

Contribute to production automation workflows
Reduce manual testing through expanded automation coverage
Improve automation reliability and reporting
Help build reusable automation components and patterns

Work Environment

Collaborative engineering and product teams • Modern cloud and automation tooling
Opportunity to work directly with emerging AI technologies
Fast-paced, innovation-focused environment
