Role overview

Aubrant Digital is a leader in multi-shore custom application development, serving more than 50 clients and delivering hundreds of high quality, custom enterprise applications with offices in New Jersey, Boston, Costa Rica, and Eastern Europe. As a QA Automation Engineer, you will design and build full test harnesses for .NET solutions, write production test code daily, integrate test execution into Azure DevOps pipelines, and contribute to test strategy alongside developers, architects, and product owners while helping advance the company's QA approach including agentic automation patterns.

Responsibilities

Design and build full test harnesses for .NET solutions, including end-to-end, integration, and API tests using Playwright and complementary frameworks.
Maintain and extend existing test suites, refactoring for stability, reusability, and clear failure diagnostics.
Partner with developers to make applications testable by design, including hooks, identifiers, and contract patterns.
Integrate test execution into Azure DevOps pipelines with appropriate parallelization, reporting, and quality gates.
Run and troubleshoot test workloads against Azure-hosted environments, including handling environment-specific configuration.
Contribute to release confidence by tying test outcomes to deployment decisions and feedback loops.
Pilot and advance agentic automation patterns, AI-assisted test generation, and self-healing test approaches that improve coverage and reduce maintenance.
Contribute to QA standards, tooling, and patterns shared across Aubrant engagements.
Participate in test planning, defect triage, and quality reviews with engineering and product teams.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, or equivalent experience; MUST be proficient in written and spoken English (85%).
3 to 5 years of professional QA automation experience building and maintaining production test suites.
Strong proficiency in Playwright for end-to-end test automation, including page object patterns, fixtures, parallel execution, and stable selector design.
Solid proficiency in .NET test automation, including writing test code in C# and integrating with .NET solutions; familiarity with frameworks such as xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest.
Hands-on experience integrating tests into Azure DevOps pipelines, including build/release configuration, test parallelization, and results reporting.
Working knowledge of Azure for running and troubleshooting test workloads in cloud-hosted environments.
Solid skills in API testing, test data management, and writing maintainable, well-structured test code.
Experience with version control (Git), code review practices, and test-related quality gates.
Demonstrated interest in advancing QA practices, including agentic automation, AI-assisted test generation, or self-healing test patterns.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills; strong communication, collaboration, customer orientation, innovation mindset, and adaptability under ambiguity.
A quality-minded engineer who treats test code with the same rigor as application code and cares about the long-term maintainability of test suites.
A clear communicator who can articulate test results, defects, and quality risks to engineers, architects, and product stakeholders.
Comfortable operating with ambiguity, capable of building test coverage in environments where requirements and behavior are still evolving.
Curious about the frontier of QA, including agentic automation, AI-assisted test generation, and self-healing test patterns, and eager to bring those ideas into practice.
Customer-obsessed and outcome-focused, treating quality as a feature that protects the user experience and the business.

Nice to have

Experience with performance, load, or security testing tools is a plus.
Experience with TypeScript or other languages used in modern Playwright projects is a plus.
