Our client is seeking a Senior QA Engineer in Orlando, FL
Role Description
- Learn the product deeply (features, guest journeys, business rules) and become a go-to voice on how it should behave.
- Turn Gherkin user stories, acceptance criteria, and business rules into Playwright + TypeScript tests. Flag gaps or ambiguity in stories before they are built.
- Build and maintain end-to-end tests across full guest journeys.
- Design checks for non-deterministic agent responses (rule-based and semantic assertions, eval datasets) instead of exact-string matching.
- Build reusable fixtures, authentication setup, helpers, and test data.
- Validate what guests see against API responses, using request interception and mocks where appropriate.
- Run automated suites in Jenkins and Harness CI/CD pipelines.
- Triage failures to root cause (application, automation, environment, or test data) and file clear, reproducible defects.
- Use AI coding and agent tools every day to write, refactor, and maintain tests faster, and share what works with the team.
Skills & Requirements
- Strong Playwright and TypeScript skills, with an end-to-end suite you built and maintained in production.
- Experience testing AI or LLM-powered products, including strategies for non-deterministic output.
- Hands-on, demonstrable use of AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Cursor) to speed up test authoring and maintenance. Be ready to show examples.
- Fluency with Gherkin, acceptance criteria, and business rules, and the ability to pick up a complex business domain quickly.
- API testing experience, including request interception and mocking.
- Experience integrating test suites into Jenkins and/or Harness CI/CD.
- Clear written communication and comfort working directly with product, not only engineering.
- LLM evaluation or observability tools (e.g., Arize, Phoenix, LangSmith, Promptfoo).
- Travel, hospitality, or e-commerce booking flows.
- Accessibility or visual regression testing.
- Building agent- or MCP-driven test tooling.
