What you'll do:
- Design, implement, and maintain automated UI, API, and integration tests with Playwright using JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python.
- Use AI-assisted tools (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to speed up test design, refactoring, and failure analysis; always validate output and follow company data-handling guidelines.
- Plan and execute functional, regression, smoke, and critical-path testing; validate against agreed acceptance criteria and flag quality risks early.
- Design and maintain test data approaches for your area (fixtures, isolation, environments) so automated suites stay reliable in CI.
- Contribute to test layering - what to cover at API/component level vs full E2E - and align with engineering on scope and maintainability.
- Run and maintain automated suites in CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions, Bitbucket, GitLab CI, Jenkins); improve stability, reporting, and triage of failing builds.
- Partner in agile ceremonies with engineering and product; document scenarios and defects so issues are resolved quickly.
- Reduce flaky tests, improve test code structure, and apply the test pyramid and risk-based prioritization in everyday delivery.
- Test REST/GraphQL APIs, validate contracts and payloads, and verify data with SQL or equivalent when needed.
What you'll need:
- 5+ years in QA with a strong focus on test automation as an individual contributor.
- Proven experience building and maintaining tests with Playwright (UI and API) and JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Python.
- Daily, practical use of AI-assisted development for QA work and the ability to critically review AI-generated tests.
- Solid API and integration testing experience (auth, mocking/stubbing, debugging across services).
- Practical experience with test data and environments for automation (isolation, fixtures, stability in parallel/CI runs).
- Hands-on CI/CD experience running automated tests in pipelines and working with Docker.
- Strong testing fundamentals (test pyramid, risk-based testing, agile, defect lifecycle) and experience with Jira or similar.
- Excellent English (written and verbal) for distributed collaboration.
- Experience raising quality on long-lived, evolving products, not only greenfield work.
What we offer:
- Contract of Employment (indefinite)
- Every Appfire team member is eligible for company equity, fostering a true sense of ownership and connection to our growth.
- 26 paid vacation days annually, regardless of tenure, Wellness Days (1 day per month, non-transferable), 24 hours of paid volunteer time to engage in meaningful activities outside of work.
- Fully covered Luxmed private healthcare plan. You can extend coverage to your partner or opt for additional upgrades tailored to your needs. Life insurance provided by UNUM and fully paid by Appfire.
- MyBenefit Platform - 150 PLN per month to spend on a Multisport card or on a variety of experiences such as shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
- Home Office Allowance - 200 PLN net per month added to your salary to support your electricity and internet costs while working remotely.
