Senior QA Automation Engineer

About the Role Litify is looking for a Senior QA Automation Engineer to join the Product & Engineering team. This AI‑first role involves owning quality end‑to‑end within an agile squad and leading the adoption of AI‑driven testing practices. Responsibilities Champion AI‑first QA practices. Lead rollout and continuous improvement of our AI Feature Testing process, in which AI agents execute initial test passes and QA engineers review, validate, and extend coverage. Review and validate AI‑generated test results. Critically assess AI test outputs for accuracy, completeness, false positives/negatives, and determine pass/fail outcomes. Perform manual test execution, targeted exploratory and edge‑case testing, focusing human effort on complex workflows, boundary conditions, integration points, and scenarios where AI coverage is insufficient. Own QA strategy and execution for your squad, including test planning, risk assessment, and release readiness decisions. Write and maintain automated tests in Playwright using Page Object Model (POM) patterns, expanding POM coverage to support a scalable, maintainable automation suite. Leverage AI development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to generate test cases, write automation scripts, debug failures, and accelerate coverage growth. Guide and train the QA team on effective AI tool usage, prompt engineering for testing, and the evolving QA review workflow. Integrate automated tests into our Xray test management repository and maintain traceability between test cases, requirements, and defects. Manage QA workflow in Jira: log and prioritize bugs, classify defect severity, and keep test status current for the team. Communicate quality status, risk, and AI testing adoption progress to developers, product managers, and leadership stakeholders. Partner with Customer Support in triaging complex application issues when needed. Qualifications 7+ years of experience in an automation QA role. Enthusiasm for AI‑augmented workflows and belief that AI fundamentally changes QA. Hands‑on experience using AI tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) in a professional development or testing context. Strong critical thinking and judgment skills for evaluating AI‑generated outputs. Hands‑on experience with Playwright (preferred) or strong experience with a modern automation framework (Cypress, Selenium, WebdriverIO, etc.) and willingness to ramp up on Playwright. Demonstrated experience with exploratory testing techniques and ability to find defects missed by scripted and AI‑driven tests. Proven ability to create and own test plans, define test strategies, and make risk‑based release decisions. Familiarity with Xray or comparable test management tool integrated with Jira. Strong Jira proficiency, including ticket workflows, bug reporting, sprint board management, and defect classification. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and ability to present quality metrics and AI adoption progress to technical and non‑technical stakeholders. Experience contributing to or maintaining a shared QA codebase with strong code quality and review practices. Leadership mindset: initiative, coaching peers through change, raising the bar for the team. Nice‑to‑Have 5+ years of experience with Playwright. Experience with Salesforce or testing Salesforce‑based applications. Familiarity with Salesforce debugging logs or similar platform‑level diagnostic tools. Prior experience in legal technology or document management products. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into deployment workflows. Experience in prompt engineering and building AI‑augmented QA workflows. Experience leading a team through a process transformation or tooling adoption. Familiarity with AI testing concepts such as output validation, hallucination detection, or confidence scoring. Salary The estimated base salary range for this role is $110,000–$120,000.
