Lead Automation Engineer

Brooksource

Fortune 50 Health Insurance Client

Remote

Overview:

Our client is looking for a Lead Automation Engineer to join the engineering team responsible for building and maintaining a payer-agnostic web platform. You'll work alongside full stack engineers on the same user stories, driving automation strategy and strengthening their regression test suite to support a growing, multi-environment product.

This is a hands-on leadership role - ideal for someone who takes initiative, identifies automation gaps, and builds scalable testing solutions without waiting for direction. You'll help evolve their Playwright-based test suite while deepening coverage across UI, API, and integration layers.

What You'll Do:
  • Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of automated testing frameworks and test suites (primarily using Playwright).
  • Partner with full stack developers on shared user stories to proactively define and automate regression coverage.
  • Expand and optimize existing smoke and regression test suites, ensuring consistency across multiple environments and live production.
  • Introduce and maintain API-level testing and integration testing as the platform brings on new vendors and services.
  • Mentor other automation engineers, helping them ramp up in Playwright and automation best practices.
  • Collaborate with leadership and product teams - clearly communicating testing health, risk, and coverage metrics.
  • Continuously evaluate emerging test tools, frameworks, and best practices to drive automation maturity.
Must-Have Skills:
  • Proven experience as a Lead or Senior Automation Engineer - someone who can guide others and self-direct priorities.
  • 5+ years of experience in test automation, with expertise in frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, or similar.
  • 1-2 years of experience (or strong working knowledge) with Playwright - or demonstrated ability to quickly ramp up on new tools.
  • Strong proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js.
  • Solid understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, DOM, React/Angular/Vue).
  • Experience building and maintaining API and integration tests (Postman, RestAssured, etc.).
  • Ability to design clean, modular, maintainable test code.
Nice-to-Haves:
  • Experience setting up test reporting (Allure, JUnit, TestNG) or trace visualization.
  • Exposure to containerized environments (Docker) or cloud-based test execution.
  • Familiarity with behavior-driven testing (Cucumber/Gherkin).
Soft Skills:
  • Self-starter with the ability to identify needs and implement solutions independently.
  • Strong communicator - comfortable interfacing with both technical peers and leadership.
  • Collaborative, approachable, and easy to work with in a fast-moving Agile team.
  • Curious mindset - eager to learn new technologies and continuously improve testing processes.
