[Hiring] Staff AI Test Automation Engineer @Gravie

Role Description

The Staff AI Test Automation Engineer at Gravie will take hands-on ownership of our AI-driven test automation systems across our product portals. The Playwright framework and migration from legacy tooling is already underway, we need someone who can pick up this work, drive it to completion, and continuously improve, scale, and optimize it as we go. Rather than manually writing test cases, you will build on the frameworks, feedback loops, and infrastructure that enable AI tools to generate, execute, and maintain automated tests at scale. You will work closely with our QA, Engineering, and Product teams to dramatically increase our automated regression coverage, accelerate delivery timelines, and reduce the risk of defects reaching production. Agentic AI is central to this role — you'll be hands-on with AI agents that generate, execute, and iterate on tests with minimal manual intervention.

• Continue building and hands-on improve AI-driven test automation workflows using tools like Claude Code.
• Continue evolving the existing Playwright test framework, refining patterns, page-object models, fixtures, and conventions.
• Build and improve tight feedback loops between local test execution, CI pipeline results, and merge request creation.
• Drive the ongoing migration from Geb/Spock to Playwright to completion.
• Integrate and continuously optimize Playwright test execution in GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
• Instrument tests with reporting on pass/fail trends, flakiness rates, and coverage gaps.
• Identify scenarios where end-to-end Playwright tests are not the right tool and build API-layer automation or contract tests.
• Build hands-on automation for claims systems, contract testing, system integrations, and end-to-end user flow journeys.
• Continuously improve the AI automation workflow by refining prompts, context structures, and validation patterns.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in test automation engineering, SDET, or software engineering with strong testing practices.
• Hands-on experience with Agentic AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with Playwright or a comparable modern end-to-end testing framework.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript with the ability to write production-quality code.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred).
• Solid understanding of REST API testing.
• Hands-on experience building test automation for claims systems, contract testing, integrations, and user flow journeys.
• Experience migrating legacy test automation to a modern framework.
• Strong communication skills.
• A builder mindset.
• Comfort working in ambiguity.

Requirements

• Experience with Groovy, Spock, or Geb (the legacy framework you will be migrating from).
• Experience with contract testing (Pact or equivalent).
• Background in health insurance, benefits administration, or regulated industries.
• Experience building or contributing to internal developer tooling or productivity platforms.

Benefits

• Alternative medicine coverage.
• Flexible PTO.
