About the company
At Appfire, we believe that great work happens when people get to choose how they work. After 20 years of creating software that empowers teams to break silos and collaborate seamlessly, we’ve learned that one size does not fit all. We’re a team of 800+ employees, working remotely across 28 countries. Our flagship products include: JXL, Comala Document Management, 7Pace Time Tracker, Jira Misc Workflow Extensions, and BigPicture.

About the role:
Join a product engineering team building reliable SaaS in the Atlassian and enterprise collaboration space, where quality is shared with engineering - not owned in isolation. As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll spend most of your time on Playwright automation (UI and API) and on using AI tools day to day to design tests, debug failures, and keep suites maintainable. You’ll drive testing depth - regression, critical paths, and clear risk signals before release - working closely with developers and Product Owners. This is a hands-on IC role with no people management. If you like strong automation, pragmatic AI, and shipping stable releases in a remote-first setup, this role is built for that.

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.
