In this role, you will lead testing efforts for complex enterprise systems, mentor and guide junior engineers, and drive strategic improvements to our automation and testing practices. You will be expected to bring deep expertise in UI automation, API testing, and ideally performance testing, while operating with a high degree of autonomy and cross-team influence.

You'll join a dynamic team of Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to architect and deliver cutting-edge features that power a platform used by some of the world's leading organisations. Architect, develop, and maintain scalable automated test suites for UI and API layers using Playwright.

Evaluate, plan, and execute performance testing to identify bottlenecks, validate SLAs, and ensure system reliability under load.

Mentor and guide L2/L3 QA engineers — conduct code reviews, pair on complex test scenarios, and help the team level up technically.

Champion quality engineering best practices — shift-left testing, test pyramid principles, and continuous testing in CI/CD.

Collaborate with engineering leadership on release readiness, risk assessment, and quality metrics.

7–10+ years of overall experience in software quality assurance, with significant depth in test automation.

• Minimum 1.5 years of hands-on experience with Playwright for UI test automation.
• Strong experience in API testing and automation —building test suites and validating complex integration scenarios.
• Experience testing enterprise or SaaS applications with multi-tenant, multi-integration architectures.
• Experience in performance testing using tools such as Locust, JMeter, k6, or Gatling.

Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.

Exposure to Cypress or other modern automation frameworks.

Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and optimization (e.g., Allure, Grafana, Datadog).

Contributions to automation framework architecture — page object models, custom fixtures, data-driven patterns, and shared utilities.

AI in Recruitment At Loopio, we leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance our recruitment process. These tools assist with tasks such as resume screening, drafting preliminary job descriptions, generating initial interview questions, transcription and occasionally sourcing prospective candidates. However, AI is never used to make final hiring decisions; our use of AI serves to support repetitive and administrative tasks in order to streamline our hiring and recruitment workflows. We are committed to the responsible use of AI in our hiring practices, prioritizing both an improved candidate experience and operational efficiency. We continuously review and refine our hiring practices to align with industry best practices and evolving legal guidelines

AI Usage in Interviews The Loopio interview process is designed to help us better understand your professional experiences, as well as your unique perspective and approach to delivery and collaboration. To ensure a fair and accurate assessment, we expect candidates to refrain from using AI-generated content to produce responses to our interview questions during the live interview, as our goal is to evaluate your own knowledge and problem-solving abilities - not those of an AI assistant. If AI-generated responses are identified during the interview, Loopio reserves the right to disqualify candidates from the interview process.

For specific roles that include a take-home assignment, our AI Interviewee Policy allows the use of AI for initial support; Loopio is an equal opportunity employer that is deeply committed to building equitable workplaces that are diverse and inclusive. Please contact a member of our Talent Experience team ([HIDDEN TEXT]) should you require accommodations at any point during our virtual interview processes.
