Senior QA Automation Engineer (SDET, Playwright, TypeScript)

About the job

Job post:

Remote (India) · Full-time · 1 opening

Working hours: UK business hours

Tools: Playwright · TypeScript · API testing · Automation frameworks

Domain: Multi-tenant B2B SaaS for UK clinics + pharmacies

Why Script Assist and why now

Script Assist is building the operating system for next-generation private healthcare.

We power high-volume workflows across UK clinics and pharmacies in regulated, compliance-heavy environments where correctness, auditability, and operational safety matter.

This is not UI testing for a simple app.

We run transactional systems:

• ordering flows

• payment journeys

• reconciliation and reporting accuracy

• workflow-heavy operational logic

• multi-tenant business rules

• platform behaviour where failures actually matter

This is the kind of complexity you usually see in fintech-style systems, not simple CRUD products.

We’re hiring one senior automation QA engineer — an SDET-style role — to set up and run automated testing end-to-end, and to use AI / LLMs to materially improve speed and coverage, not just generate basic scripts.

The role

You will own quality automation across the platform.

You will:

• define the automation strategy

• shape the automation framework structure

• automate critical end-to-end workflows across UI and API layers

• reduce regressions and flaky tests

• raise release confidence as we scale

This role is remote in India and works UK business hours alongside the core team.

What you’ll do

You will:

• build and own a scalable test automation framework using Playwright and TypeScript

• automate end-to-end workflows across clinic operations, pharmacy operations, ordering, payments, reporting, and reconciliation

• build strong API test automation for backend services, including:

• workflow validation
• negative testing
• auth flows
• multi-tenant scenarios
• • validate transactional flows and failure handling, including:
• retries
• deduplication / idempotency-style behaviour
• concurrency edge cases
• • improve reliability by:
• reducing flaky tests
• stabilising selectors
• strengthening assertions
• improving test-data strategy
• • produce strong test evidence and debugging output:
• structured logs
• traces / artifacts
• screenshots / videos where useful
• collaborate with engineers to improve testability through:
• stable selectors
• better environments
• fixtures
• feature flags

AI / LLM expectations

We want someone who uses AI to increase automation throughput and coverage in real workflows. For example:

• accelerating test creation and maintenance from specs and product changes

• generating high-quality scenarios and stronger test data

• speeding up flaky-test triage and root-cause analysis

• building lightweight internal workflows that make QA faster and more reliable

We do not want someone who only uses AI around the edges for basic script generation.

What success looks like

• a maintainable automation framework that scales with the product

• high-confidence automated coverage over core clinic, pharmacy, payments, and reconciliation flows

• a measurable reduction in regressions and flaky tests

• faster release cycles with stronger safety signals

What we’re looking for

Strong hands-on experience with:

• Playwright / TypeScript

• test automation frameworks

• API testing / API automation

• end-to-end testing

• transactional workflow testing

• multi-tenant scenarios

• flaky-test reduction

• test reliability

• concurrency / failure-path testing

• production SaaS platforms

• regulated or compliance-heavy systems

• AI / LLM-assisted QA workflows

The strongest candidates will usually have worked on one or more of the following:

• SDET roles

• QA automation ownership in product companies

• multi-tenant B2B SaaS

• payments or reconciliation systems

• workflow-heavy platforms

• API-heavy products

• healthcare platforms

• fintech-style transactional systems

• regulated software

This role is likely a good fit if you have worked on

• end-to-end automation across UI and API layers

• automation frameworks, not just test execution

• flaky-test reduction and suite stabilisation

• payments, reconciliation, or workflow-heavy systems

• multi-tenant SaaS

• healthcare, fintech, or regulated products

• AI-enabled QA workflows

This role is probably not a fit if your experience is mainly

• manual QA only

• smoke-test automation only

• simple UI-only automation

• record-and-playback tools rather than real automation code

• website testing without workflow complexity

• basic CRUD products with little transactional logic

Apply

Apply if you have built real automation for complex products, enjoy raising engineering quality, and want to own automation in a platform with real operational and transactional complexity
