Software development experience with a focus on test automation (particularly Playwright, Cypress, or similar frameworks)
Hands-on experience writing and maintaining end-to-end browser-based tests
Proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript
Experience integrating test frameworks into diverse dev workflows - from cloud CI/CD to on-premise runners and custom environments
Effective communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
