QA Automation Engineer (Playwright) at Swingdev

SwingDev—a hippo company is the Polish branch of a fast-growing InsurTech product company – Hippo Insurance. We’re here to make home insurance smarter and more proactive, using tech to bring fresh solutions. We also create digital products that support our customers, always focusing on what really makes an impact. Putting a lot of effort into hiring top-tier devs, designers, PMs, and QAs, is a proof that we care a lot about tech experience, the attitude, human approach, and what we could call „culture fit”. „SwingDev is all about people” - yes, it may sound a bit cliche. But whether we're writing code or just hanging out, we know that people are at the heart of everything we do. We like to have a good time and keep things light, even when we're tackling big projects. We could brag about what’s making us special, but we’ve boiled it down to two key ingredients: mature, companionable people who, rather than compete, prefer to inspire and have each other’s backs; a culture of trust, empathy, and positivity that keeps us together, lets us interact as teammates and friends, and truly enjoy the ride. So if you're QA Automation Engineer looking to shake things up and have a good time while you're at it, you’ve come to the right place. 🚀 What will you do? • You'll be working with our team of experienced QAs, developers, and product managers to make sure everything we deliver is absolutely top quality. Your help will be invaluable when their yellow duck can't hack it. :) • You’ll improve our existing automation, QA processes, and best practices by working closely with different stakeholders. • You’ll take ownership of all automation needs within one of our key Business Units, covering mostly backend, but a little frontend as well. • You’ll automate new features to ensure proper coverage and support go-live with high quality standards. • You’ll be responsible for maintaining and improving existing automation tests and expanding them as needed. • You'll have huge creative freedom and the ability to influence the project, so you can make your mark right away. • You’ll collaborate with your friends both from Poland and the United States. We might be a match if you… • Have at least 3 years of experience in automation testing for both frontend and backend platforms. • Know your way around JavaScript / TypeScript, and feel comfortable working with them. • Are an expert in automation best practices, coding standards, Git, GitHub, and the PR process. • Have hands-on experience with Playwright. • Are more than familiar with integration, end-to-end, and API automation tests. • Have experience in writing SQL queries along with data consistency and integrity in relational databases. • Are familiar with CircleCI or other developer oriented CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions. • Are an independent problem solver, but also an excellent team player. • Pay attention to details, can handle automating complex features, and aren't afraid to speak up when something needs improvement. • Have a great command of English (written & spoken) and at least basic of Polish. • Are available in the afternoons – we prioritize everyone’s personal time and work-life fit, but since we work in multinational teams, occasional evening meetings may be necessary to ensure smooth communication across time zones. You will get extra points for: • Creativity and innovation in automation for any given area. • Experience with Jira and agile testing methodologies. • Familiarity with Docker (building images, running and debugging containers). • Experience with test case management tools, preferably TestRail. Recruitment process: • Send us your CV – it's the best way for us to get to know you. • Meet Gabi, one of our Recruiters. • Join for a 60-minute tech discussion and Code Review with Adam. • Talk with Swati (Manager, Quality Engineering). • Meet on the final stage with Marcin and Alicja. • and... welcome aboard! 👋 What benefits are waiting for you?
