Senior QA Automation Engineer

Location: India (Remote)
Experience: 5+ years, B2B SaaS

Limelight is a modern FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) SaaS platform helping finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and static budgets. We enable CFOs and FP&A teams to model, forecast, and analyze financial performance in real time—with speed, confidence, and governance.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to help us scale a high-quality, reliable SaaS platform used for mission-critical financial decision-making.

As part of Limelight’s Product Development team, you’ll own and evolve our automated testing strategy—ensuring stability, performance, and trust across everything we ship, from core financial modeling to AI-driven features.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust automation frameworks, collaborating closely with developers and product managers, and raising the quality bar across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build our test automation framework from scratch, using Playwright as the foundation.
• Own end-to-end quality across UI, API, and backend/integration layers.
• Combine automated testing with manual and exploratory testing — especially for complex financial calculations, data integrity, and edge cases where human judgment matters.
• Write, maintain, and scale automated test suites; integrate them into CI/CD.
• Tackle flaky tests, test data management, and environment stability head-on.
• Partner directly with product development on requirements, edge cases, and release readiness.
• Champion quality earlier in the development cycle — not just at the end.
• Manage test cases, defects, and documentation in Jira and Confluence.

• 5+ years of QA automation experience in SaaS or web-based applications

• Strong hands-on experience with API testing (REST/JSON, auth, error handling) and running tests in CI (e.g., Postman + Newman)

• Experience with browser automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar)

• Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for test automation

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (parallel runs, retries, artifacts, quality gates)

• Working knowledge of Git and SQL (PostgreSQL) for test data setup and validation

• Strong ability to debug end-to-end issues using browser DevTools and logs

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally

• Ability to write clear, high-quality defect reports with evidence and impact

• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills
  

  Nice to have:

• Experience testing AI/ML-driven features

• Experience with financial, analytics, or data-intensive platforms
  
  Education

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
