Everbridge is hiring a Quality Engineer to join our team. This junior role focuses on software quality and test automation, where you will work with experienced engineers to build and maintain automated tests using Playwright, improve test coverage, and ensure reliable customer experiences. It’s an opportunity for someone early in their QA career to develop automation skills and grow into a modern SDET role.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain a robust Playwright framework for web apps, including parallelization, test sharding, and cross-browser coverage.
Embed testing in the SDLC; coach engineers on testability and quality patterns.
Prioritize high-value test cases and drive meaningful coverage.
Build reliable API tests (REST).
Run tests in CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps), enable fast feedback with artifacts, traces, and flaky-test quarantine.
Leverage Playwright’s traces, videos, and screenshots; integrate with logging/monitoring to speed up root cause analysis.
Partner to introduce basic performance and security checks into pipelines.
Define quality strategy, standards, and KPIs; mentor SDETs/QEs; influence architecture for reliability.

What We're Looking For

3–5+ years in QA/SDET roles.
Hands-on experience building frameworks and large test suites with Playwright.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript (or Python) and modern testing patterns (Page Object Model / Screenplay, fixtures, custom reporters).
Deep knowledge of Playwright features: test runner, traces, network interception/mocking, retries, testStep, fixtures, auto-waits, web-first assertions.
Experience with API testing, schema/contract validation, and service-level tests.
Solid CI/CD experience (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps) and containerization (Docker).
Practical experience with test data management, synthetic data, and environment setup (including ephemeral envs).

Nice to Have

Familiarity with accessibility testing (axe), basic performance checks (Lighthouse, Web Vitals), and security basics (OWASP top 10 awareness).
Excellent collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills.
