Senior Software Tester Engineer

Job Summary: Owns quality end to end for an assigned product area or squad. Plans and executes the testing for that scope, builds and maintains its automated coverage inside the established Playwright framework, and mentors mid-level and junior engineers day to day. Works to the test strategy and standards set by the Software Testing Director and operationalised by the Principal Quality Engineer: applies them consistently within scope, and raises gaps or improvement proposals upward rather than changing them independently. Framework architecture and cross-team standards remain with the Principal Quality Engineer. No direct reports.
