We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer in Test at XILO, a fast-growing AI-driven startup transforming the insurance industry.
With 200+ clients, growing data, and fresh Series A funding, we're scaling quickly — and we're looking for someone to help us ensure quality and reliability at every step.
The Role:
You'll lead the charge in shaping and scaling our test automation strategy, with a focus on end-to-end testing using Playwright and TypeScript.
You'll work closely with engineering teams to define best practices, build test coverage for new and existing features, and make testing a first-class citizen in our development lifecycle.
This is not a passive testing role — you'll be embedded in sprint planning and start writing tests before the features are even built, anticipating behavior, aligning with developers, and enabling test-first workflows.
While your main focus will be automation, you'll also support high-priority manual validation when needed.
You'll take ownership of:
Designing, maintaining, and improving our Playwright-based E2E test suites
Writing test coverage for cross-service platform workflows and domain-specific modules
Defining testing standards, tooling, and patterns used across all teams
Partnering with developers during sprint planning to prepare test coverage in advance
Leading CI/CD test integration and improving overall test stability and performance
Supporting critical release testing and mentoring engineers on writing integration/unit tests
What You'll Bring:
?? 5+ years of experience in software testing, with a strong focus on automation
?? Deep knowledge of Playwright and TypeScript, and a track record of building resilient test systems
?? Experience writing system-level and module-level E2E tests in a modern web platform
?? Comfort working closely with developers and PMs to build test-first workflows
?? Experience designing test strategies, introducing tools, and improving CI pipelines
?? Bonus: Familiarity with Jest, Postman, Sonar, or performance/load testing tools

? Endless career growth – Help define testing culture across teams and services
