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
