About this role

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test at Field AI, you will focus on developing and maintaining automated testing frameworks, particularly using Playwright, to ensure the reliability of AI systems in robotics. Your role involves collaborating with developers to enhance testability, managing CI/CD pipelines, and writing automated tests for modern web architectures and APIs. You will also leverage your experience to advocate for best practices in test quality and production observability.

What you need

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience)
  • 5-8 years of experience
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, with professional experience writing clean, maintainable code in TypeScript, JavaScript, or another modern object-oriented/functional language
  • Deep hands-on experience with Playwright, including advanced patterns like Page Object Models, network interception/mocking, custom fixtures, and multi-auth state handling
  • A 'shift-left' engineering mindset, with a proven track record of embedding with developers, reviewing PRs for testability, and advocating for automated coverage over manual QA
  • Solid understanding of modern web architectures and APIs, including the ability to debug network calls, inspect DOM elements, and write automated tests directly against REST or GraphQL APIs

Nice to have

  • Experience building Playwright infrastructure for large or complex products, such as microfrontend architectures, real-time data streaming web apps, or dashboard systems handling high-frequency state updates
  • Background working in robotics, IoT, or hardware-adjacent software spaces, where automated UI/API tests interact with physical devices, hardware emulators, or simulation environments
  • Advanced Docker and cloud infrastructure experience (AWS/GCP), specifically around scaling test agents or orchestrating localized environments for isolated end-to-end testing
  • Aligning Test Quality with Production Quality by identifying testing gaps and improve product observability.

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed
  • Focus on automated testing may limit exposure to manual QA processes
  • Experience with Playwright is heavily emphasized, which may not translate to other testing frameworks easily
  • Role may require working closely with developers, which could be a shift for those used to more independent testing roles.
