Title: Remote QA Engineer- eCommerce Platform
Location: Miami FL, Dallas TX, Washington DC, Minnesota, Atlanta GA
Duration: 1 year/contract to Hire
Must be in driving distance to HUB CITY OFFICE for meetings.
Strong Playwright Automation Experience — REQUIRED
E-commerce / Checkout / Payment Experience
Strong preference for candidates who understand the customer journey involving:
Product → Shopping Cart → Checkout → Payment → Transaction Completion
Direct e-commerce experience is preferred.
However, the manager is open to candidates who have tested internal applications with similar checkout, transaction, ordering, or payment workflows, even if the application was not consumer-facing e-commerce.
3. Senior QA Background
Approximately 6–8 years of QA experience was discussed as a good target.
Important: The 6–8 year range was suggested during the recruiting discussion and was not stated by the hiring manager as a strict cutoff.
Focus more heavily on the candidate's depth of QA automation experience and Playwright expertise than an exact number of years.
STRONG PLUSES
These are helpful but should not eliminate an otherwise strong Playwright candidate.
• Tosca experience
• Client currently uses Tosca.
• The organization plans to migrate toward Playwright.
• Tosca experience could be especially valuable during that transition.

• Hands-on experience using AI tools is desired.
• Experience using AI in testing, automation, framework development, or productivity would be valuable.
• Exact AI expectations are still being clarified.
• Experience designing, enhancing, or planning automation frameworks.

• AWS
• Microservices
• React micro-frontends / React MFE

Determine whether they have tested:
