• Frontend/UI: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, TestCafe (or similar)
• Solid programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript (or another test automation language).
• Strong understanding of test design patterns (e.g. Page Object Model, BDD, data-driven testing).
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
• Familiarity with debugging tools, accessibility testing, and exploratory test techniques.
• Excellent communication skills in both Swedish and English.
• Bonus points for experience with: Karate Framework, visual regression testing, UX/accessibility testing, performance or security testing.

Why Join Us?
