Job Descriptions and Justification:

Role: Test Architect

Location: Remote

Contractor Mission: Transition the organization from manual "Record/Playback" debt to a high-

leverage, Agentic Testing Ecosystem where 95% of validation occurs below the Ul layer.

The Role: Future of QE We are seeking a Test Architect to lead

our transition to Agentic Validation; you will architect a swarm of headless agents that leverage Playwright's reasoning capabilities to autonomously

navigate 95% of our business logic below the UI, eliminating the traditional record/playback.

Core Responsibilities

Architect the Agentic Headless Layer:

Deploy autonomous agents that utilize Playwright's native API capabilities to validate business logic, service contracts, and state transitions without

ever opening a browser.

95/5 Pyramid Implementation: Drive a "Headless-First" strategy. 95% of the agentic swarm will operate at the API and Data

layers; the remaining 5% will use Multi-modal Playwright Agents to reason through the Ul.

Autonomous Intent-Based Testing: Replace static "Step 1,

Step 2" scripts with Objective-Based Agents. You will build systems where an agent is given a goal and autonomously determines the optimal API/UI path

to validate it.

Self-Healing Infrastructure: Implement LLM-driven perception to allow agents to detect schema shifts or UI changes and autonomously

refactor their own interaction logic, eliminating manual maintenance.

Generative Data & ETL Swarms: Architect agents that understand our ETL pipelines

and synthesize high-entropy, production-mirroring test data to validate complex data integrity at scale.

Event-Driven Quality Observability: Integrate

agentic triggers into the CI/CD pipeline.

Technical Requirements

Engineering Mastery: Expert-level TypeScript/Node.js or Python with a deep focus

on Playwright for both Ul and API orchestration.

Systems Thinking: Deep understanding of microservices, and event-driven architecture.

The "Zero-

Script" Philosophy: A commitment to the idea that any test a human has to manually "record" is a future failure point.
