Playwright E2E harness for an agentic hiring agent
Test data that makes a live model score the same way every time
caught before release · 30% less triage time
Jenkins pipelines for Business Plus and Basic/Pro subscriptions so agent regressions never skip CI

SDET — Agentic Hiring
May 2026 — Present · 5 mosUpwork Inc. 🇺🇸
- Built the Playwright E2E quality harness for an agentic hiring agent covering 4 agent stages (JD simplify, sourcing, 11-dimension LLM rating, shortlisting) across 3 client surfaces — 40+ specs, 2 CI pipelines, 30+ agent regressions caught before release.
- Designed a deterministic fixture layer for a non-deterministic LLM pipeline (11 scoring dimensions, 5 hard filters, Temporal rounds up to 24h) so scoring lands in the same bucket run after run — 5 stage data-generators that produce known opening states.
- Established layered deterministic + probabilistic validation across 3 experiment cells and 5 GA rollout chunks, raising release confidence for one of the platform’s highest-stakes agent launches.
- Drove shift-left across 2 FE/BE teams, moving QA from banner/UI checks to decision-quality validation (eligibility, shortlist composition, invite vs. notification economics, audit APIs) — cutting regression triage time by 30%.

-
- Migrated test suites for several products from the legacy Ruby framework to a modern Playwright e2e setup.
- Collaborated on the design of scalable automated test frameworks for backend and web platforms.
- Defined test strategies and test plans with engineering and product, and integrated automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable feedback.
- Drove shift-left practices and mentored engineers on automation across integration, functional, API and performance layers.
-
- Established the QA portion of the CI/CD pipeline, improving deployment efficiency by 30%.
- Conducted backend QA for 20 microservices over REST and GraphQL APIs, ensuring 99.9% reliability.
- Introduced Gatling for backend API load testing, resolving bottlenecks that cut average response times by 10%.
- Designed and executed A/B tests on relevance algorithms with LLM-based query understanding — +25% search precision and +15% successful job matches for 500,000+ users.
- Executed comprehensive testing for the AWS migration, ensuring a seamless transition with zero downtime.
-
Owned end-to-end test planning and reporting (–30% post-release defects), validated REST APIs with Postman, and automated UI flows via Ghost Inspector (–40% manual time, +25% coverage).
-
Automated the full legacy manual suite (–70% regression time), built 100+ UI & REST tests with TestNG + Selenium, managed Jenkins CI/CD (–50% deploy failures), and ran JMeter performance tuning (+20% perf).
-
Designed automation scripts for 50+ user stories (+40% process efficiency), validated REST APIs across 30+ stories (–25% integration issues), and shaped end-to-end testing strategy.
-
Automated 80+ cases with JBehave + Selenium (–50% regression time) and executed 100+ manual tests (+30% defect detection).
-
Led a 4-person QA team running daily pre-prod regressions; tracked 100+ bugs in Jira at a 90% pre-release resolution rate; coordinated daily with a US-based dev team.
