About the role
We are seeking a Java Playwright Automation Engineer with strong experience in Group Retirement and Wealth Management platforms. In this role, you will build and own the automated regression suite for GRS platforms — plan member and plan sponsor portals, enrolment and contribution flows, and the record-keeping integrations behind them. You'll write UI and API automation in Playwright with Java, wire it into CI, and be the person who can say with evidence whether a release is safe to ship.
Domain: Group Retirement Services (GRS)
In this role, you will
- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end UI automation using Playwright (Java bindings).
- Strong proficiency in Java, including Streams, Lambdas, Collections, and modern design patterns.
- Hands on experience in Java-based automation framework development.
- Extend the framework itself: Page Object Model structure, reusable fixtures, test data management, config for multiple environments.
- Automate service-layer and API tests (REST Assured or Playwright's APIRequestContext) and push coverage down the pyramid where UI tests are slow or brittle.
- Integrate suites into CI/CD (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Actions) with parallel and cross-browser execution, plus reporting via Allure or Extent.
- Triage failures using Playwright trace viewer and logs, and distinguish real defects from flake — then fix the flake.
- Convert manual GRS regression packs into automated coverage and report coverage % by application.
- Work inside Agile ceremonies with BAs, developers, and business SMEs; contribute to test strategy, estimates, and definition of done.
- Support non-functional needs where relevant: accessibility checks, basic performance smoke, and data privacy handling for member records.
Work model
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring 3 days a week in a client or Cognizant office in Toronto, ON. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance though our various wellbeing programs.
Note: The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you’re engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.
What you need to have to be considered
- Overall 8+ years of QA testing experience with 4+ years in test automation, with hands-on Playwright using Java (or strong Selenium-with-Java plus demonstrated Playwright migration work)
- Solid core Java: collections, OOP design, streams, exception handling — enough to build a framework, not just fill in step definitions
- Good understanding of Group Retirement, Pension, or Wealth domain exposure: DC/DB plans, RRSP/TFSA/DPSP, contributions and remittances, fund transfers, member statements, CRA contribution limits.
- Salesforce, mainframe, or record-keeping platform test experience.
- Maven Git branching workflows, and code review discipline.
- API testing and JSON/XML payload validation.
- SQL for test data setup and back-end verification.
- Comfort with CI pipelines and debugging failures that only appear in CI.
- Support CI/CD implementation and source code management using Git-based workflows.
These will help you stand out
- Domain knowledge in Group retirement, pension, or wealth domain exposure:
- Proven ability to lead testing efforts independently and drive deliverables to successful completion.
- Exposure to enterprise-scale testing programs and digital transformation initiatives.
We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role.
