Title: QA Automation Architect-Playwright & Typescript- Commercial P&C Insurance
Experience: 15+
Rate : Max $60 - 65 / hr on C2C
Location: Cleveland, OH(Onsite 3 days)
Duration: Long term
About the Role
We are seeking an Automation Architect with combination of Playwright automation experience and API-Led automation and commercial P&C insurance domain knowledge, preferably Duck Creek platform expertise, and hands-on experience with API-led test automation strategies. This role is the central figure in a high-stakes migration from Duck Creek Express 2.0 (Agent Portal) to Duck Creek Express 3.0, owning not just requirements and analysis, but the end-to-end testing program — with a mandate to build and drive an API-first automation framework that validates the migration with speed, repeatability, and precision.
This is not a traditional automation role with testing responsibilities appended. The candidate must be capable of translating the API automation expertise along with Playwright automation and convert that fluency into an automation strategy that survives the project and scales into production regression.
Integration & API Ecosystem Analysis
- Analyze and document all third-party integrations connected to the Express 2.0 implementation — including billing systems, document generation platforms, rating bureaus, and agent-facing portals — and assess their compatibility and re-integration requirements in Express 3.0
- Validate integration touchpoints through API contract testing, confirming that upstream and downstream systems behave as expected against the Express 3.0 API layer
- Identify breaking changes in the Express 3.0 API relative to Express 2.0 and work with integration owners to remediate or adapter-pattern those changes before go-live
- Support the design of event-driven or webhook-based integration patterns where Express 3.0 introduces new architectural options not available in Express 2.0
Required Qualifications
API-Led Testing & Automation
- Demonstrated experience designing and executing an API-led test automation strategy on an insurance platform implementation or migration — not just contributing to one
- Proficiency with at least one API testing framework or toolset: Postman/Newman, Karate DSL, RestAssured, or equivalent
- Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
- Ability to design data-driven, parameterized test frameworks that scale across LOBs, states, and transaction types without exponential manual effort
- Experience with parallel/comparative testing methodologies: running equivalent transactions across two platform versions and programmatically comparing outputs
- Comfort working with JSON/XML payloads, REST response validation, and schema assertion tooling
P&C Insurance Domain
- 2+ years of commercial P&C insurance experience with some working knowledge of at least three lines: BOP, General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers' Compensation, Inland Marine, Commercial Property, Umbrella/Excess
Good understanding of the commercial policy lifecycle across all transaction types
