Test Automation Engineer: what this role brings to your project
A Test Automation Engineer designs, builds and sustains a product's test framework: the Playwright, Cypress or Selenium suites that run on their own in the CI/CD pipeline and catch regression before every release.
Their boundary with the QA Engineer is the object: QA decides what to test and against which criteria; this role turns it into stable suites that run with nobody watching and leave a coverage report.

Why work with Shakers
The advantages of adding this profile with Shakers
The regression runs itself on every commit
Regression tests stop eating days before each release: the suite executes in your CI/CD and warns before you deploy.
Stable suites, not fragile ones
Robust selectors, explicit waits and quarantine for the unstable: maintenance is measured and never grows in silence.
A start that does not stall operations
The first cases are the smoke test of each deployment and grow with no downtime: the team keeps support and the suite advances.
Coverage that is visible, not promised
Every run in GitHub Actions or Jenkins leaves its coverage report: what is protected and what is not, to decide the next one.
API and E2E under one framework
From API tests with Postman to end-to-end journeys in Playwright or Cypress: one suite for the whole stack.
Capacity without growing headcount
A Test Automation Engineer by project, no hiring process: certified talent that joins on top of your repository and your pipeline.
What does a Test Automation Engineer deliver in the first weeks?
An inventory of what is tested by hand today, the first smoke cases running in the pipeline and the coverage report that says what is already protected and what is still open.
Can you automate without stalling the team's daily operation?
Yes, with shift-left: the first cases are the smoke test of each deployment and run in parallel inside CI/CD, with no downtime windows. Operation keeps its pace and the suite grows case by case.
What stack does a Test Automation Engineer in Spain master?
The one real job ads ask for: Playwright, Cypress and Selenium as the framework; TypeScript, Python or Java as language; GitHub Actions or Jenkins as the runner, and Postman for API tests.
What if the automated tests break on their own?
That is the flaky, the pain of the craft: robust selectors, explicit waits and quarantine for the unstable, with maintenance measured in every report. A fragile suite gets stabilised before it grows.
How much does it cost to work with a Test Automation Engineer?
Scope sets it: how many suites get automated, at which points of the pipeline they run and whether API and end-to-end tests are included. The budget closes per project before kickoff.
Do the tests run in our pipeline, or must it be built from scratch?
They run in the one you already have: GitHub Actions, Jenkins or GitLab CI run the suite on every commit and block the release when something breaks. If it is missing, the brief starts with DevOps.

The map of what is tested by hand today, the first smoke cases in your pipeline and the coverage report of what is already protected.
A title the market already posts
243 active tech job ads in Spain mention test automation, according to Shakers market analysis (n=31,162, September 2026), as Test Automation Engineer or QA Automation Engineer. The stack has already turned: playwright (279) ahead of selenium (194), with cypress (248) in between.
Where automation ends
It does not replace criteria: it decides the how of the repetitive, not the what of the exploratory. If the pain is what to test and when, it belongs to QA; if it is the missing pipeline, to DevOps.
A team by project, not a vacancy
The brief arrives with the symptom: releases stalled by manual regression and tests only their author can run. Scope closes before kickoff.

Find specialists in Tech, Product, Data to complement your team
QA Engineer
The criteria: what deserves testing and when. This profile builds the framework that runs those decisions; many briefs cross from one to the other.
DevOps Engineer
Owns the pipeline where the suite will run: if the CI/CD does not exist yet, the brief starts there and automation comes right after.
Backend Developer
Writes the code the suite exercises: unit tests are born with them and the framework covers it end to end and by API.
SRE
When the system falls over with the suite green, the problem is no longer the release: reliability, on-call and incidents are their brief.
