We are looking for a Senior/Lead QA Automation Engineer to own and evolve automated testing frameworks, introduce AI-assisted QA practices, and define quality engineering strategy across an AI-driven product development environment. You will architect automation across the full testing stack — unit, integration, API, UI, performance, and security — integrate quality gates into CI/CD pipelines, design evaluation frameworks for LLM-based features, and mentor engineers in modern automation and AI-augmented workflows.

- Own and evolve the organization’s automated testing framework and QA tooling ecosystem;

- Define and standardize AI-assisted testing practices, including test case/data generation, coverage discovery, and responsible AI guardrails;

- Implement intelligent test selection, regression analysis, and measurable quality metrics to optimize release quality and reduce risk;

- Ensure AI-augmented tests remain deterministic, maintainable, production-ready, and supported by traceability, validation, and drift detection;

- Architect and scale automation across unit, integration, API, UI, contract, performance, and security testing;

- Champion modern testing principles, integrate automation into CI/CD, and enforce quality gates and release readiness criteria;

- Design evaluation frameworks for AI-powered features, including prompt robustness, deterministic validation, and human-in-the-loop review where appropriate;

- Lead root-cause analysis for systemic quality issues and continuously improve automation ROI and test effectiveness;

- Mentor engineers on modern automation, AI-assisted workflows, prompt engineering, and review standards for AI-generated code;

- Define and track QA KPIs, provide data-driven Go/No-Go recommendations, and improve testing strategy based on measurable outcomes;

- Partner with Engineering, Product, Security, and DevOps to embed quality early, influence architecture, and integrate accessibility, security, and privacy testing throughout the SDLC.

- 5+ years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, or SDET roles;

- 3+ years leading automation strategy or serving as a senior technical QA authority;

- Hands-on experience using AI tools for test generation, refactoring, and automation maintenance;

- Experience evaluating LLM-based systems (prompt robustness, structured outputs, drift detection, and versioned regression suites);

- Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (TypeScript, Java, Python, etc.) and modern test frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium);

- Demonstrated experience designing, maintaining, and scaling test automation frameworks and CI/CD quality gates;

- Strong understanding of distributed systems, HTTP lifecycle, and database querying (SQL/NoSQL);

- Experience mentoring engineers and leading quality initiatives with measurable outcomes;

- Upper-intermediate English level.

- Working knowledge of secure testing practices (OWASP Top 10) and performance testing strategy;

- Familiarity with compliance, privacy, or regulated industry SaaS environments;

- Experience implementing performance/load testing strategies;

- Experience with accessibility testing strategy and tooling.

- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.

- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.

- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.

- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
