Job description

As QA Automation Lead, you will own the test automation strategy end-to-end, shape how automation testing and continuous integration work across the engineering organization, and mentor the QA engineers around you. You'll work across web (desktop), API, and mobile (native) platforms, and partner closely with engineering and DevOps to test the failure modes that matter most in a distributed, multi-tenant system.

Key responsibilities

Own test automation strategy end-to-end: Take accountability for strategy and outcomes, shaping how automation testing and CI work across the organization rather than just executing within it.

Cross-platform test automation: Write and maintain automated tests for flows spanning multiple services or systems across web (desktop), API, and mobile (native) platforms.

Test data & environment management: Define isolated, resettable test data strategies seeded per test using masked or synthetic data rather than production records.

Distributed systems validation: Test critical failure modes (idempotency, out-of-order events, eventual consistency, concurrency) and partner with Engineering/DevOps on fault-injection scenarios.

Deep verification & quality assurance: Verify state through logs, traces, metrics, and direct database queries; validate functionality, performance, reliability, and legacy compatibility.

CI integration & release gates: Integrate test suites into CI as reliable, fast release gates that produce clear go/no-go signals.

Triage & root-cause analysis: Lead defect triage on production issues, converting findings into regression tests and preventative measures across teams.

SDLC & governance standards: Enforce QA and change management standards, including documentation, test/implementation plans, and recovery procedures.

Mentorship & continuous improvement: Mentor QA engineers, advocate for best practices, and refine testing methodologies continuously.

Stakeholder communication: Communicate quality status and technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

JOB REQUIREMENTS :

4+ years in test automation, including 2+ years leading a team or owning an organization-wide test framework.

Production-quality coding ability in Java, Python, or Golang.

Hands-on experience using Postman and/or REST Assured.

Comfort with asynchronous/event-driven systems (e.g., RabbitMQ).

Familiarity with tooling such as Jira and Zephyr.

Experience with load testing tools such as JMeter or K6.

Experience running automated suites in CI (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).

Deep understanding of fixtures/builders, isolation, deterministic setup/teardown, test doubles, and E2E trade-offs.

Expert knowledge of integration, system, acceptance, smoke, functional, regression, black-box, white-box, and grey-box testing.
