About Invisia Software

Invisia Software is a growing software product company building modern, scalable digital platforms. We operate at the intersection of thoughtful engineering and user-centric design, with a team that values ownership, technical rigour, and a bias for shipping. As we scale, we are investing in the people and infrastructure needed to move fast without breaking things — and every hire at this stage has a direct impact on the trajectory of the company.

About The Role

We're looking for a hands-on QA automation Lead who can own the quality of a consumer facing travel platform — writing real automation code, building frameworks from scratch, and owning release readiness. You'll spend the majority of your time as an individual contributor, with a secondary responsibility of mentoring and guiding the QA team of 2–3 engineers and building test strategy and test automation roadmap.

This is not a management role. If you're looking to step back from hands-on work, this isn't the right fit. If you want to do deep automation work while growing into a technical lead, it is.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain automated testing frameworks for mobile (Android & iOS) and web
• Write and own automation across API, UI, and end-to-end test layers
• Validate platform behavior across devices, OS versions, and geographies
• Own regression suites, release sign-off, and defect triage
• Work closely with Engineering and Product in sprint cycles — shift-left on quality
• Test backend services and 3rd party integrations — payment gateways, booking APIs, notification services, and data providers — validating correctness, failure handling, and retry behavior
• Design and execute performance and concurrency tests to validate system behavior under peak load — high user volumes, simultaneous bookings, and concurrent API traffic
• Identify bottlenecks in backend throughput, latency, and resource contention before they reach production
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate test authoring, improve coverage analysis, and reduce repetitive scripting effort — while maintaining human judgment on output quality
• Mentor 2–3 QA engineers - test strategy guidance, test-case review, skill development
• Define QA standards, coverage goals, and release quality criteria
• Contribute to the hiring and onboarding of QA team members

What We Require

• At least 4 years of experience in Test automation & 2+ years of QA lead experience
• Hands‑on proficiency with:

• Playwright/Selenium — web automation
• Appium — mobile automation (Android & iOS)
• Rest Assured — API and backend integration testing
• JMeter or k6 — performance and concurrency testing

• Experience testing 3rd party integrations — APIs, webhooks, payment flows, or data pipelines
• Experience testing consumer mobile + web applications at scale
• Solid grasp of functional, integration, regression, performance, and end-to-end testing
• Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum environments
• AI‑assisted testing — use of LLM‑based tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar) for test case generation, automation script creation, and defect analysis; ability to evaluate and validate AI‑generated test output for accuracy and coverage.
