Job description

Don’t miss your chance to join a global team that's transforming the way people travel as a Principal QA Automation & AI Engineer.

About iVisa

At iVisa we believe that traveling should be simple. That’s why 2.6M+ travelers have chosen us to facilitate their visas, passports, and other travel documents. We are the easiest, fastest, and simplest solution in the market. Our company is growing 80% year on year. We know our biggest strength is our people and we’re looking for the right new team members to help propel our culture and achieve our goals. Above all else, we always have fun!

About The Role

Design, build and evolve the QA team's automation and AI-assisted testing capabilities across web and mobile products, turning repetitive testing work into reliable, scalable and data-driven processes. Own the E2E, mobile and API automation frameworks end to end, integrate them into CI/CD pipelines, and bring AI tools and agents into the QA workflow (test design, execution, triage and reporting). Partner with developers and PMs to make quality faster to validate and easier to measure, communicate fluently in English, and enable the rest of the QA team to adopt automation and AI in their daily work.

Why iVisa

• Collaborative, friendly, and diverse culture: We foster an inclusive and vibrant atmosphere, featuring a dynamic and international environment with flat hierarchies and exceptionally amiable colleagues.
• Truly remote-first work environment: work from anywhere or everywhere - we encourage global travel.
• Access to continuous learning and cutting-edge AI tools, supported by dedicated budgets for professional development.
• Extended Family Leave policy: Our policy covers all birthing parents, non-birthing parents, and adopting parents.
• Thrive in a highly tech-savvy company equipped with cutting-edge tools and the power to make a substantial impact.
• Join us in our commitment to the planet and sustainability: For every iViser, we plant one tree, allowing you to contribute to our environmental initiatives.
• Rest and Relaxation: We offer flexible PTO for all team members.

As a Principal QA Automation & AI Engineer at iVisa, you will make an impact by:

• Owning and scaling our Playwright (web) and Appium (mobile) automation frameworks: architecture, stability, coverage and maintainability.
• Building and maintaining REST API test automation to validate integrations and catch defects earlier.
• Integrating and running automated suites in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to deliver fast, reliable feedback on every change.
• Designing and implementing AI-assisted workflows for test case generation, failure triage, flaky-test detection and run analysis.
• Building agents and integrations (LLM APIs, MCP, Slack, ClickUp) that reduce manual QA effort and turn automation results into clear quality signals for release decisions.
• Enabling the QA team through documentation, pairing and training so they can contribute to and benefit from automation and AI.

What makes you a great fit for this role:

• 5+ years of experience in software QA or development, with at least 3 years building and maintaining test automation frameworks.
• Experience automating mobile tests with Appium.
• Experience integrating and running tests in CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
• Solid experience testing and automating REST APIs.
• Practical experience applying LLMs and AI tools to QA workflows (AI coding assistants, LLM APIs, agents), with examples of measurable impact.
• Fluent English and the ability to work autonomously, explain technical trade-offs clearly and teach others.
• Nice to have: TypeScript, MCP / workflow automation tools, Slack or ClickUp integrations, ISTQB certification.

iVisa is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and respectful workplace. We provide equal employment opportunities to all and do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
