The role focuses on assessing the current automation landscape, improving API reliability, expanding UI automation, and establishing clear automation health metrics. This hybrid position reports to the Director of Quality Assurance in Atlanta.

Qualifications

7+ years QA Automation experience.
3+ years leading automation initiatives.
Strong hands-on experience with Playwright and TypeScript.
Experience evaluating and improving existing automation frameworks.
Experience designing and maintaining UI, API, and data automation solutions.

Responsibilities

Define and own the automation roadmap — establish standards, quality gates, coverage goals, and success metrics across UI, API, and data validation.
Partner with QA, Engineering, Product, and DevOps to align automation efforts with business priorities and release objectives.
Provide accurate, timely reporting on automation coverage, execution health, and release readiness that can be independently validated and relied upon by leadership; communicate risks and remediation plans proactively.
Create and maintain strategy documents, architecture diagrams, onboarding guides, and runbooks; lead knowledge transfer to reduce key-person dependency.
Mentor QA team members contributing to automation efforts.
Critically evaluate the existing Playwright framework — assess architecture, coverage, test quality, and reliability — and execute a clear improvement plan.
Contribute to, maintain, and evolve the framework; design scalable, reusable solutions that support long-term growth.
Define and enforce coding standards, framework conventions, and automation best practices.
Build and maintain comprehensive coverage across UI, API, and data validation — including endpoint validation, functional workflow testing, negative testing, and regression.
