Job description

We are seeking a highly accomplished QA Technical Leader (Senior Technical Architect or Director) with 15+ years of Experience to drive enterprise-wide Quality Engineering, Test Automation, AI Testing, and QA Technical Delivery Excellence across large-scale cloud-native and AI-powered platforms. A working technical QA leader who can code, debug, and build automation alongside the team while also owning delivery, mentorship, and stakeholder communication. Comfortable guiding a team through both traditional test automation and emerging AI testing practices, this person balances day-to-day hands-on contribution with the accountability of leading people and driving release quality.

This role requires a deeply hands-on technical leader who leads by example — writing code, reviewing frameworks, and guiding teams through complex technical problems — while also owning the people, process, and delivery dimensions of a QA organization. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with practical experience testing AI Agents, LLMs, and AI/ML models, and is equally comfortable mentoring engineers, running technical reviews, and presenting quality risk to senior stakeholders.

The successful candidate will lead a team of QA engineers and automation specialists, set technical direction for automation and AI testing practices, and act as the primary point of accountability for quality across their product or platform area, while partnering closely with Architects, Engineering Leads, and Product Managers.

Required Qualifications

• Strong Health Care Domain Experience at least for 3 to 4 years
• Strong hands-on programming skills in Java (preferred)
• Strong hands-on programming with Selenium+Java , Playwright + MCP , TypeScript , SQL
• Solid understanding of OOP, Design Patterns, and general software architecture principles.
• Strong Experience with Testing on cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
• Practical experience testing or validating AI Agents, LLMs, or AI/ML-driven features.
• Hands-on experience with automation tools such as Appium, Cypress, WebdriverIO, REST Assured, Postman, TestNG/JUnit, and Maven.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps) and Git-based workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and mentor a team while remaining hands-on with code and technical problem-solving.
• Strong communication skills, with experience presenting quality status and risk to engineering and product leadership.
