About The Role
We are looking for a Lead Automation Engineer to drive the automation strategy across our Quality Engineering organization.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role:
you will architect and evolve reactive test automation frameworks, own API and UI test coverage, embed automation deeply into CI/CD, and bring AI-driven approaches into everyday QE practice.
You will also act as a backup to the QA Manager, stepping in on team coordination, planning, and stakeholder reporting when needed.
Key Responsibilities
Automation Strategy & Framework Ownership
-
Design, build, and maintain reactive, scalable test automation frameworks from the ground up
-
Define automation standards, coding conventions, and best practices across the QE team
-
Continuously evaluate and evolve the toolchain to keep pace with product and team growth
Technical Execution
-
Lead UI test automation using Playwright, including page object patterns, parallelization, and cross-browser strategy
-
Own API test automation and using Postman and Pactum JS (collections, environments, automated test scripts, monitors)
-
Integrate automated test suites deeply into CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for speed, reliability, and actionable failure reporting
-
Champion a "shift-left" approach, embedding automation earlier in the development lifecycle
AI-Driven Quality Engineering
-
Identify and implement practical AI applications within QE workflows: test generation, self-healing tests, intelligent triage of flaky tests, coverage gap analysis, and reporting automation
-
Stay current on AI-assisted testing tools and evaluate their fit for the team's stack and maturity level
