What You’ll Do

• Lead the design, creation and maintenance of scalable, reliable automation frameworks for front-end (e.g., Playwright) and back-end systems (e.g., REST APIs, data pipelines, data warehouse validation across platforms like AWS and Snowflake)
• Drive automation strategy and implementation across product teams, ensuring coverage for functional, regression and nonfunctional testing
• Guide the integration of test automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to accelerate delivery and improve release confidence
• Mentor QA engineers on automation best practices, design patterns and data quality validation approaches
• Collaborate with developers, product owners and DevOps engineers to ensure quality is embedded in product design and development
• Investigate and recommend tools, technologies and practices that enhance automation effectiveness and scalability
• Ensure deliverables meet high standards of performance, security and data integrity while aligning with business objectives

• Automation architecture leadership: You have a strong background in test automation architecture and have scaled frameworks across multiple products and tech stacks.
• Strategic, hands-on approach: You balance writing code with evolving the strategic direction of QA automation initiatives.
• AI/ML quality experience: You understand how to validate and test AI/ML-driven systems to ensure model accuracy, fairness and reliability.

• Security-conscious testing: You’re familiar with roles, permissions, authentication and identity management testing.
• Tool fluency: You know how to select and apply the right technology for the job instead of defaulting to a single stack.
