You'll play a key role in ensuring this next-generation platform achieves exceptional reliability, performance, and user satisfaction.

As a senior member of the engineering team, you'll take ownership of the end-to-end automation strategy and execution, from framework design and test coverage planning to implementation, integration, and continuous improvement. You'll collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver intelligent, high-quality, and seamless user experiences.

Key Responsibilities

  • Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and code reviews to align automation efforts with release goals.

  • Collaborate on test data setup, mocking strategies, and CI/CD optimization for faster deployments.

  • Advocate for testability, maintainability, and performance in architectural discussions.

Process & Tooling Excellence

  • Evaluate and adopt modern automation tools (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent).

  • Implement API testing using tools such as Postman, REST Assured, or similar frameworks.

  • Support performance testing (e.g., JMeter, k6) and monitor system behavior under load.

  • Ensure adherence to accessibility, security, and performance testing standards.

Team Leadership & Knowledge Sharing

  • Mentor QA engineers in automation best practices, code quality, and test design principles.

  • Collaborate with distributed teams to maintain consistency in automation coverage and practices.

  • Champion a culture of continuous improvement, emphasizing reliability, observability, and proactive testing.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance, with a strong focus on test automation.

  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python for building and maintaining test automation frameworks.

  • Experience with UI and API automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or REST Assured.

  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and integration of automated tests (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).

  • Strong knowledge of QA methodologies, SDLC, and Agile processes.

  • Familiarity with web application architecture and REST/GraphQL API testing.

  • Upper-Intermediate English proficiency (written and spoken) for effective collaboration.

Nice to Have

  • Experience testing AI-powered or LLM-based chat applications.

  • Familiarity with performance and load testing tools (k6, JMeter).

  • Experience working with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerized systems (Docker, Kubernetes).
