Role Description We are seeking a highly technical QA Lead / Senior SDET Lead to architect and drive our automation‑first quality engineering strategy. This role is deeply hands‑on: you will design automation frameworks, build test infrastructure, integrate quality signals into CI/CD pipelines, and ensure our systems are testable, observable, and reliable by design. You will lead a team of QA engineers while also contributing directly to code, tooling, and automation architecture. Responsibilities - Technical Leadership & Quality Engineering Strategy - Lead and mentor SDETs and QA engineers with a focus on automation, tooling, and engineering excellence. - Define a modern quality engineering strategy centered on automation, continuous testing, and shift‑left practices. - Establish coding standards for test automation, testability patterns, and engineering best practices. - Partner with Engineering and DevOps to embed quality into architecture, design reviews, and deployment workflows. - Automation Architecture & Framework Development - Architect, build, and maintain automation frameworks for: - UI testing (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium) - API testing (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) - Backend/service‑level testing - Contract testing (Pact or similar) - Develop reusable libraries, utilities, and internal test frameworks. - Implement parallel execution, distributed test runners, and containerized test environments. - Ensure frameworks support scalability, modularity, and low‑maintenance test design. - CI/CD Integration & Test Infrastructure - Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). - Build continuous testing workflows across build, integration, staging, and production‑like environments. - Implement automated quality gates, flaky‑test detection, and intelligent failure triage. - Collaborate with DevOps to optimize pipelines for speed, determinism, and reproducibility. - Testing & Validation - Oversee and contribute to test planning, test case design, and automated test development. - Ensure robust coverage across functional, regression, integration, and end‑to‑end scenarios. - Implement service virtualization, mock servers, and dependency isolation for distributed systems. - Drive performance, load, and reliability testing using modern tooling (k6, Gatling, JMeter). - Observability, Monitoring & Quality Metrics - Integrate test signals with observability platforms (logs, metrics, traces). - Define and track engineering‑level quality KPIs (coverage, flakiness rate, MTTR, automation ROI). - Build dashboards for test health, pipeline quality, and release readiness. - Lead root‑cause analysis and drive systemic improvements across engineering. - Shift‑Left & Built‑In Quality - Promote early testing practices including unit, component, and contract testing. - Work with developers to improve code testability, dependency injection patterns, and instrumentation. - Support TDD/BDD workflows and participate in code reviews with a focus on test coverage and quality. - Advocate for built‑in test capabilities such as health checks, diagnostics, and runtime assertions. Qualifications - 7+ years in QA/SDET roles, with 2–3 years in a technical leadership capacity. - Strong hands‑on experience building automation frameworks (UI, API, backend). - Proficiency in one or more programming languages (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript). - Deep experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines. - Expertise with modern test frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, pytest, etc.). - Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and API‑driven architectures. - Solid understanding of Agile, DevOps, and continuous delivery practices. - Experience with Git and modern branching strategies. Preferred - Experience with containerized test environments (Docker, Kubernetes). - Familiarity with contract testing, service virtualization, and mock servers. - Experience with performance and load testing tools (k6, Gatling, JMeter). - Exposure to observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry). - Experience in high‑scale or real‑time systems (ad tech, fintech, event tech, etc.). What We Offer - Competitive salary and benefits package. - A high‑impact engineering environment where automation and quality engineering are first‑class citizens. - Opportunities to work closely with senior technical leadership. - The chance to shape the automation and quality architecture of a next‑generation platform. - A culture built on innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement.
