Job Description
QA Automation Lead, Data Intelligence
Actian
• Design, scale, and maintain robust automation frameworks capable of testing the complex SaaS and distributed data architectures of the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. • Embed automated test suites seamlessly into the CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) to achieve true continuous integration and rapid feedback loops. • Drive deep integration, API, performance, resilience, and data-integrity automation across the entire product stack. • Act as the ultimate technical authority for the QA automation squad, establishing clean code standards for test scripts, conducting rigorous code reviews, and minimizing framework technical debt. • Coach junior automation engineers and guide functional QA testers in transitioning toward automated practices, ensuring everyone owns their automation targets. • Allocate engineering capacity effectively across feature testing, framework enhancement, and technical debt reduction. • Own the final quality sign-off for platform releases. Have the technical authority and conviction to halt deployments if quality thresholds are not met. • Collaborate closely with Product Management, Core Engineering, and DevOps to understand new features early, mapping out automation strategies before the code is written. • Partner with the Sustaining Engineering team to analyze production leaks, quickly writing automated tests to reproduce bugs and guarantee they never regress. • Treat flaky tests as a critical system anomaly. Track, isolate, and eliminate them to maintain absolute trust in the automation suite. • Track and report on key QA operational metrics (Test Coverage, Automation Pass Rates, Execution Time, and Defect Leakage Rate) to optimize delivery speed. • Pioneer the usage of modern AI tools to accelerate test case generation, optimize test suites, and intelligently predict defect hot-spots.
Job Requirements
- Strong background as a Senior SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) or QA Automation Lead, with proven experience testing complex enterprise SaaS, distributed systems, big data engines, or data platforms.
