Job Requirements

  • 3-5+ years of hands-on Linux system administration experience with strong proficiency in Ubuntu Linux including systems, networking, storage management, and security hardening
  • 2+ years of experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, specifically Ansible (roles, playbooks, inventories) and Terraform (state management, CI/CD plan/apply workflows)
  • Hands-on familiarity with HPE Morpheus Enterprise or similar HVM/KVM platforms for VM provisioning, template management, and self-service automation; experience with VMware vCenter is a strong plus
  • Working knowledge of NetBox for IPAM, DCIM, and network source-of-truth management; experience with NetBox API integrations preferred
  • Proficiency in scripting languages for automation and tooling development
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, routing, and firewall rules as they apply to virtualized and cloud environments
  • Familiarity with Git-based version control and collaborative workflows (GitLab or GitHub)
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve complex system and infrastructure issues independently and under pressure
  • Strong documentation habits - able to produce accurate and maintainable runbooks, topology diagrams, and change records
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with a diverse workload
  • Strong team player - collaborates effectively with peers and cross-functional teams to solve problems
  • Proactive, change-oriented mindset - actively seeks process improvements and drives automation-first approaches
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or a related discipline — or equivalent combination of education and relevant work experience
  • Knowledge of ITIL and ITSM best practices
  • Preferred Certifications: Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC-1/LPIC-2) or Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA); Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294) or better; HashiCorp Terraform Associate (003 or 004)

Role Description As a QA Automation Lead, you will serve as the technical backbone for our quality engineering organization, designing scalable automation frameworks while actively steering our testing strategy forward. You will anchor the shift from legacy manual processes toward a mature, automated quality ecosystem across web, mobile, and API layers. Recognizing that sustainable automation takes time to build, you will comfortably balance hands-on functional testing today with the strategic architectural vision needed for tomorrow. This role is critical to transforming our delivery pipeline, accelerating release cycles, and reducing production risks in high-velocity environments. You will evaluate current tooling, recommend next-generation automation frameworks, and lead cross-functional engineering PODs through the execution of our quality roadmap. Your technical leadership will directly shape how we build, scale, and maintain resilient software solutions for US-based enterprise clients. Key Responsibilities - Steer Automation Strategy: - Evaluate legacy testing processes, select modern automation tools, and architect scalable testing frameworks (web, API, mobile) from the ground up. - Execute Pragmatic Testing: - Balance building new automation assets with hands-on manual and exploratory testing to maintain high quality coverage during the transition phase. - Orchestrate Pipeline Integration: - Embed automated test suites into CI/CD workflows to enable continuous validation, early defect detection, and fast feedback loops. - Drive Tooling & Standards: - Establish organization-wide QA standards, test data management practices, and framework maintenance guidelines to ensure long-term stability. - Lead Quality Transformations: - Guide engineering PODs through process shifts, leading risk assessments, defect triage, and root-cause analysis alongside development leads. - Mentor & Elevate Engineers: - Upskill manual QA team members, driving adoption of automation best practices through regular code reviews and technical mentoring. Qualifications - 6+ years of dedicated experience in software quality engineering, with at least 2+ years in a technical lead or transformation-focused role. - Proven track record building resilient, maintainable test automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or WebdriverIO. - Strong willingness to execute manual and functional testing as needed while designing and building out the long-term automation suite. - Deep expertise validating RESTful/gRPC APIs using both automated scripts and manual tools like Postman, Swagger, or Charles Proxy. - Advanced command of SQL for backend data validation alongside test management tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr). - High ownership mindset, proactive strategic leadership, and the ability to influence cross-functional technical stakeholders. - Advanced English proficiency (written and verbal) for seamless collaboration with executive leadership and US-based clients. Requirements - Hands-on experience configuring automated test runs within GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI. - Familiarity with performance and load testing frameworks like k6, JMeter, or Gatling. - Experience setting up mobile test automation suites using Appium or Detox. - Basic experience with Docker for spinning up containerized test environments.
