About the role

As a Senior Automation QA Engineer, you'll play a critical role in shaping our overall quality strategy. You'll go beyond executing tests — you'll define frameworks, influence product architecture for testability, and mentor others in adopting automation best practices. This role requires a strategic mindset, deep technical expertise, and strong collaboration skills across Product, Engineering, and DevOps teams.

What you'll do

• Own the Quality Strategy: Drive the definition and execution of the QA roadmap, ensuring quality is built into every stage of product development. Identify systemic gaps in our CI/CD pipeline and design scalable, automated solutions to improve release reliability and speed.
• Architect and Scale Test Automation: Design, build, and maintain robust automation frameworks across web, mobile, and API layers. Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and early defect detection.
• Partner Across Teams: Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to influence feature design, acceptance criteria, and implementation decisions to improve testability and product quality.
• Ensure Full Test Coverage: Develop and implement comprehensive test strategies, balancing automated and manual testing approaches for regression, integration, performance, and end-to-end testing.
• Lead Incident and Defect Management: Triage complex defects, conduct root cause analysis, and provide actionable insights to engineering teams. Partner with stakeholders to prioritize and resolve issues efficiently.
• Mentor and Elevate Quality Culture: Coach junior and mid-level QA engineers, share best practices, and champion a culture of continuous improvement and quality ownership across the product organization.
• Contribute to Cross-Functional Excellence: Actively participate in sprint planning, refinement, and retrospectives. Bring a quality-first perspective to product and release discussions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 5+ years of software testing experience, including 3+ years focused on test automation.
• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with solid coding fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with modern tools such as Playwright, Appium, WebdriverIO, CodeceptJS, and Cypress, with a strong understanding of designing maintainable, scalable test automation frameworks.
• Deep understanding of application architecture and how system components interact, with strong expertise in API testing and frontend UI automation.
• Strong knowledge of test design techniques, test architecture, and defect lifecycle management.
• Experience with performance/load testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling, k6) and the ability to analyze performance metrics.
• Familiarity with APM/observability tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace) and log tracing to understand system behavior and identify root causes.
• Strong grasp of the SDLC and modern delivery practices (Agile, CI/CD, DevOps).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify root causes and propose effective, data-driven solutions.
• Business acumen with the ability to align test strategies to product and customer outcomes.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills in English.
• Demonstrated ability to lead quality initiatives, influence without authority, and mentor other QA engineers.
