  • Use data to drive improvements in quality, speed, and reliability
  • Continuously improve tooling, processes, and workflows
  • Manage, mentor, and technically guide QA engineers and SDETs
  • Set expectations for code quality, test design, and automation standards
  • Lead by example through hands-on contribution and technical reviews
  • Help hire, onboard, and grow QA automation talent

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience in QA, test automation, or SDET roles
  • Strong hands-on experience building automation frameworks from scratch or at scale
  • Proficiency in one or more languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Scala
  • Deep experience with API testing (REST, GraphQL) and backend validation
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and test automation integration
  • Strong understanding of modern SDLC, test strategies, and quality engineering principles
  • Proven ability to lead technically, mentor others, and influence without authority
  • Experience with tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, REST Assured, Postman, Gatling, JMeter, or similar
  • Experience testing distributed systems, data platforms, or cloud-native applications
  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Experience with performance, load, or reliability testing
  • Prior experience in a Lead QA / Staff SDET / Principal QA role

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with OLAP concepts and technologies such as SSIS and SSAS
