  • Lead distributed teams across functional, automation, performance, environmental, TDM, release engineering, and AI‑QE capabilities
  • Mentor QE leaders, architects, and managers to uplift skills, competency, and engineering maturity
  • Align teams to outcome‑driven delivery, not just “lights‑on” operations
  • Evaluate and integrate Client’s tool chain, aligning QE innovation with Client’s AI architecture direction

Requirements:

  • 20-25+ years in QE engineering, transformation, and automation leadership
  • Mastery of: Playwright, Appium, Selenium, Cypress, Java
