Role Overview

Our company provides next-generation MarTech services, delivering a modular platform that enables global clients to unlock revenue opportunities and scale their platforms rapidly.

To support our expanding R&D and product development teams, we are seeking an Automation QA Lead to own our cross-product automation strategy and architecture. In this hands-on technical leadership role, you will design the frameworks, tooling, and standards used across the entire QA organization while leading and scaling a team of automation engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Automation Strategy & Architecture: Own cross-product test automation roadmaps, framework design, and technical standards.

• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead, coach, and elevate automation engineers—measuring your success by how effectively your team grows and outperforms expectations.

• AI-Augmented Testing: Drive mandatory AI adoption across the automation lifecycle (AI-assisted test generation, maintenance, and triage), embedding AI as a team baseline.

• Infrastructure & Reliability: Own CI/CD pipeline integration, test execution reporting, and continuous flaky-test reduction.

• Code Craftsmanship: Establish and enforce strict code quality, architecture reviews, and maintainability standards across all test repos.

• Hands-on Engineering: Stay actively involved in writing and reviewing code, resolving complex technical blockers, and leading by example.

• Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with developers, architects, product managers, and QA Leads to bake quality into the CI/CD pipeline.

• Talent Bench Building: Actively participate in technical recruiting, hiring engineers who raise the team’s technical bar.

Requirements

• 6+ years in test automation with deep hands-on expertise in TypeScript and Playwright (or strong equivalents), including core framework architecture experience.

• Proven Technical Leadership: History of mentoring, leading, and expanding automation engineering teams.

• Mandatory AI Competency: Fluent in utilizing modern AI tools to accelerate test automation workflows and driving their adoption across engineering teams.

• Multiplier Impact: Demonstrated track record of building frameworks and developing engineers whose combined output far exceeds your individual footprint.

• High Autonomy & Ownership: Self-directed leader capable of creating operational clarity with minimal oversight.

• DevOps & CI/CD: Practical experience integrating automation suites into modern CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling an automation function through periods of rapid team growth.

• Exposure to performance, load, or security test automation.

• Experience in high-scale MarTech or SaaS platform environments.
