Define and standardize AI-assisted testing practices, including test case/data generation, coverage discovery, and responsible AI guardrails;
Implement intelligent test selection, regression analysis, and measurable quality metrics to optimize release quality and reduce risk;
Ensure AI-augmented tests remain deterministic, maintainable, production-ready, and supported by traceability, validation, and drift detection;
Architect and scale automation across unit, integration, API, UI, contract, performance, and security testing;
Champion modern testing principles, integrate automation into CI/CD, and enforce quality gates and release readiness criteria;
Design evaluation frameworks for AI-powered features, including prompt robustness, deterministic validation, and human-in-the-loop review where appropriate;
Lead root-cause analysis for systemic quality issues and continuously improve automation ROI and test effectiveness;
Mentor engineers on modern automation, AI-assisted workflows, prompt engineering, and review standards for AI-generated code;
Define and track QA KPIs, provide data-driven Go/No-Go recommendations, and improve testing strategy based on measurable outcomes;
Partner with Engineering, Product, Security, and DevOps to embed quality early, influence architecture, and integrate accessibility, security, and privacy testing throughout the SDLC.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, or SDET roles;
3+ years leading automation strategy or serving as a senior technical QA authority;
Hands-on experience using AI tools for test generation, refactoring, and automation maintenance;
Experience evaluating LLM-based systems (prompt robustness, structured outputs, drift detection, and versioned regression suites);
Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (TypeScript, Java, Python, etc.) and modern test frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium);
Demonstrated experience designing, maintaining, and scaling test automation frameworks and CI/CD quality gates;
Strong understanding of distributed systems, HTTP lifecycle, and database querying (SQL/NoSQL);
Experience mentoring engineers and leading quality initiatives with measurable outcomes;
Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to Have

Working knowledge of secure testing practices (OWASP Top 10) and performance testing strategy;
Familiarity with compliance, privacy, or regulated industry SaaS environments;
Experience implementing performance/load testing strategies;
Experience with accessibility testing strategy and tooling.
