Full Description
About the Role
We are building an AI-first product and engineering organization with rapid delivery cycles, a strong automation culture, and a modern TypeScript/Next.js-based stack.
We are looking for a QA Lead who is deeply technical, automation-first, and able to own the quality discipline end-to-end: test architecture, automation strategy, exploratory testing, reliability, and release readiness.
This is not a manual QA role — this is a technical leadership position.
Responsibilities
Test Automation Strategy & Architecture
Own and design the end-to-end test automation framework.
Maintain stable, deterministic E2E test suites.
Ensure critical user flows have robust automation coverage.
Define and evolve the automation architecture (fixtures, mocks, selectors, utilities, data setup).
Quality Involvement in Product & Engineering Process
Review product requirements and expand them into clear, testable scenarios.
Identify edge cases, negative flows, and missing states early.
Validate prototypes and UX flows before development begins.
Ensure quality is built into the design, not added after.
Testing Execution (Strategy & Leadership)
Define the overall testing strategy across E2E, API, integration, and exploratory layers.
Define a balanced and efficient test pyramid.
Build and maintain the E2E automation suite.
Lead exploratory testing for usability, edge cases, and cross-flow scenarios.
Validate UI behavior and flows against Product Design specs.
Partner with backend and frontend engineers for proper API and integration test coverage.
Identify, document, and prioritize quality risks across the system.
Collaboration
Work closely with FE/BE engineers on test placement and coverage.
Maintain test data strategy and mocking/stubbing layers.
Coach engineers to write stable, maintainable tests.
Partner with Product Design to define clear, testable selectors and states.
Release Quality & Reliability
Approve release readiness for major deployments.
Monitor, investigate, and reduce flaky tests.
Improve reliability of test pipelines and CI tooling.
Continuously enhance the stability of the release process.
Key Qualifications
Must-Have
4+ years of QA/QE experience, heavily focused on automation.
Strong experience with Playwright or Cypress (or similar modern JS automation tools).
Experience building or maintaining E2E test frameworks.
Understanding of modern frontend architecture (React/Next.js).
Understanding of REST APIs, backend flows, and integration patterns.
Hands-on experience in fast, iterative release environments.
Practical experience using AI tooling in QA (e.g., AI-assisted test generation, test impact analysis, AI-based exploratory testing, or GPT/Claude/Copilot workflows).
Bonus
Experience leading QA in AI-driven or automation-first organizations.
Experience designing test impact analysis, selective test execution pipelines, or quality risk models.
Experience establishing QA standards in startups or high-velocity engineering teams.
Experience optimizing CI/CD for large test suites (parallelism, caching, orchestration).
What Success Looks Like
Critical flows are fully automated and consistently stable.
Release cycles run smoothly with minimal QA friction.
Flaky tests are proactively reduced and eliminated.
Engineers follow your automation practices and quality standards.
Product & Engineering teams benefit from early QA involvement.
The overall product becomes more predictable, reliable, and testable.
