Lo
Dice is the leading career destination for tech experts at every stage of their careers. Our client, TexcelVision Inc., is seeking the following. Apply via Dice today!
Lead the quality platform behind mission-critical software Partner directly with architects to fix today's framework pain, modernize our stack, and hard-wire a true shift-left culture-while piloting AI-assisted testing to boost coverage, speed, and confidence.
What You'll Do
Own the quality platform: Set strategy, architecture, and standards for automation-Java today, with pragmatic evolution to modern UI/API automation where it improves reliability.
Embed quality early: Drive PR-level tests, contract/API checks, and CI/CD quality gates for rapid, trusted developer feedback.
Apply AI where it counts: Use AI/LLM-assisted test generation, self-healing locators, flake triage, and test-impact analysis to reduce toil and raise signal.
Simplify the SDLC: With DevOps, streamline pipelines, test data management, environment provisioning, and release guardrails for faster flow.
Solve hard problems with architects: Tackle cross-cutting issues (auth, data, performance, flakiness) and retire tech debt with durable solutions.
Build the right tests: Expand reliable web/UI, API, and integration coverage; harden environments and test data.
Coach and elevate: Mentor QA engineers, review automation code, and set standards for readability, reliability, and maintainability.
Measure what matters: Stand up live dashboards (coverage, pass/fail, flakiness, MTTR) to inform decisions and continuously raise the bar.
Own root cause: Lead deep-dive debugging across test and prod, driving prevention-not just fixes.
Your Toolbox (What We Use & Value)
Languages/Frameworks: Java, JUnit, Maven; BDD with Cucumber/Gherkin.
Automation: Selenium WebDriver (today); informed experience with Playwright (Java/TypeScript) a plus.
CI/CD & SCM: Jenkins, GitHub Actions; GitHub for collaboration.
Observability & Metrics: Grafana (quality and performance dashboards).
Backend/Platform context: Spring Boot/Spring Security; Oracle DB; FileNet/content systems.
Scripting: PowerShell or similar for utilities.
Quality practices: Testing pyramid, risk-based design, code reviews, and environment parity.
Where We're Headed (And Where You'll Lead)
GitHub-native CI/CD: Standardize on GitHub pipelines for frequent, automated deployments-define branch strategy, environment promotions, and reusable workflows that make shipping safe by default.
Reliable testing for high velocity: Build a strategy that scales with cadence-PR checks, contract/API tests, fast UI smoke suites, test-impact analysis, deterministic data & ephemeral envs, parallelization, and rigorous flake control.
AI-assisted, data-driven quality: Apply LLM-assisted test generation/self-healing and enforce quality gates backed by live dashboards (coverage, flakiness, MTTR, DORA) to boost signal and confidence.
Framework evolution (tool-agnostic): Evaluate and pilot modern UI/API automation options against clear criteria (reliability, speed, parity, maintainability, ROI) and recommend phased adoption that protects delivery.
What You Bring
10+ years in QA/automation with 5+ years leading/architecting frameworks. Proven success embedding automated quality gates into CI/CD for high-velocity releases. Track record mentoring engineers and raising the bar on code quality and test design. Comfort collaborating with architects and senior engineers on systemic quality problems.
Nice-To-Have
Experience introducing AI tooling (e.g., Copilot, test-gen, self-healing) into real teams. Performance, security, or contract-testing exposure.
Work Setup & Logistics
Hybrid: Mostly remote; design/whiteboard sessions in Phoenix as needed.
Equipment: Personal laptop required; Windows workstation provided for remote access.
Eligibility: Must be AZ-local and able to work for any U.S. employer (no sponsorship).
Why Join Us?
Real autonomy, minimal red tape. Engineers here actually choose and implement the right tech. If you can justify it, you can ship it-fast. All-local teams, zero offshoring. Your partners sit in the same time zone, so feedback loops are tight and handoffs are clean. Remote after onboarding. Following an initial training period in Phoenix, work remotely with periodic onsite whiteboarding/design sessions. Direct access to decision-makers. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with architects and a hands-on technical management team that co-creates assignments with you-no telephone game. Mandate to simplify & automate. We're actively streamlining the SDLC-across Dev, QA, and DevOps-so you'll lead the push on test frameworks, CI/CD, environment management, and quality gates. Engaged core hours. This isn't a background tab. We expect full engagement during our core business hours so the team can move quickly together.
If you want to lead with ownership, modernize with AI tooling, and see your decisions make it to production without bureaucracy-this is the place.
