**Role & seniority: ** Lead QA Engineer (hands-on, high-influence; quality owner for the platform)

**Stack/tools: ** Playwright, TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines, contract testing for microservices/APIs, AI agents/workflows for test generation & analysis; performance testing tools (unspecified)

**Top 3 responsibilities: **

Own end-to-end QA strategy and quality accountability; set release standards/gates and support go-live decisions.
Build AI-augmented automated testing frameworks from scratch (parallel execution, reporting, scale) with governance/guardrails for AI-generated artifacts.
Design integration/contract testing (API schema compatibility, backward compatibility) and integrate tests + security checks into CI/CD with enforced quality gates.
Must-have skills:
- Strong QA strategy and release readiness practices (shift-left, requirements/architecture reviews, quality gates).
- Hands-on test automation engineering with Playwright + TypeScript; scalable framework design (reuse, reporting).
- Contract/API testing in microservices and ensuring backward compatibility.
- CI/CD test integration and pipeline quality-gate enforcement.
- Performance engineering fundamentals (NFRs/SLAs, baselines, regression prevention).
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience configuring AI agents/workflows for test case generation, coverage analysis, and defect triage; auditability/governance for AI outputs.
- Mentoring/technical leadership in QA and driving quality c

About the Role We are looking for a Lead QA Engineer to own quality across our platform. You will define how we test, build AI-augmented automation from the ground up, and set the release standards that engineering teams rely on. This is a hands-on, high-influence role working closely with Engineering, Product, and Architecture.

What You Will Do

Quality Strategy and Ownership Own the end-to-end QA strategy for the platform and serve as the single point of accountability for quality Drive shift-left practices, including requirements and architecture reviews, to catch risk early Establish quality standards and release gates, and support go-live and production-readiness decisions AI-Augmented Test Automation Build automation frameworks from scratch using Playwright and TypeScript, designed for parallel execution, reporting, and scale Create reusable automation components that engineering teams can adopt easily Configure AI agents and workflows for test case generation, coverage analysis, and defect triage Put guardrails and governance in place so AI-generated test artifacts are reliable, reviewed, and auditable Contract and Integration Testing Design contract testing between microservices and validate API schema compatibility Ensure backward compatibility across releases CI/CD and Quality Gates Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with enforced quality gates Add automated security checks to the pipeline Monitor pipeline health and automation metrics, and act on what they show Performance Engineering Select and implement performance testing tools Define NFRs and SLAs, establish performance baselines, and prevent regressions before release Technical Leadership Mentor engineers on QA best practices and AI-assisted testing Drive adoption of modern testing approaches and share AI learnings across teams Influence engineering standards and strengthen the quality culture
