The Impact

Lead the quality platform behind mission-critical software at Client. 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.
