• Own end-to-end test automation across web and API layers, and integrate it into CI/CD so every release is validated automatically.
• Design and build our QA process from the ground up test strategy, standards, and a scalable automation framework rather than inheriting a mature one.
• Set up quality gates and metrics coverage, defect leakage, regression cycle time and use them to drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with developers, product, and engineering leads to shift testing left — bake testability and acceptance criteria into stories before code is written.
• Mentor and grow a small QA team — code reviews, pairing, coaching — and establish shared standards as we hire.
• Champion quality: Be the QA voice in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, release sign-offs, and root cause reviews for production issues.
• 6–8 years in QA / test automation / SDET roles, with clear progression in scope (e.g. Engineer → Senior → Lead).
• Direct experience scaling a QA function at a product or SaaS company as it grew from a small startup team to a mid-size org — ideally 6+ years at one company through that growth.
• Proven track record of building an automation framework or QA process from scratch (not just extending an existing one), with concrete outcomes — reduced regression time, higher coverage, lower defect leakage.
• Experience leading or mentoring QA engineers, or clear readiness to step into that.
• Strong communication and the ability to work cross-functionally with developers, product, and leadership.
• Strong automation testing skills.
• Hands-on experience in UI automation.
• Experience using AI in test automation.
• Strong manual testing experience.
