📋 Description

• Own the automation framework across the portfolio: structure, conventions, CI integration, scalability • Make tooling and architectural decisions — you set the direction, you're accountable for outcomes • Build new automation foundations on greenfield surfaces; raise the bar on existing ones • Conduct code reviews that set the standard, not just check the box • Define what gets tested, to what depth, and with what trade-offs — across multiple product surfaces simultaneously • Design coverage from requirements: decomposition, edge cases, environments, failure modes — not just automating cases handed to you • Represent QA in sprint planning, architecture reviews, and cross-team syncs • Negotiate scope and timelines with product and engineering when quality risk isn't accounted for • Evaluate and improve QA and SDLC processes — if something is slow or unclear, fix it • Participate in hiring as the team grows — screening candidates, conducting technical interviews, helping shape the bar.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong test automation experience with Playwright and TypeScript • You've built automation infrastructure from scratch and improved inherited systems — you're comfortable with both • You design test coverage rigorously — decomposition, edge cases, environment and data scenarios, failure modes — and can explain why a plan is shaped the way it is • You've made architectural decisions and can defend the reasoning with evidence others can follow • You've made the case to hold a release when quality wasn't there — backed by data, not just conviction • You communicate quality risk directly, without softening it for the room • Your estimates are accurate; when they're not, you say so early and adjust • You've raised the quality of the engineers around you — through reviews, feedback, or direct mentorship.
