Senior QA Automation Engineer
Description:
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who treats AI as a core part of their craft — using coding agents, LLMs, and evaluation frameworks to scale quality faster than headcount.
You will design and build the automation, evaluation, and quality foundations that enable engineers to own quality, while ensuring our products remain reliable, explainable, and trusted — even as they become increasingly probabilistic.
You will work closely with software engineers, data scientists, product managers, and SRE to embed quality into every stage of the development lifecycle.
What you will do Design and build AI-augmented automation systems
- Build and evolve scalable automation frameworks across web UI, APIs, and data pipelines (Playwright / TypeScript)
- Use AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code) to generate, refactor, and maintain test suites at scale
- Translate natural-language acceptance criteria into executable, maintainable tests
- Define reusable testing patterns that enable engineers to own automation within their domains
- Continuously reduce flakiness using trace analysis, observability, and AI-assisted failure triage
Enable shift-left, engineering-led quality
- Partner with engineers to embed testing early in the development lifecycle
- Define pragmatic, risk-based test strategies across unit, integration, contract, and E2E layers
- Establish clear definitions of done, quality gates, and release readiness standards
- Build tooling and frameworks that allow teams to move fast without relying on central QA
