In this role, you will define and scale our automation strategy, partnering with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to build fast, reliable, and CI/CD-native testing solutions with a strong focus on Playwright and API-first automation. You will act as a technical leader across multiple teams, creating reusable frameworks and shared tooling, modernizing legacy approaches, and mentoring engineers to increase automation adoption and release confidence. You will use metrics, observability, and AI-accelerated solutions to identify inefficiencies, reduce regression time, and enable faster, higher-quality delivery. The ideal candidate is a strong coder and automation architect who thrives on solving systemic quality challenges and elevating how teams build, test, and ship software.
