We are seeking a Lead Quality Engineer to define and own the quality vision and automation architecture across web platforms, using Playwright and JavaScript as core tools.
This role goes far beyond test implementation: the Lead QE sets organization-wide quality standards, shapes long-term automation strategy, builds and grows QE teams, and ensures quality scales seamlessly with platform and business complexity.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the long-term end-to-end automation strategy and vision using Playwright and JavaScript across multiple teams and platforms
- Establish automation architecture, frameworks, patterns, and best practices adopted organization-wide
- Ensure scalable, maintainable, and high-performing test ecosystems that support rapid growth
- Champion and institutionalize shift-left testing practices and define quality gates as standards within CI/CD pipelines
- Oversee the strategy for UI, API, and integration testing across products and domains
- Architect test strategies for complex, cross-system user journeys and third-party integrations
- Define standards for test data management and environment orchestration across environments and teams
- Drive coverage of non-functional requirements (reliability, usability, performance, security awareness) at a platform level
- Set the bar for automation code quality: lead reviews, eliminate flaky tests, and continuously improve execution reliability across the org
- Establish observability, reporting, and quality metrics frameworks that inform leadership decisions
- Partner with engineering leadership on testability and design-for-quality; mentor, coach, and grow Senior, Mid-level, and Junior Quality Engineers, and build hiring and development pipelines
- Act as the top quality authority across teams, influencing platform, architectural, and product decisions, and fostering a company-wide culture of quality ownership
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Delivery leadership on release readiness, risk management, and roadmap planning
- Proactively identify systemic quality risks, define mitigation strategies, lead root-cause analysis of critical production incidents, and continuously evolve quality processes, tooling, and organizational practices
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Quality Engineering or Test Automation
- At least 1 year of relevant leadership experience
- Deep hands-on expertise in Playwright at scale and Selenium, with a track record of building automation frameworks from the ground up
- Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript
- Strong understanding of frontend and backend architectures, including distributed systems
- Extensive background in testing REST APIs
- Deep experience designing and integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines at scale
- Expert knowledge of test architecture, test data strategy, and environment management
- Proven leadership, mentoring, and team-building skills
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience influencing senior leadership
