Description

  • Define and drive the QA automation strategy, including framework quality, test coverage, and automation maturity.
  • Lead, mentor, and support a team of QA engineers while contributing hands-on technical work.
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable UI and end-to-end automation frameworks.
  • Improve automated test execution within CI/CD pipelines to provide fast and reliable feedback.
  • Drive a risk-based testing approach and make prioritisation and coverage trade-off decisions.
  • Shape a balanced testing strategy across UI, mobile, API/service-level, and manual testing layers.
  • Lead end-to-end testing efforts across iOS and Android mobile applications and backend services.
  • Manage bug tracking, triage, failure analysis, and quality reporting.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product, and platform teams to improve testability and quality standards.
  • Support continuous improvement of QA processes, tooling, and non-functional testing practices such as performance, load, and security.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in QA or test automation, delivering automation in production environments.
  • Experience in a QA leadership or mentoring role with responsibility for guiding engineers and shaping QA direction.
  • Proven ability to define and evolve automation strategy, not just implement individual tests.
  • Strong foundation in manual QA, including exploratory and regression testing, with sound judgment on what should and should not be automated.
  • Experience designing, building, or improving UI and end-to-end automation frameworks.
  • Experience with modern UI automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or WebdriverIO.
  • Experience with mobile testing and/or automation for iOS/Android, ideally in business-critical environments.
  • Strong understanding of risk-based testing, test pyramid principles, and how to optimise coverage, speed, and confidence.
  • Ability to lead a team of approximately 4 engineers while remaining hands-on and technically credible.
  • Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience with defect management, bug triage, and QA reporting.
  • Strong collaboration skills with engineering, product, and platform teams.
  • Familiarity with automation languages such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, or Kotlin, with TypeScript preferred.
  • Experience working in modern product engineering environments with evolving systems and priorities.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to operate in complex environments.
  • Experience with mobile automation tools such as Appium, BrowserStack, XCUITest, or Espresso.
  • Experience with WebdriverIO or similar frameworks in TypeScript-based environments.
  • Exposure to performance, load, or other non-functional testing practices.
  • Familiarity with security-focused testing practices.
  • Experience in regulated or high-reliability environments such as fintech or banking.
  • Broader experience across backend or service-level testing strategy beyond UI automation.

Benefits

  • Remote, full-time role with a globally distributed team.
  • Long-term employment with a focus on meaningful, stable work.
  • A genuine remote-first culture with community and support from day one.
  • Opportunity to join one of the highest-rated workplaces on Glassdoor.
  • A workplace that values growth, personal development, and well-being.
  • Supportive culture that emphasizes integrity, excellence, and ambition.
