Role Overview:

We are looking for a passionate and experienced QA Architect to lead the design and implementation of robust, scalable, and high-quality automation frameworks. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in test automation, hands-on coding, and a strong inclination towards AI-driven testing approaches.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define, design, and implement automation strategies and test frameworks across multiple projects.

• Develop and maintain robust automation frameworks using Python (mandatory) and at least one other language (Java/C# preferred).

• Lead the evaluation and adoption of automation tools such as Selenium (mandatory), Playwright, Cypress, or Tosca.

• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing and faster delivery cycles.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to QA teams across projects.

• Work closely with product and development teams to embed QA best practices early in the development lifecycle.

• Leverage or explore AI/ML-based testing tools and methodologies; prior experience testing AI models or using AI to enhance testing processes is a plus.

• Solid hands-on experience in developing automation frameworks (at least 2–3 frameworks built from scratch).

• Proficiency in Selenium is mandatory; working experience with tools like Playwright, Cypress, or Tosca is highly desirable.

• Experience in testing RESTful APIs and performing SQL/database testing.

• Hands-on experience with at least two programming/scripting languages (Python, Java, C#, etc.).

• Exposure to or experience with AI in testing—either in testing AI systems or using AI to optimize testing.

• Strong understanding of modern testing strategies, including shift-left, shift-right, and test data management.

• Ability to code independently and mentor teams in automation best practices.
