  • Transition the testing model toward agent-orchestrated QE where autonomous agents manage test planning, execution, and triage.
  • Translate complex business workflows into scalable automated testing solutions and validation models.
  • Develop automated SDLC pipelines including requirement-to-test generation and PR impact analysis.
  • Establish governance models and quality gates for AI-generated test artifacts and automation outputs.
  • Integrate LLM-based tools and modern automation frameworks into CI/CD pipelines and enterprise platforms.
  • Manage, mentor, and provide technical direction for a team of SDETs.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in Software Development Engineering, Quality Engineering, or related technical disciplines.
  • 2+ years of experience leading automation strategy and/or managing engineering teams.
  • Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Python.
  • Proven experience with test automation frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress.
  • Hands-on experience with AI/GenAI tools.
  • Experience building and integrating APIs and distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with Jira for workflow, defect tracking, and reporting.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent technical training or relevant professional experience.
  • Experience in Healthcare, Medicare, or Sales & Acquisition domain (preferred).
  • Exposure to AI-driven SDLC, agent-based automation frameworks, or self-healing automation (preferred).
