We’re Hiring: Lead QA Automation Engineer - Quality Engineering

? Location: Trivandrum
? Experience: 9–12 Years

This is not a traditional QA leadership role.
We’re looking for a Lead QA Automation Engineer who thinks like a software engineer and is passionate about building quality into mission-critical banking software from the ground up.
In this role, you’ll shape automation architecture, continuous testing, and quality engineering practices for enterprise SaaS platforms operating in complex, regulated environments.

? The Mission
Move quality upstream — using engineering, automation, data, and intelligent tooling to prevent defects rather than simply detect them.

? What You’ll Do
• Define automation and Quality Engineering strategy for complex enterprise banking solutions
• Architect scalable automation frameworks across APIs, backend services, integrations, and E2E workflows
• Embed automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines
• Lead API, database, event-driven, and integration testing
• Establish meaningful engineering metrics around quality, risk, and reliability




• Drive intelligent automation and continuous testing
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Architecture, and Customer Enablement
• Mentor engineers and conduct technical/code reviews
• Improve performance, resilience, scalability, and reliability testing
• Evaluate emerging AI-enabled Quality Engineering approaches that deliver measurable outcomes

? What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for professionals with 9–12 years of experience in software quality/engineering, with deep automation expertise and a proven track record of building automation frameworks—not simply operating them.

Solid experience across:
• Selenium / Playwright / Cypress or comparable frameworks
• API Automation / REST Assured / Postman
• SQL, backend and data validation
• CI/CD and continuous testing
• Azure DevOps / Jenkins / GitHub Actions
• Performance engineering
• Kafka and event-driven architectures
• Cloud-nativ
