BAXTER PLANNING
Director of Quality
QA Strategy & Test Automation — Technology
Department Technology — Baxter Planning
Reports To Chief Technology Officer
Team QA Manager, QA engineers, test automation engineers
Location Pune, India
Employment Type FTE
About the Role
This Role owns quality across all of Baxter Planning’s products — not as a downstream gate, but as an engineered, largely automated discipline built into the SDLC. Given Baxter’s legacy defect backlog and the current absence of automated regression coverage, this role is central to derisking the company’s modernization effort and enabling confident, rapid delivery. We're looking for a Director of Quality who will leverage AI-assisted testing and quality tooling aggressively — test generation, mutation testing, visual regression, production anomaly detection — rather than scaling quality through headcount alone.
Context: Baxter Planning is a PE-backed (Marlin Equity) service supply chain planning SaaS company.
Key Responsibilities




Own quality strategy and automated test architecture across Prophet (legacy Java 8/SOAP/4GL), Lynx, AI Agents, Data Platform, and Analytics.
Build and scale automated regression coverage where none exists today, prioritized by risk and customer impact.
Evaluate and adopt AI-assisted quality tooling — AI-driven test generation, self-healing test suites, mutation testing, visual/UI regression, log- and production-anomaly-based quality signals — to multiply team capacity rather than scaling headcount linearly.
Define and own quality gates in CI/CD, partnering with the Development leaders/Director of IT/DevOps & Security to embed automated checks directly into the deployment pipeline.
Partner with Product Engineering directors and Architecture to shift quality left — testability as a design requirement, not an afterthought.
Own quality metrics and reporting (defect escape rate, coverage, MTTR on quality issues, regression suite health) as an ongoing operating discipline.
