Company Description
VidyaMohan Software Solutions, based in Pune, India, builds outstanding software for its clients while developing the engineers who build it. We run on four things: honesty, sincerity, hard work, and ownership. We keep teams small, senior, and empowered, and we care as much about how work gets done as about what gets shipped.

Role Description
This is a contract role for a Senior Principal Quality Assurance Engineer / Quality Assurance Architect, working with a US-based product company operating in a regulated, data-sensitive domain. It is a hands-on architect role, not a management or manual-testing role. You will own the quality and automation strategy end to end, extend an existing automation foundation, and — most importantly — design and build automation for complex, event-driven scenarios that go well beyond typical request-response API testing.
This is a remote role with work-from-home flexibility, and requires a daily overlap with US Eastern working hours.

What you'll own
Automation-first, always. We are not looking for a manual tester.



You may manually test a recent feature once to understand its behaviour, but in the same sprint you raise the backlog story to automate it. Automation is not a "later" activity here; it is how we work. If your instinct is to defer automation to a "hardening sprint," this role is not for you.
Design automation for event-driven systems. Our current framework handles typical API endpoints well (built on Playwright). The harder, unsolved work is automating asynchronous, event-driven flows — where a message is published to a queue or topic, one or more services consume it, and the correct outcome only appears after several steps and some delay. You will design and build the framework for this: producing and consuming events, asserting on eventually-consistent state, correlating events across services, and managing test data cleanly.
Use data as a first-class testing tool. We have a large data estate. You must be
