About the Role
We're looking for a QA Automation Lead to evolve our client's QA function from a heavily manual model toward a scalable, risk-based automation approach - while maintaining oversight of existing manual processes.

This is a hands-on role (approximately 60% hands-on), leading a team of 4 QA engineers. The current stack uses TypeScript, WebdriverIO, and Appium, but automation maturity is still early, and the team relies significantly on manual testing today.

The primary product is a mobile banking app, so the role is heavily mobile-focused (iOS/Android), with an emphasis on end-to-end user journey testing and strong judgment around building an effective testing pyramid across mobile, UI, API, and manual layers.
