The opportunity:

We're looking for a Principal QA Automation Engineer to be the most senior technical authority for test automation across our engineering teams. This is a role for someone who lives and breathes automation—you've architected frameworks from scratch, solved problems at scale, and shaped how entire teams approach automated testing.

You're deeply proficient in Playwright and TypeScript, but your knowledge goes well beyond a single framework. You understand the full engineering ecosystem—front-end, back-end, infrastructure, CI/CD—and you use that breadth to design automation solutions that genuinely fit the architecture they're testing. You think about maintainability, reliability, and developer experience as much as test coverage.

You're also shaping how we use AI in automation. Not just using copilots and code assistants—but defining how AI fits into our automation strategy, evaluating emerging tools, and setting the standard for how the wider team adopts them.

You lead through expertise and influence. You mentor leads and senior engineers, define company-wide automation standards, and bring a consultative mindset to complex engagements. You're comfortable representing automation at the highest level—whether that's advising a client on strategy or steering technical direction across multiple accounts.
