Test automation Lead

Job Summary

You will lead the migration of our legacy Testim suite to Playwright and scale our AI-based orchestration process. You will work closely with the current migration owner, set standards, guide the Automation Testers, and make sure migrated tests are reliable, maintainable, and meaningful rather than just ported one-to-one.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end migration roadmap: prioritize the test cases by risk, business criticality, flakiness, and redundancy.

• Refine and scale the AI-assisted migration workflow (prompt patterns, orchestration steps, review gates, and reusable templates).

• Define and enforce the quality bar for migrated tests, including a definition of done, a code review checklist, and validation that each migrated test still covers the original intent.

• Make migrate, rewrite, or retire decisions on legacy tests, and drive the removal of duplicates and obsolete cases.

• Strengthen the Playwright framework: page objects and fixtures, test data management, parallelization, reporting, and CI/CD integration.

• Track and report migration metrics (completion %, velocity, pass rate, flake rate, defects caught) to stakeholders weekly.

• Mentor Automation Testers and the existing team on Playwright best practices and effective, responsible use of AI tools.

• Identify risks and blockers early (dependencies, environment issues, knowledge gaps) and escalate with proposed solutions.

• Ensure knowledge is documented so migration does not depend on a single person.

  Required qualifications

• 8+ years in QA/test automation, with 2+ years in a lead or senior role.

• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript or JavaScript preferred), including fixtures, network mocking, auth handling, and parallel execution.

• Proven experience migrating or modernizing automation suites (Testim, Selenium, Cypress, or similar).

• Demonstrated practical use of AI tools (LLMs, coding assistants, agentic workflows) for test generation, refactoring, or migration, with the judgment to validate the output.

• Solid CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar).

• Strong grasp of test design, risk-based testing, and the test pyramid.

• Excellent communication skills, able to work with QA, developers, and management.

  Preferred qualifications

• Prior experience with Testim.

• API test automation and experience with visual or accessibility testing.

• Experience building metrics dashboards for test health.

• Familiarity with prompt engineering and building repeatable AI workflows.
