Software QA Lead

Hiring for Cotecna Inspection — via Flexiple, the recruiting partner on this role.

About Company

Cotecna is a global provider of testing, inspection and certification services. Its digital products support customer portals, field inspection, laboratories, compliance records, certificates, document workflows and operational teams across high-stakes global supply chains. The company is strengthening the quality-engineering foundations behind these applications.

Job Roles & Responsibilities

• Own the automation strategy while remaining hands-on with framework design, test development, debugging and execution across Cotecna's digital products.
• Build and evolve maintainable automation frameworks for web and API journeys; framework choice is flexible when the architecture and ownership evidence are strong.
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines and establish reliable quality gates, reporting, triage and release-readiness criteria.
• Lead and mentor QA engineers, define standards and review practices, and improve coverage, speed, maintainability and production quality.
• Partner with product, engineering and business stakeholders on risk-based testing, defect prevention, go/no-go decisions and post-release improvement.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Six to ten years of QA or quality-engineering experience, including at least five years of recent hands-on automation and continued coding or framework work.
• Demonstrable ownership of an automation framework built from scratch or substantially architected; scripting only inside somebody else's framework is insufficient.
• Hands-on web automation using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or an equivalent, plus API automation using Rest Assured, Postman, Karate or an equivalent.
• Personal ownership of integrating automated suites into Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps or a comparable delivery pipeline.
• Evidence of leading or owning QA for a team, including mentoring, standards and release or production-readiness decisions; quantified team size is preferred.
• Mobile automation, performance or security-aware testing, cloud or containers, and regulated or document-heavy systems are useful differentiators.
