QA Lead

We’re looking for a QA Lead to drive quality across our products through test automation and AI.

Working alongside the QA Manager, you’ll lead our automation strategy-from designing and implementing automated tests to integrating them into our CI/CD pipelines. You’ll also serve as the technical bridge between our QA teams in Japan and India, helping establish consistent quality standards and best practices across a global engineering organization.

While the QA Manager focuses on people management and team development, this role is responsible for technical leadership, automation, AI adoption, and cross-border collaboration.

• Lead Test Automation
  • Design and implement end-to-end automated tests using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, or CodeceptJS
  • Select, build, and standardize our test automation framework
  • Integrate automated testing into GitHub Actions and improve our CI/CD testing infrastructure
  • Identify manual testing areas and prioritize automation opportunities
• Apply AI to Quality Engineering
  • Evaluate and introduce AI-powered approaches for test generation, test case design, and defect analysis
  • Integrate AI tools and coding agents into QA workflows to improve productivity and quality
• Drive Global QA Collaboration
  • Align testing and automation strategies across our QA teams in Japan and India
  • Act as the technical bridge between Japanese- and English-speaking team members
  • Build knowledge-sharing and code review practices across multiple locations
• Improve Product Quality
  • Mentor QA engineers through technical guidance and code reviews
  • Identify quality issues across multiple products and propose improvements

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with test automation using one or more of the following: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or CodeceptJS
• Professional experience using AI to improve test automation and software quality
• Experience integrating and maintaining automated tests in CI/CD environments
• Professional experience in software QA and test design
• Business-level English proficiency

• Experience leading the implementation and standardization of a test automation platform
• Experience developing web applications (front-end and/or back-end)
• Experience working in a startup or agile development environment
• Experience collaborating with global teams across different time zones and cultures
• Experience providing technical leadership as a QA Lead or Tech Lead
