QA Architect – Quality Strategy and Test Automation Leadership
Location: Remote
Contract Type: B2B
Work Model: Fully Remote, Agile Teams
What You’ll Do
Define & Communicate QA Strategy – Create quality strategies that align with project requirements and architecture.
Design Test Architectures – Build robust, reusable automation frameworks for frontend, backend, API, and end-to-end testing.
Select & Integrate Tools – Choose the right testing tools (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, REST Assured, etc.) and integrate them with CI/CD pipelines.
Collaborate Early – Partner with architects, developers, and product managers to embed quality in design (shift-left).
Create & Review Test Cases – Define test coverage strategies and acceptance criteria; provide feedback on developer-authored test cases.
Enable Developers – Mentor developers to implement effective automated tests and quality gates.
Address Non-Functional Testing – Ensure performance, security, and resilience testing are planned and executed.
Leverage AI in QA – Pilot Agentic AI tools to help define, validate, and automate test cases.
Multi-Project Involvement – Work strategically across several initiatives without owning day-to-day execution.
Drive Continuous Improvement – Measure and evolve QA processes, tooling, and practices.
Required Skills & Experience
7+ years in test automation, QA architecture, or quality engineering.
Hands-on expertise with automation frameworks for web (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium) and API (Postman, REST Assured).
Familiarity with performance testing tools (JMeter, k6).
Strong CI/CD integration skills (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#, Java).
Strong understanding of microservices, distributed systems, and cloud environments (AWS/Azure).
Proven experience designing quality strategies for complex solutions.
Curiosity about the development process — eager to understand how software is designed, implemented, and deployed to ensure quality from the start.
Excellent communication skills for collaborating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Highly Desired Skill: AI-Driven Quality Engineering
Proven ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., LLM-based assistants, test generation frameworks) to enhance QA processes
Define and institutionalize AI-assisted QA methodologies, including guidelines, governance, and evaluation criteria
Apply AI effectively in test strategy design, test planning, and test case generation (functional, integration, and non-functional)
Use AI to accelerate risk analysis, coverage optimization, and defect prediction
Implement and oversee AI-assisted test automation (including self-healing tests, intelligent selectors, and code generation)
Evaluate and integrate AI tooling into the QA ecosystem (CI/CD pipelines, test management, observability)
Ensure quality, traceability, and maintainability of AI-generated artifacts
Soft Skills That Matter Here
Analytical Clarity – Able to read requirements and architecture, then translate them into logical, complete test strategies.
