• Recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing QA team
• Embed QA into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and related tooling

• 6–8+ years in QA with strong expertise in Playwright
• 3–4+ years of people leadership experience
• Proven ability to automate functional UI and API test cases
• Hands‑on with QA tools (Playwright, Cypress, PyTest, Postman)
• Experience scaling test automation and maintaining reliability
• Highly motivated, driven, and ownership‑oriented

Nice‑to‑Have
