SDET / QA Automation Lead

About the Product and Environment

• We build an ITSM / ITAM solution offered both as a SaaS platform and an on-premise deployment.
• Our engineering team is around 30 people, and our system is a mix of legacy components and newer services as we continue modernizing toward a .NET-based architecture.
• Today, our testing approach includes some automation, but it is not yet where we want it to be. A significant portion of regression testing is still manual, which slows down release cycles.
• This role is key to improving that — helping us expand and stabilize our automation so we can ship faster and with more confidence.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of our test automation approach and evolve it into a more structured, scalable system.
• Build on existing automation by improving reliability, expanding coverage, and introducing clear patterns and best practices.
• Increase automated coverage of critical user journeys.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Work closely with the QA team and support their transition toward automation.

Tech Stack and Tools

• Platform: .NET.
• Automation framework: Playwright, TypeScript.
• AI-assisted development: GitHub Copilot and similar.

Team Collaboration and Mentorship

• You'll work closely with our QA team, which is currently more focused on manual testing.
• Part of your role will be to support the team in growing their automation skills — through collaboration, code reviews, and sharing best practices.
• This is a hands-on role where you lead by example rather than through formal management responsibilities.

Must-have: 

• Experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks 
• Solid coding skills (TypeScript or similar) 
• Ability to work hands-on in an environment where automation is still developing 

Important: 

• Experience with Playwright, or willingness to adopt it as the primary tool 
• Comfort working with AI-assisted development tools 

Nice-to-have: 

• Experience mentoring QA engineers transitioning into automation 

What success looks like 

In your first months, you will: 

• Establish a clearer structure and direction for test automation 
• Improve coverage of critical user flows 
• Reduce the time and effort required for regression testing 
• Help QA team members grow their automation capabilities 

• Fully remote, 40-hour work week without overtime. Flexible schedule.
• Competitive salary with regular reviews.
• Service contract agreement, work from any country.
• Education budget — courses, conferences, and training are covered.
• We're looking for someone for the long term — a person who wants to build a serious product, not just complete tasks.
