SDET / QA Automation Lead

About the Product

We build an ITSM / ITAM solution available as both SaaS and on-premise. Engineering team of ~30 engineers, with a mix of legacy components and newer .NET-based services.

Automation exists, but a significant part of regression testing is still manual — slowing down releases. This role is key to changing that.

• Own the test automation approach and evolve it into a structured, scalable system
• Improve reliability of existing automation, expand coverage, introduce 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.
