Full job description

Lead QA Engineer (Automation-Focused)

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead QA Engineer with deep automation expertise to own and advance the quality strategy for our custom-built back-office platform that spans all phases of the mortgage lifecycle. You will design end-to-end automation across web UI, API, and data layers, embed testing into our CI/CD pipelines, and act as the technical authority on test quality. Automation is the core of the role, but not the whole of it: you will also perform exploratory and manual testing where automation does not yet reach, and help cover quality gaps wherever they appear.

What You Will Do

Design, build, and own end-to-end automated test suites and the framework behind them (page objects, fixtures, deterministic seed/cleanup, reusable helpers) for our web application using Playwright (TypeScript).
Develop API-level and integration tests that validate business rules, the deal lifecycle, document workflows, and reporting outputs.
Integrate automated suites into our CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines) so tests run reliably on every pull request and deployment.
Define the test strategy across the pyramid and partner with engineers on PHPUnit coverage so unit, integration, and E2E layers complement each other.
Diagnose and fix flaky tests and environment failures through root-cause analysis, and perform exploratory and manual testing where automation does not yet reach.
Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate test authoring, data generation, and failure triage, while critically reviewing everything they produce.
Mentor developers and junior QA on writing maintainable tests, and contribute to release readiness, quality gates, and regression planning.

What You Bring

Required

5+ years in software quality engineering, with a strong focus on test automation balanced by solid manual and exploratory testing skills.
Deep, hands-on expertise with a modern E2E automation framework (Playwright strongly preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or WebdriverIO transfers) and strong TypeScript or JavaScript.
Proven experience designing automation frameworks from the ground up, not just authoring tests inside someone else's framework.
Solid REST API testing and strong SQL skills for validating behaviour directly against a relational database (MySQL preferred).
Hands-on experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).
Enough infrastructure and architecture experience to be self-sufficient: you stand up and maintain your own test environments, runners, and pipelines without depending on DevOps or developers.
Hands-on experience using AI tools (for example GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude) in day-to-day engineering work, with sound judgment about where their output must be verified.
A pragmatic, evidence-first attitude: automation-led, but willing to roll up your sleeves for manual testing to keep quality moving, and you do not declare something fixed until you have proven it.

Preferred / Nice to Have

Experience testing PHP applications, ideally CakePHP, and familiarity with PHPUnit.
Experience in fintech, lending, mortgage, banking, or another regulated, financially sensitive domain.
Familiarity with role-based access control (RBAC) and permission testing.
Experience testing document-heavy or workflow-driven systems (PDF artifacts, file storage on cloud infrastructure such as AWS).

What Success Looks Like

A stable, fast, trustworthy automated regression suite that engineers rely on for every release, with flaky tests the rare exception.
Quality signals visible in CI on every pull request, with clear gates that prevent regressions from reaching production.
The wider team writes better tests because of the patterns, tooling, and mentorship you provide.

Pay: $110,000.00-$120,000.00 per year
