    We are looking for a Lead QA Automation Engineer with strong Python expertise and hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering practices to join our engineering team. In this role, you will combine advanced test automation skills with a modern approach to AI-assisted software quality engineering, taking ownership of QA initiatives and driving improvements across the testing lifecycle.

    You will work with LLMs and AI-assisted workflows to decompose complex QA tasks, create and manage engineering artifacts, improve test design and automation efficiency, and critically evaluate AI-generated output. At the same time, you will apply strong engineering judgment to build reliable automation solutions and continuously improve QA practices.

    Responsibilities

    • Design, develop, and maintain automated tests for user-facing and back-office applications using Python and Pytest

    • Develop and maintain UI and REST API automation, expanding automated coverage across different layers of the application

    • Apply AI-assisted engineering practices to test analysis, scenario design, automation development, documentation, and other QA activities

    • Decompose complex QA and engineering tasks into clear, structured steps suitable for AI-assisted workflows

    • Create, use, and manage relevant artifacts as part of AI-assisted development and testing processes

    • Analyze requirements, identify gaps and ambiguities, and translate them into clear, testable scenarios

    • Apply Specification-Driven Development (SDD) principles and recognize common AI-assisted engineering anti-patterns

    • Critically evaluate AI-generated output and validate its correctness, quality, and applicability

    • Work with databases, perform SQL queries, and validate data programmatically

    • Contribute to non-functional testing and broader QA automation initiatives

    • Review and improve existing QA frameworks, processes, and automation practices

    • Collaborate closely with developers, engineers, and stakeholders to introduce effective and sustainable QA approaches

    • Take ownership of QA initiatives, proactively identify improvement opportunities, and drive them through implementation

    Requirements

    • Strong commercial experience with Python and test automation

    • Solid hands-on experience with Pytest, Pydantic, and Requests

    • Strong experience with UI automation, including Page Object Model, CSS selectors, and XPath

    • Experience with REST API testing and Allure

    • Practical understanding of modern LLMs, including their capabilities, limitations, and guardrails

    • Experience applying AI tools in software engineering or QA workflows

    • Understanding of how to structure and decompose tasks for effective AI-assisted execution

    • Ability to critically assess AI-generated code, test scenarios, documentation, and other artifacts

    • Understanding of Specification-Driven Development (SDD) and common AI-assisted engineering anti-patterns

    • Basic knowledge of SQL and relational databases

    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively with incomplete or evolving requirements

    • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive improvements constructively and handle different perspectives

    • High level of ownership, initiative, and ability to work independently

    Nice to have

    • Experience with Faker, Locust, Allure TestOps, MySQL, or PostgreSQL

    • Experience introducing or improving QA practices and automation frameworks within an established engineering environment

    • Experience with performance or load testing

    • Experience applying AI-assisted approaches to software quality engineering
