Lead QA Automation Engineer

Role Overview

You will build quality into Moon's platform without ever becoming a gate. There is no manual QA sign-off here - teams ship continuously. Your job is the protocols and automation that make that safe: fully automated QA testing in the CI/CD pipeline that protects our customers' businesses from buggy releases and major issues, and protects the platform from downtime. You will be expected to understand the product deeply - an expert on the customer application, as fluent in its workflows as the people who build it.

About the role

•   You will join as the leader of quality for a platform with demanding reliability goals, with a junior QA engineer on your team to mentor and grow.

What you'll do

•   Design and own the protocols for fully automated QA testing in the CI/CD pipeline: critical-flow suites, quality gates, and the low flake rate that keeps them trusted.

•   Protect our customers' businesses from buggy releases and major issues - and the platform from downtime - as your explicit mandate.

•   Put up monitors on the current application and work with DevOps on alerting, observability, and production quality signals.

•   Become an expert on the customer application: know every workflow deeply enough to know what must never break.

•   Build production quality analytics: escaped defects, regressions, and the metrics on every team dashboard.

•   Run user-side QA: triage what real users report into engineering teams with clean reproductions.

•   Mentor and grow the team's junior QA engineer.

Qualifications

•   6+ years in quality/test engineering at companies that ship continuously.

•   Has replaced manual QA gates with automation - and can show the before/after.

•   Writes production-grade test code; thinks in pipelines and invariants, not test plans.

•   Deep product curiosity - learns applications to expert level fast.

•   Calm, rigorous, and outcome-focused.
