Full time Posted:
We are seeking a highly accomplished QA Technical Leader with 15+ years of experience  to drive enterprise-wide Quality Engineering, Test Automation, AI Testing, and QA Technical Delivery Excellence across large-scale cloud-native and AI-powered platforms. A working technical QA leader who can code, debug, and build automation alongside the team while also owning delivery, mentorship, and stakeholder communication. Comfortable guiding a team through both traditional test automation and emerging AI testing practices, this person balances day-to-day hands-on contribution with the accountability of leading people and driving release quality.

This role is based in Boston, MA, and candidates must either be local to the area or willing to travel to Boston as needed. The position requires onsite presence with the client several days per week.

This role requires a deeply hands-on technical leader who leads by example — writing code, reviewing frameworks, and guiding teams through complex technical problems — while also owning the people, process, and delivery dimensions of a QA organization. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with practical experience testing AI Agents, LLMs, and AI/ML models, and is equally comfortable mentoring engineers, running technical reviews, and presenting quality risk to senior stakeholders.

The successful candidate will lead a team of QA engineers and automation specialists, set technical direction for automation and AI testing practices, and act as the primary point of accountability for quality across their product or platform area, while partnering closely with Architects, Engineering Leads, and Product Managers.
