GEICO TECH is looking for a Staff Software Engineer – Testing Architect to own the technical vision, design, and implementation of this platform and the tools that enable safe deployments at scale.

You will define and build a scalable automation tool platform that serves both new and legacy tech stack applications with AI and self-healing capabilities at the core and integrates with release and delivery tooling so every deployment is gated on reliable quality signals.

We need a highly skilled engineer who can build and design large-scale tools and frameworks for diverse applications and teams.
AI expertise and hands‑on experience building scalable test automation platforms are required.
Familiarity with safe deployment practices (quality gates, deployment‑aware test results, release evidence) is a must.
Kubernetes and Docker experience is required for designing and operating platform services  with CI/CD pipeline implementation is must.

• Design and build large‑scale tools and frameworks for test automation that work across new and legacy tech stack applications
  , supporting multiple languages and deployment models with a unified execution and reporting approach.
• Build and own scalable tooling for test authoring, execution, orchestration, and reporting at enterprise scale supporting many teams, services, pipelines, and environments.
• Drive consolidation of fragmented tools and approaches into a single platform; define migration paths and paved roads so teams can onboard quickly.
• Integrate the platform with release and delivery systems so test results and quality signals flow into release visibility, gates, and audit enabling safe deployments as the default.

• Lead AI‑assisted testing initiatives
  : test generation from requirements, self‑healing automation, flakiness detection, coverage recommendations, and agent‑based or AI‑driven test authoring.
• Ensure AI capabilities are embedded in the platform (templates, pipelines, frameworks) rather than siloed reducing fragmentation and keeping one clear path for quality.
• Evaluate and adopt industry solutions for AI test generation and self‑healing, and align them with the platform’s standards and frameworks.

• Define and implement safe‑deployment patterns
  : quality gates that consume test results, deployment‑aware test runs (pre/post deploy), and evidence for release decisions, rollback, and compliance.
• Partner with Release Management and Dev Ops to ensure the platform feeds into change gates, CI/CD pipelines, and release workflows so every deployment has a known safety bar.
• Support brownfield and legacy with clear tiers, migration playbooks, and adapters so safe‑deployment coverage improves across new and legacy applications.

• Set technical direction for the Testing Architect domain; produce architecture docs, RFCs, and standards that engineering and QA follow.
• Mentor and grow engineers and test automation engineers on platform patterns, safe deployments, and AI‑assisted testing.
• Collaborate with product, QA, and platform teams to align roadmap, priorities, and success metrics.

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years in test automation, test platforms, or developer tooling at scale.
• Highly skilled in building and designing large‑scale tools and frameworks for new and legacy tech stack applications with proven experience in unified execution, reporting, and orchestration in a large, diverse environment.
• Strong experience building scalable test automation platforms and…
