We're Looking For a Hands-on Automation Leader To Take Our Retail Software Platforms From Manual Testing To a Fast, Reliable, AI-accelerated Automation Practice. This Person Will Do Three Things Exceptionally Well

• Convert our existing manual test cases into robust, maintainable automation across web and API.
• Lead the automation practice — setting standards, mentoring the QA team, and serving as the technical authority (without direct people-management responsibility).
• Improve the testing process continuously, using AI tools to reduce manual effort, expand coverage, and accelerate releases.

Convert manual test cases into automation (the core of the job)

• Take documented manual test cases, business requirements, and technical specs and turn them into reliable, maintainable automated coverage.
• Design, build, and maintain the automated test framework for web and API testing.
• Develop and maintain functional, regression, and API test suites.
• Validate test data through database queries and backend verification.
• Troubleshoot flaky tests and continuously improve reliability and execution performance.

• Set automation standards and best practices, and drive consistency across the QA team.
• Mentor automation engineers and QA analysts; be the go-to technical expert for automation.
• Deliver documentation and training on tools, framework usage, and test design.
• Participate in sprint planning, development meetings, and defect triage.

• Apply AI tools to accelerate and strengthen the QA process — e.g., AI-assisted test-case authoring, automated script generation, self-healing tests, and coverage analysis.
• Identify bottlenecks in the current testing workflow and drive measurable improvements in speed, coverage, and quality.
• Champion an AI-first mindset within the SQA team and share what works.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and align automation with build and release workflows.
• Support cross-browser testing, parallel execution, and environment configuration.
• Partner with Development, Product, and Support to investigate defects and validate fixes.
• Communicate automation status, risks, and progress to SQA management.
• Assist with manual testing when needed to support release timelines.

These are the non-negotiables. We'll be looking for concrete, “I did this” examples — not theory.

• Converting manual test cases into automation at scale — a demonstrated track record of building or migrating a real automated suite from manual cases.
• Technical leadership — proven experience mentoring engineers, setting standards, and being the automation authority on a team.
• Hands-on use of AI tools to improve QA — real, demonstrable examples of using AI to cut manual effort, expand coverage, or speed up release cycles.
• Strong automation fundamentals — solid framework design across web and API, plus CI/CD integration.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 5+ years of automated testing experience in a professional software environment.
• 3+ years building or significantly…
