We're hiring a hands-on quality leader to manage a team and drive our transition to agentic quality engineering, starting now. This role has two equal halves. You'll lead a team of 6-10 Automation Quality Engineers, owning hiring, performance, and career growth. You'll also stay hands-on yourself: someone who came up through AQE or principal engineering, thinks in systems, and has genuinely built with agentic AI, not just adopted AI coding tools.

What you'll own:

• Quality architecture. Frameworks, toolchain, and the roadmap from traditional automation to agentic solutions. You define how quality is built into the system, not bolted on at the end.
• A team of 6-10 AQEs. Mentoring, technical direction, and running hands-on pilots alongside them as the team evolves into the agentic era.
• The existing test automation framework (Java/JS · Selenium · Playwright). Keeping it healthy while evolving it; refactoring what needs it, retiring what doesn't.
• Agentic QE design. Partnering with engineering leaders to co-design deterministic agent workflows and non-deterministic (LLM-assisted) approaches, with clear human-in-the-loop governance where it matters.
• Observability and reporting tooling. Coverage dashboards, flakiness detection, CI quality gates - the visibility layer engineers actually trust.
• Testing AI-powered features. Behavioral validation, non-deterministic regression, and output evaluation for the product's own agentic capabilities.
• Internal tooling. Building tools that make the broader engineering org faster and more quality-conscious, not just the QE team.

What you'll need:

• 7+ years in software engineering, AQE, or SDET with a clear arc toward quality leadership
• 5+ years hands-on with Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, deep enough to design novel solutions, not just configure existing ones
• 3+ years directly managing an AQE or engineering team: hiring, performance, career development, not just technical or coaching leadership
• Strong automation architecture chops: you design frameworks, not just write tests
• Proven experience driving quality initiatives and leading teams through resistance to change
• Have built and shipped agentic testing systems in production, not just adopted AI coding assistants: pipelines with agents in the loop, model output evaluation, and handling non-determinism
• CI/CD integration, shift-left thinking, and quality-by-design fluency
• English B2+
