Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior Test Architect to lead the design and evolution of our quality engineering and test automation strategy across our SaaS Employee Experience platform. You will act as a technical leader in test architecture, driving automation-first practices, improving system quality at scale, and enabling teams to deliver reliable, high-performing software.

This role operates across multiple engineering teams, defining and standardising testing strategies, frameworks, and tooling. You will work closely with engineers, architects, and DevOps to embed quality throughout the software development lifecycle, with a strong focus on automation, CI/CD integration, and scalable test solutions.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium), strong programming skills (Java, TypeScript, or similar), and hands-on experience with distributed systems, cloud environments (AWS), and modern engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive the overall test architecture and automation strategy across multiple teams and services.
• Design, build, and evolve scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, and modern testing libraries.
• Establish best practices for automated testing across all layers (unit, integration, API, UI, performance, and end-to-end).
• Collaborate with engineering teams to embed testing into the development lifecycle, ensuring high test coverage and fast feedback cycles.
