Remote QA Automation Architect

Role Overview

Are you an automation enthusiast ready to drive excellence in quality engineering? Step into the role of Remote QA Automation Architect and help shape scalable solutions that elevate software performance in a globally distributed environment. You’ll collaborate across departments, architecting robust automation frameworks that meet the demands of modern agile development—all within an inclusive workplace committed to fairness, flexibility, and innovation.

Our organization believes that quality assurance isn’t a support function—it’s a strategic partner to product development. We rely on advanced testing strategies, intelligent tooling, and a quality-first mindset to deliver software experiences that are both reliable and delightful. As our QA Automation Architect, you’ll guide this mission forward, working remotely with global teams in a collaborative environment where your contributions matter.

Key Responsibilities

Automation Strategy and Design

• Define, implement, and evolve scalable automation frameworks for functional, regression, and integration testing.
• Identify gaps in current testing practices and introduce automation improvements aligned with development pipelines.
• Maintain automation architecture documentation and promote adherence to clean code practices across teams.

Collaboration and Leadership

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders—including developers, product managers, DevOps engineers, and UX specialists—to ensure quality is integrated throughout the SDLC.
• Champion a test automation culture within product squads by offering support, training, and architectural guidance.
• Lead architectural reviews of automated testing solutions and drive consensus across distributed teams.

Quality Assurance Governance

• Establish automation standards, KPIs, and guidelines to ensure high-quality delivery at scale.
• Create dashboards and tools that provide real-time visibility into automated test execution and trends.
• Drive efforts to make test results actionable through logs, videos, visual diffs, and performance metrics.

Inclusive Work Environment and Culture

Embracing Diversity

We believe great ideas come from diverse minds. Our team comprises a diverse range of life experiences, from individuals changing careers to those returning after extended breaks or entering the tech industry from unconventional paths. We welcome every person as they are and encourage open collaboration in a space that prioritizes trust and inclusion.

Empowering Journeys

One of our engineers started as a manual tester with no prior experience in automation. With support from our mentorship program and access to on-demand learning resources, they advanced to lead automation efforts for an entire product stream. This reflects our belief that with opportunity and encouragement, remarkable growth is always possible.

A Foundation of Flexibility

We foster a workplace built on mutual trust and respect. Team members are encouraged to set schedules that align with their peak productivity, communicate openly across time zones, and strike a balance between their personal needs and shared goals. Empowerment and respect are at the core of how we work together.

Tools We Use

• Programming Languages: Java, Python, TypeScript
• Test Frameworks: Cypress, Appium, Selenium, Playwright
• Continuous Integration: Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, with containerization using Docker and Kubernetes
• Test Management Tools: Zephyr, TestRail, Allure
• Monitoring & Metrics: Datadog, Grafana, Kibana

Innovation Culture

We encourage every team member to bring fresh ideas to the table. Whether evaluating new tools, piloting integrations, or proposing improvements, you'll have the creative space and support to lead technical experimentation that fuels progress.

Skills and Qualifications

Required Experience

• Minimum of 7 years in quality engineering, with at least 3 years in test automation architecture roles.
• Proficiency in modern object-oriented programming and scripting languages.
• Firm grasp of cloud-native testing strategies, containerized testing environments, and microservices architecture.
• Demonstrated experience leading testing strategy in agile, cross-functional teams.
• Solid understanding of security testing, performance benchmarking, and API validation.

Preferred Skills

• Defined career ladders tailored to automation specialists and QA leaders
• Regular 1:1 coaching with senior architects and engineering managers
• Internal workshops and access to private learning communities

We’re here to offer every team member clear growth paths, individualized guidance, and learning opportunities that inspire continuous development and lasting impact in their careers.

Why This Role Stands Out

As a QA Automation Architect, you’re not just writing tests—you’re influencing product direction, supporting developer velocity, and building digital trust at scale. You’ll work in a place where purpose and people intersect, shaping outcomes for real users with real-world impact.

We foster an equitable recruitment process that honors each applicant’s individuality. We’re committed to hiring practices that promote fairness, access, and inclusion, where your experience, perspective, and drive are genuinely valued.
