Regression Test Architect Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Lead Test Automation Architectto define and lead an enterprise-gradetest automation strategyacross UI, API, data, and platform layers-while evolving our quality engineering capabilities to supportAgentic AI / LLM-based systems(probabilistic outputs, confidence-based validation, hallucination detection, and model evaluation). This role will architect scalable automation frameworks, drive engineering excellence, and accelerate delivery through highly productive, maintainable automation programs.Key ResponsibilitiesAutomation Strategy & Architecture

• Define and own thetest automation architecture and multi-layer strategy(UI/API/contract/integration/e2e), aligned to product risk and release cadence.
• Establish automationstandards, patterns, and reference implementations(framework structure, page-object/screenplay usage, test data patterns, reporting).
• Driveshift-left testingpractices (contract testing, component testing, pre-merge validation) and reduce reliance on fragile end-to-end tests.

Agentic AI / LLM Test Model Alignment

• Design and implement testing approaches fornon-deterministic AI outputs, including:
  • confidence/threshold-based assertions
  • semantic similarity checks and rubric-based validation
  • goldens/benchmark datasets and evaluation harnesses
  • hallucination and groundedness testing strategies
  • regression detection across model/prompt/version changes
• Define AI test coverage acrossaccuracy, robustness, bias/safety (as applicable), performance, and reliability.
• Partner with ML/AI, Product, and Engineering to establishacceptance criteriafor AI capabilities and measurable quality gates.

High-Productivity Automation Programs

• Build and scalehigh-throughput automation projectsthat are reliable, fast, and easy to extend.
• Improvetest execution time, reduce flaky tests, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (parallelization, test selection, retries with guardrails).
• Create actionable, engineering-friendlyquality dashboards(pass/fail trends, flake rate, coverage, defect escape metrics).

Tooling, CI/CD, and Quality Gates

• Integrate automation into CI/CD withquality gates(PR checks, nightly suites, release readiness criteria).
• Standardizeobservability for testing: logs, tracing hooks, screenshots/video, artifacts, and test run diagnostics.
• Define practices fortest environments, data management, service virtualization, and dependency control.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Serve as the QE technical authority: coach engineers on automation design, code quality, and best practices.
• Lead design reviews for test architecture and automation PRs; enforce coding standards and maintainability.
• Influence roadmap and delivery by translating risk into clear testing priorities.

Required Qualifications

• 8-12+ yearsin Quality Engineering / Test Automation witharchitect-level ownershipof frameworks and strategy.
• Proven experience designing scalable automation across:
  • API testing(contract + integration)
  • UI automationwith stable locator strategies (test IDs, accessibility roles)
  • Test datastrategy and environment reliability
• Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (e.g.,Java, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#).
• Expertise with automation tools/frameworks (examples):
  • UI: Playwright / Cypress / Selenium
  • API: REST-assured / SuperTest / Postman/Newman / pytest
  • CI: GitHub Actions / Jenkins / Azure DevOps
• Demonstrated ability to reduce flakiness and improve execution speed throughengineering solutions.

Preferred Qualifications (Strongly Desired)

• Experience testingLLM/Agentic AIfeatures or other probabilistic systems, including:
  • evaluation harnesses, benchmark datasets, semantic scoring, and drift detection
  • prompt/version regression strategies and structured evaluation reports
• Familiarity with modern quality approaches:test pyramid,contract testing,consumer-driven contracts,risk-based testing,shift-left.
• Knowledge of security/performance testing integration (baseline understanding; hands-on is a plus).
• Experience building reusable automation libraries for multiple teams/products.
