Job details:
We’re Hiring: Lead QA Automation Engineer - Quality Engineering
📍 Location: Trivandrum
💼 Experience: 9–12 Years
This is not a traditional QA leadership role.
We’re looking for a Lead QA Automation Engineer who thinks like a software engineer and is passionate about building quality into mission-critical banking software from the ground up.
In this role, you’ll shape automation architecture, continuous testing, and quality engineering practices for enterprise SaaS platforms operating in complex, regulated environments.
🎯 The Mission
Move quality upstream — using engineering, automation, data, and intelligent tooling to prevent defects rather than simply detect them.
🔧 What You’ll Do
• Define automation and Quality Engineering strategy for complex enterprise banking solutions
• Architect scalable automation frameworks across APIs, backend services, integrations, and E2E workflows
• Embed automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines
• Lead API, database, event-driven, and integration testing
• Establish meaningful engineering metrics around quality, risk, and reliability
• Drive intelligent automation and continuous testing
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Architecture, and Customer Enablement
• Mentor engineers and conduct technical/code reviews
• Improve performance, resilience, scalability, and reliability testing
• Evaluate emerging AI-enabled Quality Engineering approaches that deliver measurable outcomes
🧠 What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for professionals with 9–12 years of experience in software quality/engineering, with deep automation expertise and a proven track record of building automation frameworks—not simply operating them.
Strong experience across:
• Selenium / Playwright / Cypress or comparable frameworks
• API Automation / REST Assured / Postman
• SQL, backend and data validation
• CI/CD and continuous testing
• Azure DevOps / Jenkins / GitHub Actions
• Performance engineering
• Kafka and event-driven architectures
• Cloud-native applications, ideally Azure / Kubernetes
🏦 Banking & Consulting Experience
We are particularly interested in candidates with exposure to banking transformation and financial services technology.
Preferred candidates will have:
• Experience working within dedicated Banking / Financial Services transformation practices
• Relevant implementation, technology consulting, or transformation experience within banking
• Experience delivering technology solutions for complex, regulated financial institutions
• Strong understanding of banking platforms, enterprise integrations, and transformation programs
💼 Preferred Consulting Background
For this technology role, we will prioritize candidates from Big 4 consulting firms, including:
Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG
We will also consider candidates from other leading consulting firms and large system integrators with strong banking and financial services transformation practices.
🎓 Education
• Graduates from Tier-1 or Tier-2 institutions in India
• Strong foundation in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or related engineering disciplines
• Evidence of strong engineering fundamentals and sustained technical performance is preferred
🌟 Preferred Industry Background
We’d especially like to hear from engineers with experience in:
• Global product companies
• Fintech and banking technology organizations
• Banking GCC engineering teams
• High-growth SaaS companies
• Big 4 consulting firms
• Leading technology consulting and system integration organizations
• Engineering environments such as Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Atlassian, Intuit, Red Hat, Nutanix, and comparable organizations
💡 What Sets This Role Apart
The strongest candidates will be software engineers who happen to specialize in quality.
You’ll have the opportunity to influence architecture, engineering practices, automation strategy, developer productivity, and product reliability—not just testing.
If building scalable automation, engineering quality into software, and solving complex banking technology and reliability challenges excites you, we’d love to hear from you.
