As a Lead Automation QA Engineer, you will champion world-class software quality by architecting and executing advanced, hands-on automation across complex business workflows. Though you may provide strategy and mentorship, your core focus will be as a technical individual contributor running sophisticated, E2E test automation—including data, API, mobile, and cross-platform business process validations spanning the full Lead-to-Cash cycle (Salesforce, Implementation, and NetSuite). You’ll also adopt AI-based test automation, including LLM and RAG system validations.

- DevOps Integration:
- Integrate automated E2E and component tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.
QA Leadership:
- Mentor team members in test strategy for multi-system, E2E automation.
- Review test plans and ensure adoption of QA best practices for cross-platform business process validation.
