We're looking for an engineer-first quality leader. Someone who came up through AQE or principal engineering, thinks in systems, and is genuinely excited about what agentic AI means for quality.

You'll lead a team of 6-10 Automation Quality Engineers, own our existing automation estate, and drive a deliberate transition toward agentic quality engineering. Deterministic pipelines today, autonomous test agents tomorrow.

What you'll own:

• Quality architecture. Frameworks, toolchain, and the roadmap from traditional automation to agentic solutions. You define how quality is built into the system, not bolted on at the end.
• A team of 6-10 AQEs. Mentoring, technical direction, and running hands-on pilots alongside them as the team evolves into the agentic era.
• The existing test automation framework (Java/JS · Selenium · Playwright). Keeping it healthy while evolving it; refactoring what needs it, retiring what doesn't.
• Agentic QE design. Partnering with engineering leaders to co-design deterministic agent workflows and non-deterministic (LLM-assisted) approaches, with clear human-in-the-loop governance where it matters.
• Observability and reporting tooling. Coverage dashboards, flakiness detection, CI quality gates - the visibility layer engineers actually trust.
• Testing AI-powered features. Behavioral validation, non-deterministic regression, and output evaluation for the product's own agentic capabilities.
• Internal tooling. Building tools that make the broader engineering org faster and more quality-conscious, not just the QE team.

What you'll need:

• 7+ years in software engineering, AQE, or SDET with a clear arc toward quality leadership
• 5+ years hands-on with Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript, deep enough to design novel solutions, not just configure existing ones
• 3+ years leading AQE or engineering teams hands-on, running pilots, driving adoption, and getting their hands dirty alongside the team
• Strong automation architecture chops: you design frameworks, not just write tests
• Proven experience driving quality initiatives and change management across engineering teams
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted testing tools in production
• Familiarity with agentic/LLM concepts: evaluating model outputs, handling non-determinism, and agent orchestration patterns
• CI/CD integration, shift-left thinking, and quality-by-design fluency
• English B2+

The right person for this role doesn't come from QA management. They come from engineering. They've been the de-facto quality authority on their team before having the title. They can whiteboard quality architecture with platform engineers, drive an agentic pilot with their team the next day, and review a PR the day after that.

If quality in the agentic era is what gets you out of bed, let's talk.
