Automation Team Lead

About the role Commit builds software products for clients across embedded, IoT, SaaS, AI/ML, e-commerce, mobile, banking and web. We’re looking for an Automation QA Team Lead to own quality engineering for a product team and lead our shift to AI-first QA. You’ll set the test strategy, lead a team of QA engineers, and stay hands-on building automation — with AI woven into how tests are designed, authored, and maintained. This is a role for someone who pairs deep automation craft with modern AI tooling and can translate requirements into test documentation that both people and AI agents can execute. What you’ll do • Own the QA strategy and test architecture for full stack web applications, end to end. • Lead and mentor a team of QA engineers — reviews, standards, and delivery quality. • Stay hands-on: design and build automated E2E and regression suites with Playwright. • Drive AI-first QA practices — AI-assisted test authoring, self-healing suites, and AI-driven test generation from requirements. • Author Software Test Documents (STDs), test plans, and test cases structured for AI-driven execution. • Partner with developers and clients (including large enterprise and banking environments) to embed quality across the delivery lifecycle. Must-have qualifications • 7+ years in QA / test automation. • 3+ years as a QA team lead / manager (hands-on people leadership). • 1+ years AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor ant etc. • Expert-level automation with Playwright (a must). • Deep, hands-on fluency with modern browsers and their dev tools (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit). • Proven experience applying AI tools to QA beyond Playwright — for example: AI-assisted test authoring (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code), self-healing / autonomous E2E (mabl, Testim, or Katalon), and AI visual validation (Applitools). • Experience writing STDs and test plans suitable for AI-driven testing. • Fluent with modern dev tooling: Git, JIRA, Jenkins. • Professional-level English. • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Nice to have • Additional automation frameworks and languages (e.g. Cypress, Selenium, TypeScript/Python). • Performance, API, or security testing experience. • Experience working in large organizations (e.g. banking / financial services).
