Infotech® is seeking an Associate Director of QA Automation to be a hands-on technical leader of the QA Engineering team.
Who we are looking for
As the Associate Director of QA Automation, you will be responsible for driving the overall strategy, architecture, development, and execution of automated testing across our Commercial applications. You will be a self starter who is excited about building out a green field QA function across a heavily used suite of projects. In addition to operating as a senior individual contributor, you will balance deep technical work, building scalable test frameworks and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, with mentoring team members, establishing coding standards, and advocating for quality early in the development lifecycle. Working closely with cross-functional engineering and product teams, you will ensure high release confidence, minimize defect leakage, and eliminate test flakiness to maintain a fast, reliable continuous deployment workflow.
What you’ll do
• Architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable test automation frameworks (UI, API, Mobile, Performance) across web and backend systems.
• Establish automation guidelines, coding standards, and best practices across the engineering organization.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab) to enable seamless continuous testing and reliable deployment gates.
• Mentor and guide QA engineers on test automation techniques, design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model), clean code principles, and effective debugging.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Software Engineers early in the development lifecycle to clarify requirements, review design specs, and plan for testability.
