We're looking for **an SDET Automation Lead** who can transform a technically capable but operationally strained QA team into a strategic, AI-powered quality engineering function. This is the opportunity to fundamentally rethink how we assure quality at scale.

**What You'll Own**

**1\. Strategy & Architecture:**

-   Define key product quality metrics and build a strategic multi-quarter QA roadmap 
-   Execute the defined QA roadmap 
-   Expand test coverage systematically: prioritize by risk, by impact
-   Own the test system infrastructure and the resource strategy

**2\. People & Execution:**

-   Build a team culture focused on heavy AI & automation usage
-   Restructure on-duty rotation so it's equitable and sustainable
-   Mentor 6 SDETs from "test writers" to "product quality engineers" who own subsystems end-to-end
-   Create career growth paths

**Tech Stack:**

-   **Test Framework** - pytest, Python, Playwright (emerging)
-   **CI/CD** - Jenkins (Multibranch Pipelines, 100+ jobs), GitLab CI (migration target)
-   **Infrastructure** \- OpenNebula (VM orchestration), S3/Ceph
-   **Reporting** - Allure Framework (POC), Redash/ClickHouse (current)
-   **Communication** - Slack (daily reports, bots), Jira (DEF project, 1200+ issues)[](https://www.imunify360.com/)

## Requirements

**Must have:**

-   5+ years in test automation, 2+ years leading a QA team (5+ engineers)
-   Deep experience with Linux-based product testing (RPM, systemd, multi-distro matrix)
-   Proven track record of dramatically improving test reliability metrics
-   Experience building or integrating AI/ML into QA workflows (not theoretical — show us what you shipped)
-   Strong Python skills (the entire test framework and tooling is Python)
-   CI/CD pipeline architecture experience (Jenkins Pipelines > GitLab CI is upcoming)

**Must demonstrate:**

-   **Strategic thinking**
-   **Delegation instinct:** you'd build processes that distribute and track ownership
-   **Data-driven execution:** You measure, set targets, and hold teams accountable to metrics
-   **Strategic initiative:** You proactively propose and drive improvements, not wait for problems to be assigned to you
-   **Automation bias:** If a human does it daily (like the nightly report), it should be automated — period

**Nice to have:**

-   VM orchestration/cloud infrastructure testing experience
-   Security product testing background (WAF, antivirus)

## Benefits

**What's in it for you?**

-   A focus on professional development.
-   Interesting and challenging projects.
-   Fully remote work with flexible working hours, that allows you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide.
-   Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves.
-   Compensation for private medical insurance.
-   Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement.
-   Budget for education.
-   The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent.
