Jobgether · India

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Sr. Principal, Quality Engineering Architect based in India.

This is a senior technical leadership role focused on redefining how quality engineering is delivered at scale through AI-driven automation and intelligent testing systems. You will play a pivotal part in shaping enterprise-wide quality strategies, moving beyond traditional testing into autonomous, predictive, and self-healing quality ecosystems. The role involves designing advanced AI-first automation frameworks that integrate seamlessly into modern CI/CD and DevOps pipelines. You will work across distributed engineering teams to embed quality intelligence into every stage of the software lifecycle. This is a high-impact position where innovation, architecture, and hands-on engineering converge. You will influence standards, drive adoption of emerging AI testing practices, and enable faster, more reliable product delivery across complex systems. The environment is highly collaborative, fast-evolving, and deeply focused on engineering excellence and transformation.

Accountabilities:

  • Lead the architecture and design of AI-driven quality engineering frameworks across UI, API, data, and microservices ecosystems, ensuring scalability, reusability, and enterprise readiness.
  • Develop and implement intelligent automation solutions that reduce manual testing effort through AI agents for test generation, execution optimization, and defect analysis.
  • Embed AI capabilities into CI/CD pipelines by defining smart quality gates, predictive testing models, and automated feedback loops.
  • Design advanced test infrastructure including test harnesses, mock services, and synthetic data generation frameworks to support continuous validation.
  • Drive adoption of modern engineering practices such as BDD, TDD, observability-driven testing, and risk-based quality strategies.
  • Provide technical leadership across performance, security, scalability, and resilience testing within complex distributed systems.
  • Mentor engineering teams and establish governance standards for automation frameworks, coding practices, and AI-enabled QA adoption.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering stakeholders to define test strategies, improve testability, and align quality goals with delivery objectives.
  • Requirements

    • 10+ years of experience in software quality engineering with strong expertise in test automation architecture for enterprise-scale systems.
    • Proven experience designing AI-powered or advanced automation frameworks using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, and REST Assured.
    • Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or JavaScript with the ability to build scalable automation and AI-driven testing solutions.
    • Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML concepts such as generative AI for test case generation, defect analysis, and test data creation.
    • Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
    • Experience with observability tools, data-driven testing, and analytics-based quality decision-making.
    • Familiarity with MLOps concepts, including model validation, drift detection, and AI system testing.
    • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence engineering direction.
    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent technical discipline.
    • Benefits

      • Competitive compensation aligned with senior engineering leadership roles
      • Remote-first flexibility within India
      • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI-driven engineering transformation initiatives
      • Exposure to global-scale enterprise systems and advanced automation ecosystems
      • Continuous learning and upskilling opportunities in AI, DevOps, and quality engineering
      • Collaborative, innovation-driven engineering culture
      • Health and wellness benefits (as per partner company policy)
      • Career growth opportunities in architecture and engineering leadership tracks.
