About the Role

InfoTrust is seeking a Lead Quality Engineer – Automation to build and scale our quality engineering function from the ground up. As our first QA/QE hire in India, you will define automation strategy, establish best practices, and implement scalable testing frameworks that ensure the reliability, performance, and integrity of our SaaS solutions.

This is a high-impact, highly autonomous role. You won’t just execute tests—you will shape how quality is built into our engineering culture.

If you thrive in ownership, enjoy solving complex technical challenges, and want to build something foundational, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Build & Lead Automation Strategy

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for functional, regression, API, and performance testing.
  • Establish QA best practices, standards, and processes across teams.
  • Drive automation-first quality strategy and continuously improve test coverage and reliability.

Engineering & Technical Execution

  • Develop automated test suites using tools such as Selenium, PyTest, Cypress, Playwright, or similar.
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
  • Perform API testing using tools such as Postman, REST Assured, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Validate and query data across SQL and NoSQL databases to support test scenarios and troubleshooting.
  • Partner with engineering teams to ensure quality across microservices and cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Collaboration & Quality Advocacy

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
  • Advocate for testability, observability, and continuous improvement.
  • Identify risks early and drive proactive solutions.

You could be a great fit if:

  • You have 3+ years of experience in test automation for web, API, or cloud-based systems. 
  • You have proficiency in one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, or JavaScript. 
  • You have experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP). 
  • You have a strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or similar) and the ability to write SQL. 
  • You have hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and version control (Git). 
  • You have a solid understanding of software testing principles, QA methodologies, and SDLC. 
  • You possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
  • You have excellent communication and teamwork abilities. 
  • You have strong attention to detail with a passion for continuous improvement. 

Bonus:

  • You have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). 
  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code and test environments in the cloud. 
  • Exposure to performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Locust). 
  • Knowledge of observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus). 

You shouldn’t apply if:

  • You prefer structured environments with predefined test plans rather than building strategy and frameworks independently.

  • You are primarily focused on manual testing.

  • You are uncomfortable working in a growing organization where processes are still evolving.
