Qa Automation Engineer

Overview
This is a remote role based in São Paulo, Brazil.
Role: We are looking for a highly experienced Lead QA Automation Engineer (SDET) to architect, build, and scale our test automation framework for a complex, enterprise-grade SaaS platform.
Our customers include global financial institutions, professional services firms, and military organizations — so reliability, scalability, and security are paramount.
This role is not just about writing tests.
It's about building the foundation of quality engineering: designing automation systems that evolve with the product, scale to enterprise workloads, and provide confidence for mission-critical deployments.
The ideal candidate has a proven track record of creating automation frameworks from scratch, scaling them in fast-growing SaaS environments, and mentoring teams to raise the overall quality bar.
Responsibilities
Architect and own the test automation framework and infrastructure to support web, API, and integration testing at scale.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to ensure testability and quality are baked into requirements, design, and release processes.
Define automation strategy, roadmap, and best practices for the entire organization.
Build and maintain robust regression and smoke test suites that can run reliably across CI/CD pipelines.
Design reporting and analytics dashboards to provide real-time visibility into quality metrics.
Proactively identify gaps in coverage, performance, and resilience; ensure automation scales as the platform grows in complexity.
Mentor and guide QA engineers and SDETs, elevating automation practices across the team.
Skills & Qualifications
Expertise in automation frameworks and architecture (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent).
Senior-level Java skills (or equivalent language proficiency) — ability to design automation frameworks, not just test scripts.
Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git, Jenkins, and quality gates in release management.
Deep understanding of enterprise SaaS application architectures (multi-tenant, API-driven, cloud-based) and their testability challenges.
Proven ability to build automation frameworks from scratch and scale them with product growth.
Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence).
Excellent collaboration skills; proven success working across Product, Engineering, and Operations teams.
Experience testing in regulated, security-sensitive, or mission-critical environments is a strong plus.
Education & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
10+ years of QA Automation / SDET experience, with at least 5 years building and scaling automation frameworks in enterprise SaaS.
Track record of leading quality initiatives for complex, large-scale solutions used by demanding enterprise customers.
