QA Architect owning automated testing, CI/CD quality gates, and release standards. Improving Cardata’s software for business vehicle reimbursement programs.
Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end quality strategy across web, APIs, and data layers, including standards, test coverage expectations, and release criteria
- Assess existing products and features, identify quality gaps, and establish prioritized test plans based on risk and business impact
- Build and scale automated testing frameworks across unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing
- Define the tooling, architecture, and shared testing patterns used across engineering squads
- Embed automated quality gates into CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions before they reach production
- Establish release-readiness standards, testing thresholds, and coverage expectations across teams
- Improve test reliability, pipeline health, automation coverage, and flakiness across critical user flows
- Partner with DevOps/Platform to ensure test environments are stable, fast, and representative of production
- Define and monitor engineering quality metrics that surface trends, risks, and areas for improvement
- Partner with Engineering and Product to build testability into requirements, design, and technical planning
- Drive shift-left practices so quality is considered earlier in the development lifecycle, not just before release
- Mentor engineers and QA team members on automation, testing practices, and quality ownership
- Participate in incident reviews and post-mortems and turn recurring quality gaps into systemic improvements
- Act as a quality authority on releases, including holding releases when critical standards are not met

- Strong understanding of modern web application architecture and quality engineering practices
- Experience using AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot to improve testing and automation
- Interest in applying AI to areas such as test generation, defect detection, and pipeline optimization
- Experience with performance/load testing tools such as k6, Locust, or JMeter is a plus
