Job Description

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

Requirements:

  • Hands-on experience with tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Jest, Postman, or similar
  • Strong experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Jenkins
  • Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript testing environments, REST APIs, and relational databases
  • 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

Benefits:

  • Remote work and flexible working hours
  • Mentorship and development opportunities (to help you achieve your career goals!)
