Lead QA Engineer (AI native)

Responsibilities

• Design and build the end-to-end testing pipeline for a product largely written by AI agents: pre-merge checks, nightly test runs, release and production gates
• Define the quality strategy for AI-generated code: where risks are highest, what coverage is needed, and how to keep it sustainable at scale
• Set up continuous automated UI testing across browsers and mobile devices, including AI-agent-driven testing; evaluate, choose and integrate external tools and services
• Own product reliability from a technical perspective, with special focus on critical financial flows
• Work closely with engineers and DevOps to embed quality into the development process and find the right trade-offs between speed and safety
• Use AI agents daily to create, maintain and evolve tests and testing tooling
• Drive quality initiatives proactively and share best practices with the team

Requirements

• Proven experience building and owning testing processes in large, complex products with high reliability requirements, as a QA Architect, senior QA/SDET, or a senior engineer responsible for testing strategy
• Strong engineering background: understanding of system architecture, backend services, CI/CD and deployment processes
• Hands-on experience with test automation and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Daily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar) as a core part of your work, and genuine interest in AI-first development
• High autonomy and ownership: ability to take loosely defined problems, propose solutions and drive them to completion without detailed specs
• Willingness to work as a hands-on individual contributor in a small senior team
• Fluent Russian
