I'm looking for a strategic Senior SDET/QA Lead role with an async-first remote team, focused on modernizing UI/API automation (Playwright/Selenium/Karate), AI-assisted testing, and CI/CD quality engineering for enterprise SaaS. At E2open Solutions, I build scalable UI and API automation with Playwright, Karate, and Selenium for global trade management, supply chain, and analytics SaaS products. I reduced regression execution time by 50% by modernising a legacy Excel-based framework and improved automation productivity by 40% using AI models and custom AI agents. I lead QA delivery for global releases, manage a four-member QA team, assess release risk, and support strategic customer implementations and production go-lives. I also partner with Product Management and business stakeholders to turn complex requirements into effective user stories, test scenarios, and quality execution. Previously at AmberRoad Technologies, I automated critical UI and API workflows with Selenium and REST Assured, reducing manual regression effort by 30%. I enjoy improving quality through practical automation, early testing, data validation, and AI-enabled engineering workflows.
