QA Automation Lead

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

We support a multi-brand social gaming platform that delivers real-time entertainment across web and mobile channels. The system includes a RESTful API and WebSocket services for live game sessions, a complex back-end supporting concurrent users and high transaction volumes, and a dynamic front-end with frequent UI enhancements. Releases occur on a weekly or bi-weekly cadence, introducing new features, bug fixes, and integrations without downtime. Ensuring end-to-end quality and reliability is critical: production issues directly affect customer engagement and revenue. The platform’s scale and continuous delivery model create demanding technical and coordination challenges, making precise test automation essential.

About the Role:

As QA Automation Lead, you will establish and grow the automation function from the ground up. You will take full ownership of automation strategy, framework design, pipeline integration, and team hiring. In the first months, you will be hands-on — writing and reviewing test code, configuring CI/CD, and guiding defect triage — while building processes and standards that ensure high test coverage and fast feedback on every pull request. You will collaborate closely with engineers and product managers, translate requirements into test plans, and mentor QA engineers. Your work will directly impact release quality, deployment velocity, and team efficiency in a fast-paced environment where production errors have significant cost.
