What you'll do

Quality at esurance is a shared responsibility and this role is where it all comes together. As QA Automation Lead, you’ll own the automation foundation that our cross-functional product squads build on: setting the standards, defining what good looks like, and staying hands-on enough to make it real. You’ll split your time roughly 70/30 between building and governing — close enough to the code to stay credible, and strategic enough to move the whole team forward. If you want a role where your technical decisions ripple across every product we ship, this is it.

The essentials:

• A strong track record (8+ years) designing and owning test automation frameworks in a modern, microservice environment e.g. Automation maturity, KPI trends (E2E coverage)
• Experience defining QA standards, governance practices, and KPIs across multiple teams or workstreams.
• The ability to balance hands-on technical delivery with cross-team alignment and leadership-level reporting.

Great to have:

• Experience building automation KPI dashboards and presenting quality metrics to management.
• Familiarity with GitLab CI/CD and integrating automated tests into the development pipeline.
• Background working in agile, distributed product organisations — ideally in a scale-up or InsurTech context.

What sets you apart as a person:

• You lead by doing — equally comfortable deep in code and articulating quality strategy to leadership.
• You build trust across teams through consistent standards, clear communication, and results that are visible to everyone.

Requirements:

• JavaScript, QA, Automation, Analysis, CI/CD Pipelines, GitLab, coaching, KPI dashboards
• Tools: GitLab, Agile.
• Additionally: Flat structure, evolving tech stack, International team.
