We're looking for **an SDET Automation Lead** who can transform a technically capable but operationally strained QA team into a strategic, AI\-powered quality engineering function. This is the opportunity to fundamentally rethink how we assure quality at scale.
**What You'll Own**
**1\. Strategy \& Architecture:**
* Define key product quality metrics and build a strategic multi\-quarter QA roadmap
* Execute the defined QA roadmap
* Expand test coverage systematically: prioritize by risk, by impact
* Own the test system infrastructure and the resource strategy
**2\. People \& Execution:**
* Build a team culture focused on heavy AI \& automation usage
* Restructure on\-duty rotation so it's equitable and sustainable
* Mentor 6 SDETs from "test writers" to "product quality engineers" who own subsystems end\-to\-end
* Create career growth paths
**Tech Stack:**
**Test Framework** \- pytest, Python, Playwright (emerging)
**CI/CD** \- Jenkins (Multibranch Pipelines, 100\+ jobs), GitLab CI (migration target)
**Infrastructure** \- OpenNebula (VM orchestration), S3/Ceph
**Reporting** \- Allure Framework (POC), Redash/ClickHouse (current)
**Communication** \- Slack (daily reports, bots), Jira (DEF project, 1200\+ issues)
**Requirements**
**Must have:**
* 5\+ years in test automation, 2\+ years leading a QA team (5\+ engineers)
* Deep experience with Linux\-based product testing (RPM, systemd, multi\-distro matrix)
* Proven track record of dramatically improving test reliability metrics
* Experience building or integrating AI/ML into QA workflows (not theoretical — show us what you shipped)
* Strong Python skills (the entire test framework and tooling is Python)
* CI/CD pipeline architecture experience (Jenkins Pipelines \> GitLab CI is upcoming)
**Must demonstrate:**
* **Strategic thinking**
* **Delegation instinct:** you'd build processes that distribute and track ownership
* **Data\-driven execution:** You measure, set targets, and hold teams accountable to metrics
* **Strategic initiative:** You proactively propose and drive improvements, not wait for problems to be assigned to you
* **Automation bias:** If a human does it daily (like the nightly report), it should be automated — period
**Nice to have:**
* VM orchestration/cloud infrastructure testing experience
* Security product testing background (WAF, antivirus)
**Benefits**
**What's in it for you?**
* A focus on professional development.
* Interesting and challenging projects.
* Fully remote work with flexible working hours, that allows you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide.
* Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves.
* Compensation for private medical insurance.
* Co\-working and gym/sports reimbursement.
* Budget for education.
* The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent.
*By applying for this position, you consent to the processing of your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy (*https://cloudlinux.com/candidate\-privacy\-notice*), which provides detailed information on how we maintain and handle your data.*
