Contenido del rol extraído en secciones para revisar más rápido.

1. Strategy & Architecture:

  • Define key product quality metrics and build a strategic multi-quarter QA roadmap
  • Execute the defined QA roadmap and hold the team accountable to it
  • Expand test coverage systematically: prioritise by risk and customer impact, not by noise
  • Own the test system infrastructure and the resource strategy
  • Drive adoption of AI tooling across the QA function — from test generation to failure triage

2. People & Execution:

  • Build a team culture focused on heavy AI and automation usage
  • Restructure on-duty rotation so it's equitable and sustainable
  • Mentor SDETs from "test writers" to "product quality engineers" who own subsystems end-to-end
  • Create clear career growth paths within the QA function
  • Collaborate closely with developers; translate quality signals into actionable development priorities

Tech Stack:

  • Test Framework — pytest, Python, Playwright (emerging)
  • Scripting — Bash / Shell (package environments, multi-distro testing)
  • CI/CD — Jenkins, GitLab CI (migration target)
  • Infrastructure — OpenNebula, KubeVirt, Docker, Ansible, S3/Ceph
  • Reporting — Allure Framework, Redash / ClickHouse
  • Communication — Slack, Jira

RequirementsMust Have

  • 5+ years in test automation; 2+ years leading a QA team of 3+ engineers
  • Deep experience with Linux-based product testing: RPM/DEB packages, systemd, multi-distro matrix
  • Strong Python skills — the entire test framework and tooling is Python
  • Proven track record of dramatically improving test reliability and coverage metrics
  • Experience building or integrating AI/ML into QA workflows — not theoretical, show what you shipped
  • CI/CD pipeline architecture experience (Jenkins Pipelines; GitLab CI migration is upcoming)
  • Fluent in Linux CLI and shell scripting — package environments require comfort at the system level
  • English — Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher

Must Demonstrate

  • Strategic thinking: you see the system, not just the ticket; you plan quarters, not just sprints
  • Delegation instinct: you build processes that distribute and track ownership, not a single point of failure
  • Data-driven execution: you measure, set targets, and hold teams accountable to metrics
  • Strategic initiative: you proactively propose and drive improvements — you don't wait for problems to be assigned
  • Automation bias: if a human does something daily (like a nightly report), it should be automated — period

Nice to haves

  • VM orchestration or cloud infrastructure testing experience
  • Experience testing security patches and package updates, including kernel-level patches for Linux distributions
  • Experience with multi-distro Linux testing matrices at scale
  • Hands-on experience with Linux packaging ecosystems (RPM, DEB, APK), repository management, and security advisory formats (OVAL, CSAF)
  • Hands-on understanding of vulnerability lifecycle: CVE intake, patch validation, regression testing of security fixes, advisory generation (OVAL / CSAF) — you'll be testing patches, not features

What's in it for you

  • A focus on professional development
  • Interesting and challenging projects
  • Fully remote work with flexible working hours — schedule your day and work from any location worldwide
  • Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leave
  • 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
