QA Automation Lead

Company: Invisia Software

Location: Bengaluru, India

Experience: 8-10 years QA Lead with automation focus

Reports to: EM

Type: Full-Time | Engineering Management

Invisia Software is a growing software product company building modern, scalable digital platforms. We operate at the intersection of thoughtful engineering and user-centric design, with a team that values ownership, technical rigour, and a bias for shipping. As we scale, we are investing in the people and infrastructure needed to move fast without breaking things — and every hire at this stage has a direct impact on the trajectory of the company.

We're looking for a hands-on QA automation Lead who can own the quality of a consumer facing travel platform — writing real automation code, building frameworks from scratch, and owning release readiness. You'll spend the majority of your time as an individual contributor, with a secondary responsibility of mentoring and guiding the QA team of 2–3 engineers and building test strategy and test automation roadmap.

This is not a management role. If you're looking to step back from hands-on work, this isn't the right fit. If you want to do deep automation work while growing into a technical lead, it is.

● Design, build, and maintain automated testing frameworks for mobile (Android & iOS) and web

● Write and own automation across API, UI, and end-to-end test layers

● Validate platform behavior across devices, OS versions, and geographies

● Own regression suites, release sign-off, and defect triage

● Work closely with Engineering and Product in sprint cycles — shift-left on quality

● Test backend services and 3rd party integrations — payment gateways, booking APIs, notification services, and data providers — validating correctness, failure handling, and retry behavior

● Design and execute performance and concurrency tests to validate system behavior under peak load — high user volumes, simultaneous bookings, and concurrent API traffic

● Identify bottlenecks in backend throughput, latency, and resource contention before they reach production

● Leverage AI tools to accelerate test authoring, improve coverage analysis, and reduce repetitive scripting effort — while maintaining human judgment on output quality

● Mentor 2–3 QA engineers - test strategy guidance, test-case review, skill development

● Define QA standards, coverage goals, and release quality criteria

● Contribute to the hiring and onboarding of QA team members

● At least 4 years of experience in Test automation & 2+ years of QA lead experience

● Hands-on proficiency with:

○ Playwright/Selenium — web automation

○ Appium — mobile automation (Android & iOS)

○ Rest Assured — API and backend integration testing

○ JMeter or k6 — performance and concurrency testing

● Experience testing 3rd party integrations — APIs, webhooks, payment flows, or data pipelines

● Experience testing consumer mobile + web applications at scale

● Solid grasp of functional, integration, regression, performance, and end-to-end testing

● Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum environments

● AI-assisted testing — use of LLM-based tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, or similar) for test case generation, automation script creation, and defect analysis; ability to evaluate and validate AI-generated test output for accuracy and coverage.
