QA Automation Lead (Líder de Automatización de QA) - Remote First

We are looking for a QA Automation Lead to own Clara's test automation strategy, frameworks, and quality standards. This is a technical leadership role for someone who sets the automation bar across web, API, and mobile surfaces — not a classic people-manager seat. You partner with Engineering Directors, pod leads, and Product to make automation the default path to release confidence, while mentoring QA and engineering teammates who build and adopt the frameworks.

You are the technical authority for QA automation at Clara. You own the strategy, architecture, and reliability of the automation platform (Playwright-based web/API frameworks, CI integration, reporting, and enablement) so pods can ship with confidence without QA becoming a bottleneck.

What You Own

• Automation strategy — Define and evolve the automation roadmap (test pyramid, risk-based prioritization, shift-left practices) aligned with product delivery across surfaces such as payments, onboarding, cards, and accounts.
• Framework ownership — Own architecture decisions for shared automation frameworks (e.g. Playwright for web/API; Appium/Wdio where mobile automation applies). Set coding standards, review patterns, and maintainability rules for test code.
