QA Automation Lead

Description

The company is hiring a QA Automation Lead in Lithuania.

Tadas Vaskela, Head of Enterprise Delivery, is looking for someone who wants to influence where test automation goes next at the company.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people management one. It suits someone who likes writing code, solving automation problems and shaping engineering habits across several teams.

You will set the technical direction for automation across Lithuania, make Playwright-based practices the norm, and work alongside teams on frameworks, reusable parts and automated tests.

You will help decide how automation is designed and built across the organisation, rather than only keeping an existing framework running.

The company has 15,000 colleagues across the Nordics and Baltics.

Current stack: Playwright, TypeScript, GitHub, GitHub Actions, CI/CD and Jira.

Questions about the role can go to Tadas Vaskela, Head of Enterprise Delivery.
