Clara - QA Automation Lead (Líder de Automatización de QA) - Remote First
Requirements
• 6+ years in software quality engineering with deep automation experience (not manual-only QA). • Hands-on ownership of test automation frameworks for web and API (Playwright strongly preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or Webdriver.io also relevant). • Experience designing modular, data-driven suites (Page Object / screen patterns, tagging for @smoke / @regression, selective CI execution). • Solid programming skills in TypeScript and/or JavaScript; comfort reading and reviewing production-adjacent code (Java/Spring or React is a plus). • API testing expertise (contract/integration layers) and familiarity with SQL / test-data design. • CI/CD integration experience (GitHub Actions or equivalent); understanding of flaky-test management and parallelization. • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum or Kanban delivery and risk-based test prioritization. • Exposure to mobile automation (Appium, BrowserStack) is valuable given Clara's multi-surface products. • Proven technical leadership: framework decisions, mentoring, and raising the quality bar across multiple teams. • Strong stakeholder communication — able to translate automation trade-offs for Product and engineering leadership. • Strategic mindset: you plan roadmaps and adoption, not only ticket-level scripts. • Ability to push back constructively on scope that undermines reliability or bus-factor health. • Excellent English (written and verbal); Spanish is a plus for LATAM collaboration. • Nice-to-Have • Experience with AI-assisted QA tooling (agents that generate/execute tests from tickets, MCP/Playwright CLI workflows). • Orchestration tools (e.g. n8n) and ticketing integrations (Linear). • Internal test-management / reporting platforms or replacing external tools (Qase) with owned systems. • Financial / fintech product experience (payments, cards, onboarding). • ISTQB or equivalent; prior QA Tech Lead or SDET Lead title. • Disclaimer: "Clara is committed to hybrid work, combining the flexibility of remote work with the collaboration, connection, and professional development benefits that come from working together in the office. The team doesn't have fixed in-office days, but we encourage our Claridians to come into the office based on business or team needs."

• A high talent-density team driven to make an impact in Latin America — low ego, high ownership. • A high talent-density team • Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one. • An annual learning budget and accelerated development paths. • English is our working language, with Spanish and Portuguese every day. • How we work • Clarity — Open and direct communication: we say what we mean and give context where it matters. • Clarity • Simplicity — If it can be simpler, it should be. • Simplicity • Ownership — We own everything we do, end to end. When something needs to happen, we don't wait. • Ownership • Pride — We hold ourselves to a high standard, and it shows in what we deliver. • Pride • ABC (Always Be Changing) — We adapt fast, embrace change, and keep learning. • ABC (Always Be Changing) • Inclusivity — Diverse ideas, stories and perspectives build a better Clara. • Inclusivity • Hybrid at Clara • Claridians split their time between the office, customers and home. We don't set a minimum number of office days for most roles, but we expect you to spend time there naturally, and most days during your ramp-up or when your leader asks. • If you meet the must-haves, apply — the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
