Software QA Lead

Hiring for Cotecna Inspection — via Flexiple, the recruiting partner on this role.
About Company
Cotecna is a global provider of testing, inspection and certification services. Its digital products support customer portals, field inspection, laboratories, compliance records, certificates, document workflows and operational teams across high-stakes global supply chains. The company is strengthening the quality-engineering foundations behind these applications.
Job Roles & Responsibilities
Own the automation strategy while remaining hands-on with framework design, test development, debugging and execution across Cotecna’s digital products.
Build and evolve maintainable automation frameworks for web and API journeys; framework choice is flexible when the architecture and ownership evidence are strong.
Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines and establish reliable quality gates, reporting, triage and release-readiness criteria.
Lead and mentor QA engineers, define standards and review practices, and improve coverage, speed, maintainability and production quality.
Partner with product, engineering and business stakeholders on risk-based testing, defect prevention, go/no-go decisions and post-release improvement.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Six to ten years of QA or quality-engineering experience, including at least five years of recent hands-on automation and continued coding or framework work.
Demonstrable ownership of an automation framework built from scratch or substantially architected; scripting only inside somebody else’s framework is insufficient.
Hands-on web automation using Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or an equivalent, plus API automation using Rest Assured, Postman, Karate or an equivalent.
Personal ownership of integrating automated suites into Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps or a comparable delivery pipeline.
Evidence of leading or owning QA for a team, including mentoring, standards and release or production-readiness decisions; quantified team size is preferred.
Mobile automation, performance or security-aware testing, cloud or containers, and regulated or document-heavy systems are useful differentiators.
