Test Development Team Lead

We are seeking a hands-on Test Development Team Lead to lead a small team of test

developers responsible for validating a complex IoT collaboration platform consisting of

embedded audio devices, mobile and web applications, cloud services, and Azure-based device

connectivity.

This role combines technical leadership, software development, quality engineering, and AI

innovation. The successful candidate will lead both manual and automated testing efforts while

driving the next generation of AI-assisted test infrastructure. This includes developing

intelligent systems that leverage product telemetry, source code analysis, and agent-based

workflows to automatically generate, execute, and enhance test scenarios.

The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer with a passion for quality, automation, and

emerging AI technologies, who enjoys leading teams while remaining deeply involved in

architecture and development.

You will have an opportunity to help shape how quality engineering evolves in an AI-first world. Rather than maintaining traditional test systems, you will build intelligent testing capabilities that combine software engineering, cloud platforms, observability, and AI agents to improve product quality at scale across a sophisticated IoT ecosystem. This is an opportunity to lead the transformation from conventional QA toward autonomous, AI-powered quality engineering.
