About the Role: We are looking for an experienced Test Architect to own the regression testing strategy and quality framework for a complex observability and audit platform operating across multiple enterprise environments. This is a highly technical quality leadership role focused on defining what successful validation looks like across functional, performance, security, scalability, and infrastructure-related requirements . You will design the automation architecture, establish test coverage and acceptance criteria, and serve as the quality gatekeeper throughout the development lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering teams delivering logging, tracing, alerting, audit trail, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities, ensuring the platform continues to meet defined success metrics as new builds are delivered across sprints. The ideal candidate brings deep experience designing regression and automation strategies for distributed, data-intensive, infrastructure-heavy systems and is comfortable owning quality sign-off for business-critical technical platforms. Responsibilities: - Own and design the end-to-end regression testing strategy and framework across multiple platform components and enterprise environments. - Translate formal success metrics and technical evaluation criteria into clear, measurable, and automatable acceptance criteria. - Define comprehensive test coverage for: - Log and metric ingestion. - Search and query performance. - Distributed tracing correctness. - Audit trail integrity and immutability. - Alert firing, delivery, and routing. - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment validation. - Load and scalability scenarios. - Failure-injection scenarios. - Security and compliance-related acceptance criteria. - Design the automation architecture and determine the appropriate testing approaches and tooling. - Establish regression suites that continuously validate sprint deliverables. - Own test environment strategy and test data management across multiple product versions and environments. - Define approaches for performance, functional, security, and scalability validation. - Validate that Infrastructure as Code deployments are reproducible and meet defined acceptance criteria. - Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure testing approaches align with the underlying platform architecture. - Track testing progress, risks, defects, and overall quality status throughout the development lifecycle. - Provide clear quality reporting and recommendations during sprint reviews and stakeholder discussions. - Own quality gates and provide sign-off recommendations ahead of formal acceptance. Requirements: - 8+ years of professional experience in Test Architecture, Quality Engineering, QA Automation, or similar technical quality roles. - Proven experience leading testing strategy for distributed, data-intensive, or infrastructure-heavy systems. - Deep experience designing comprehensive regression testing frameworks and automation strategies. - Experience validating more than functional behavior, including perfor
