Remote Volunteer Test Automation Lead — iLevelUP

Help iLevelUP strengthen automated quality checks for an educational platform serving underserved youth and young people.

Responsibilities:

• Assess current automation coverage, reliability, execution time, environments, and maintenance cost
• Define an approved automation roadmap based on product risk and release needs
• Establish patterns for unit, API, component, integration, end-to-end, and visual checks
• Build reusable fixtures, page or screen abstractions, synthetic test data, reporting, and CI integration
• Reduce flaky tests through clear ownership, diagnostics, isolation, and review
• Mentor volunteer engineers and review automation changes
• Protect credentials and ensure tests do not expose or modify sensitive production data
• Track coverage, failures, runtime, defect prevention, and maintenance health
• Never run destructive tests or change production release gates without authorization

Qualifications:

• Senior experience with automated software testing, test architecture, CI/CD, coding, and quality engineering
• Strong Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, API testing, or comparable tools
• Familiarity with accessibility, performance, security, mobile, web, and synthetic-data practices
