Job Description
ABBYY is seeking a Principal QA Engineer to contribute to their quality strategy. The ideal candidate will help define and implement the company's approach to test automation and quality processes.

- Work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to prevent bugs before they happen and make sure quality is part of how we build things.
- Be involved in figuring out what people and skills we need as we grow, and mentor others in the team.
- Keep an eye out for ways to improve test coverage, reduce flakiness, and cut down test times.
- Help define what we track to understand quality, and make sure we actually use that info to get better.
Requirements:
- 10+ years in QA roles, with deep experience in automation
- Experience building or leading large QA automation efforts, ideally in fast-moving product teams
- Comfortable picking the right tools and frameworks based on needs, not trends
- Solid understanding of CI/CD and how tests fit in
