Software Test Automation Engineering Lead (Bangalore)

Description Trintech is an award-winning AI-driven Fintech SaaS organisation transforming the way finance teams operate. Our Software Test Automation Lead serves as a hands-on individual contributor responsible for defining test automation standards and advancing quality assurance practices across Trintech’s AI Platform. This role owns test automation for core platform services, including multi-tenant architecture, IAM and OAuth workflows, event-driven services, API gateway functionality, billing and metering capabilities, audit trails, and the agent marketplace. Working closely with Platform Engineering, QA engineers, Architecture, and Agent Stream teams, the Software Test Automation Lead designs scalable test strategies, builds and maintains automated test suites, integrates quality gates into CI/CD pipelines, and ensures platform capabilities are secure, reliable, testable, and production-ready. This role also provides practice leadership across agent development squads by establishing QA standards, improving LLM and agent testing approaches, mentoring through technical example, and driving consistent test framework design, automation quality, and continuous improvement without direct people management. WHAT YOU WILL DO The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following: Platform Team Quality Assurance Own test automation for Platform Team services — multi-tenant data isolation, IAM and OAuth 2.0 flows, event-driven backbone integrity, API gateway contract testing, billing and metering accuracy, and agent marketplace functionality. Design and maintain test strategies for complex SaaS platform concerns — tenant boundary validation, cross-tenant security isolation, event ordering and delivery guarantees, and immutable audit log integrity. Build and maintain Pytest-based test suites for Platform Team Python services, validating API contracts, event schemas, and service-level behaviour under multi-tenant conditions. Collaborate with the Platform Software Architect and Senior QA Engineer on test coverage strategy — ensuring platform capabilities are testable by design and quality gates are integrated into the Platform Team’s CI/CD pipelines. Own audit trail validation for platform services — immutable log structure, correlation ID chains, and event emission correctness that underpin compliance requirements. QA Practice Leadership Across Agent Stream Define and own QA standards across all Agent Stream pods — test framework patterns, Pytest and Playwright conventions, CI/CD quality gate requirements, and test code quality bar that all pod QA engineers follow. Standardise LLM and agent testing approaches across pods — define how non-deterministic outputs are handled, what constitutes a regression, and how agent workflow validation is structured consistently across squads. Review and challenge test strategies proposed by pod QA engineers — raise the bar on coverage, framework design, and…
