A senior QA automation / SDET or QA lead role where I own test strategy and automation end to end: Playwright and Python frameworks, API and performance testing, CI quality gates, and AI/LLM quality. I'm looking for remote full-time or long-term B2B work with a product team that treats quality as an engineering discipline. Based in Belgrade (CET).

SerbiaWhat I'm looking for
At Constructor Tech, I lead QA for a real-time video platform, owning test strategy, sprint quality, and release sign-off. I helped raise automated test coverage from 14% to 56% in three sprints by involving developers in test writing.
I also built Claude-powered QA skills that cut regression documentation preparation from four hours to 10 minutes. They support release audits and test-case creation, while I develop a tool to scope regression tests based on change impact.
At Luxoft Serbia, I owned the test strategy for a new product version and developed UI automation in C# and Playwright. Working with the QA lead on shift-left practices and a Zero Bug strategy helped cut bugs per sprint from 18 to 6.
At Software MacKiev, I built a Python and Sikuli automation framework from scratch for Family Tree Maker, reducing Windows and macOS regression from three hours to 10 minutes. My work also includes testing AI assistants and recognition models, API and backend testing, accessibility, and load testing.
I ran stepped load tests with k6 and Locust at up to 6,000 concurrent live sessions, and introduced release governance where QA approval is required for release merges. Based in Belgrade (CET), open to remote full-time roles or B2B contracts.
