Apply for this Position Position Overview
We're looking for a QA lead to own quality for a product line and the testers working on it. You will define how quality is measured, decide what ships, and grow the people in your workstream.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the QA workstream: strategy, coverage, staffing, and release readiness.
- Define quality standards and entry and exit criteria across the product line.
- Own the release decision and communicate residual risk plainly to product and client stakeholders.
- Set the balance between manual, exploratory, and automated testing, and revisit it as the product changes.
- Run escaped-defect analysis and turn the causes into changes in how the team works.
- Grow QA engineers through one-to-ones, feedback, and deliberate work assignment.
- Embed quality earlier by getting testers into refinement, design review, and API design.
- Report quality metrics that inform decisions rather than decorate a slide.
Skills & Qualifications
- 7-10 years in software quality, including leading a QA team.
- Proven ability to define a test strategy across multiple products or teams.
- Strong API and data-level testing skills alongside UI testing.
- Experience deciding release readiness under commercial pressure and defending the call.
- Enough technical depth to review automated tests and challenge what they actually cover.
- Experience giving direct feedback and helping testers improve on the back of it.
- Clear communication with product, engineering leads, and client stakeholders.
Nice to Have
- Experience hiring and onboarding QA engineers.
- Background in a regulated or payments domain.
- Experience introducing test automation into a mostly manual team.
- Familiarity with performance, security, or accessibility testing programmes.
What You'll Gain
- Competitive salary.
- Fully remote — work from wherever you're most productive.
- Annual learning budget for books, courses, and conferences.
- Top-tier hardware and software tooling.
- Private health insurance and flexible time off.
