Senior QA Strategist — Automation-First Testing

Keyfactor; Barcelona; Híbrido; EUR 60.000 - 90.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Keyfactor seeks a Senior Software QA Analyst to own risk-based testing and to transform Redtrust testing from a largely manual process to automation-first regression coverage. You will lead the test strategy, align Product, Development, and QA, and guide automation efforts across unit, API, and UI layers.

As a senior contributor, you will define the critical path, shape the QA pyramid, and report quality metrics to engineering leadership while mentoring junior QA engineers and driving process

Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in QA engineering, QA analysis, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience with risk-based test strategy — able to assess a large or bloated test suite and defensibly prioritize, rationalize, and reduce it, not merely execute it.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and leadership in QA contexts.

Responsabilidades

• Design and own a comprehensive, risk-based test strategy for Redtrust, spanning functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Lead the transformation of a largely manual regression process into a prioritized, automation-first approach with the automation engineers.
• Design and maintain test plans and test cases for significant product features, ensuring thorough, risk-appropriate coverage.
• Identify, document, and track defects, collaborating with Development to resolve them, and maintain healthy defect-triage discipline.
• Participate in product design and refinement reviews to surface quality and testability risks early (shift-left).
• Own the coordination interface between Product, Development, and QA — aligning the three functions on testing requirements and on which layer should catch which class of issue.
• Partner with Development to define and grow the unit-test layer and agree the dev/QA testing boundary, prioritizing the platform’s most critical modules.
• Establish and maintain test documentation, quality metrics, and reporting; make quality risk and progress visible to engineering leadership.
• Drive continuous improvement in QA methodologies, tooling, and process, including safeguards that prevent regression scope from re-bloating as the product grows.
• Mentor junior QA engineers and share QA best practices across the team.
