Job Description

• Automation Strategy: Identify opportunities for test automation and guide the team in building, maintaining, and scaling automated test scripts to reduce manual overhead.
• Defect Management: Establish and enforce a rigorous defect lifecycle—from discovery and logging (via tools like Jira) to triage, root-cause analysis, and resolution verification.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with software developers, product owners, and business analysts to understand features, resolve ambiguities, and proactively mitigate quality risks.
• Reporting & Metrics: Generate daily/weekly QA status reports, tracking crucial metrics (e.g., defect density, test coverage, pass/fail rates) to provide leadership with a clear view of release readiness.

Required

• Rich experience in Software Quality Assurance, with few years serving in a QA Lead, Test Lead, or QA Management role.
• Testing Methodologies: Deep understanding of software testing concepts, including functional, non-functional, regression, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

• SDLC & Agile: Proven experience working within Agile/Scrum environments and a strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
• Analytical Skills: Strong analytical mindset with a keen eye for detail and a systematic approach to problem-solving.

Preferred

• Certifications: Active ISTQB Certification (e.g., Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Manager) or equivalent Agile/QA certifications.
• Automation Experience: Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Appium, Playwright) and basic coding proficiency (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript).
