• Champion a “quality-first” mindset across teams, ensuring robust testing practices and continuous feedback loops.
• Oversee mobile QA efforts, ensuring reliable testing and performance for our Capacitor-based mobile builds.

Requirements

• 8+ years of QA experience, including at least 2–3 years in a lead role within a SaaS or cloud-based product environment.
