My client is seeking a Lead QA Engineer (QA Enablement) to play a pivotal role in shaping and strengthening quality assurance across the entire organisation.

• Supporting UAT environments, incident resolution, and companywide QA initiatives.
• Mentoring QA Engineers and promoting a culture of quality-first engineering.
• Acting as a trusted technical voice on QA architecture and automation tooling.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in test architecture, QA strategy, and automation frameworks.
• Deep understanding of test tools and continuous delivery.
• Hands-on experience with load and performance testing, ideally in cloud environments (AWS or similar).
• A strong grasp of modern automation practices and how to scale them across teams.
• Excellent communication and mentoring skills able to bring others on board with new tools and ideas.
• Experience in Agile SaaS development environments preferred.

Why Join?

• Shape the entire QA ecosystem across a leading SaaS organisation.
• Work with talented engineers who are passionate about technical excellence.
• Flexible hybrid setup with minimal office requirement.
• A collaborative culture that values innovation, growth, and empowerment.

If you re a technically minded QA professional who enjoys building frameworks, defining standards, and enabling others to deliver high-quality software this is your chance to make a strategic impact.
