About You

• You are an inspiring leader who attracts and develops top talent, leads by example, communicates clearly, and builds trust through authenticity and competence.


• You have an AI-native mindset and believe in AI's transformative potential for quality assurance as a force multiplier, not a replacement.


• You bring deep technical expertise in mobile QA across Android and/or iOS, including understanding of device fragmentation, OS-specific challenges, and robust test strategy design.


• You are a hands-on manager who stays connected to the work, writes test code, and understands the day-to-day realities of your team.


• You have experience with programming languages such as Java, Kotlin, Swift, or Python.


• You are curious and continuously learning, especially in AI tooling for QA, mobile testing innovations, and team dynamics.


• You thrive in cross-functional collaboration and build strong relationships with product, engineering, design, and DevOps teams.


• You are a strategic quality builder who shapes team culture, establishes meaningful quality metrics, and drives continuous improvement.
