KEY OBJECTIVE

We are looking for a visionary QA Lead to own and drive quality engineering across our platform. You will define the strategy, standards, and future ways of working for quality — spanning APIs, integrations, and platform-level reliability — while championing an AI-augmented testing mindset that keeps pace with how modern engineering teams deliver.

This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of quality strategy, platform engineering, and AI-driven innovation — for someone who can set direction, develop people, and get hands‑on when it matters.

MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategy & Leadership

• Define and own the platform’s QA strategy and roadmap, aligned to platform engineering goals and business outcomes.
• Champion a platform-thinking approach to quality — treating test coverage, reliability, and release confidence as first-class product concerns.
• Partner with Platform Engineering, Product, and Architecture to embed quality at every stage of the delivery lifecycle.
• Build and nurture a high-performing QA chapter, setting standards for craft, automation maturity, and continuous improvement.

AI & Future Ways of Working

• Lead the adoption of AI‑assisted testing practices — AI‑generated test cases, self‑healing automation scripts, intelligent defect prediction, and anomaly detection.
• Evaluate and pilot emerging QA tools and platforms relevant to the platform’s tech stack and scale.
• Establish guardrails and best practices for responsible AI usage within the platform testing lifecycle.
• Drive a shift toward smarter, faster feedback loops — reducing manual overhead without sacrificing coverage or confidence.

Platform Test Architecture

• Own test architecture decisions — framework selection, tooling standards, and CI/CD integration for the platform.
• Define coverage strategies across API testing, integration testing, contract testing, and non‑functional testing (performance, resilience, security).
• Govern test environment strategy, data management, and pipeline quality gates across the platform.
• Ensure test suites are maintainable, fast, and provide genuine signal — not just coverage metrics.

Engineering Excellence

• Set and enforce QA standards: code quality within test codebases, reporting cadence, defect lifecycle, and triage discipline.
• Drive shift‑left quality practices — embedding quality thinking into planning, design, and development, not just post‑build.
• Champion observability‑driven quality — using platform telemetry and production signals to inform testing strategy.
• Lead platform‑wide retrospectives on quality outcomes, escaped defects, and testing effectiveness.
