Job summary

CoolGames is seeking a QA Lead to make quality visible across the company. You lead a skilled international QA team in a partly remote setup, staying hands-on to shape testing in an AI-assisted world.

You bridge QA with production, development and management, and own quality reporting and risk assessment. You will work closely with the QA Lead Specialist, split line management, and scale QA for multiple projects while maintaining rigorous standards.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in software testing with QA leadership experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
• Experience with Jira and TestRail or similar software.
• Experience testing across mobile, desktop, web, and social platforms in Agile.

Responsibilities

• Bridge QA, production, development and management. You turn test results into risk, status and clear go/no-go advice.
• Being the voice of QA inside and out. Making sure other disciplines understand what we do and why, and holding our standards in front of external partners and platform holders.
• Line management of the team - 1-on-1s, growth, workload and hiring.
• Weighing quality risk against business objectives: backing a calculated risk when it is the right trade-off, putting your foot down when it is not.
• Planning QA capacity across parallel projects and releases, and raising the flag early when quality is at risk.
• Owning quality reporting: release readiness, coverage, bug trends and what they mean for the roadmap.
• Challenging the team and finding the opportunities they are too close to the work to see.
• Helping the team find where AI genuinely accelerates testing, and where it does not, without giving up the fundamentals that make our QA strong.
