About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced and hands-on QA Lead who can oversee our quality assurance strategy across web and mobile platforms. In this role, you’ll lead a team of QA engineers, ensuring both manual and automated testing processes deliver high-quality, performant, and reliable applications. You’ll drive best practices, mentor team members, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate has deep experience in test automation frameworks (such as Playwright or Robot Framework), solid manual testing expertise, and a strong understanding of performance testing tools (Locust, k6, JMeter). Strong English communication skills—both written and spoken—are essential to coordinate with distributed teams and present quality metrics to stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and implement the overall QA strategy, including manual, automated, and performance testing.
• Lead, mentor, and coach a team of QA engineers to improve testing effectiveness and career growth.
• Review and approve test plans, test cases, and automated scripts prepared by the team.
• Establish and enforce quality standards, testing processes, and best practices.
• Oversee the development and maintenance of automated test suites using Playwright, Robot Framework, or similar tools.
• Drive performance testing initiatives and analyze results using tools like Locust, k6, or JMeter.
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure timely and high-quality releases.
• Manage defect tracking, root-cause analysis, and ensure issues are resolved before production release.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and monitor their reliability.
• Provide regular QA metrics and status reports to leadership.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software QA, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior QA role.
• Proven expertise in both manual and automation testing across web and mobile platforms.
• Strong hands-on experience with test automation tools (e.g., Playwright, Robot Framework, Cypress, or Selenium).
• Solid understanding of performance testing concepts, methodologies, and tools.
• Proficiency in writing and reviewing test cases, test plans, and automated scripts.
• Comfortable scripting in JavaScript, Python, or a similar language.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies, version control systems (e.g., Git), and CI/CD practices.

Nice to Have

• Experience with API testing (e.g., Postman, REST Assured).
• Exposure to CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Background in a fast-paced, Agile environment or managing distributed QA teams.
