Descrizione del lavoro

Orangepeople seeks a hands-on LeadQA/SDET to own quality engineering across iOS/Android apps, APIs, and backend services for a major sports team and arena. You will embed with product and engineering from sprint planning through production release, driving manual and automated testing and expanding automation.

You will lead QA across multiple pods, mentor engineers, and implement risk-based, AI-assisted testing strategies to ensure reliable releases and fan-safe experiences.

Competenze

• 7+ years in software QA or SDET roles, including 3+ years leading QA initiatives, release quality, or engineers across delivery teams.
• Demonstrated ability to design and code maintainable automation frameworks, not only execute prewritten test cases.
• Strong hands-on experience performing both manual and automated testing across iOS and Android, including exploratory and regression testing on physical devices and emulators/simulators, Appium automation, and cloud device platforms such as BrowserStack.
• Deep understanding of native mobile testing considerations including device and OS fragmentation, permissions, application lifecycle, installation and upgrade paths, interruptions, accessibility, network variability, and platform-specific behavior.
• Strong API and integration testing experience using RestAssured or comparable tools, including authentication, schema validation, error handling, data validation, and service dependencies.
• Experience with BDD using Cucumber and Gherkin, including feature design, step definitions, tags/hooks, scenario outlines, data tables, and the Cucumber Pickle execution model.
• Hands-on experience with a modern quality ecosystem that includes BrowserStack, Appium, Cucumber/Gherkin, Cucumber Pickles, RestAssured, TestNG, Allure, Jira, Git/Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or comparable technologies.
• Demonstrated AI fluency, including practical use of platforms such as OpenAI, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and comparable tools to generate, execute, maintain, and improve software tests and test automation.
• Working knowledge of unit-testing principles and frameworks, with the ability to collaborate with developers on test design, testability, mocks, and coverage expectations.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD workflows using Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of microservices, REST APIs, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures; familiarity with Kafka or comparable messaging platforms.
• Experience establishing release quality gates, facilitating defect triage, and communicating release risk and go/no-go recommendations to technical and business stakeholders.
• Proficiency with Git-based version control and branching or pull-request workflows.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Mansioni

• Embedded Sprint Quality & Test Leadership: Work closely with product managers, developers, designers, architects, and pod leads from sprint start to finish, making quality a shared team responsibility.
• Actively participate in backlog planning and refinement; provide testability feedback, clarify acceptance criteria, identify dependencies, surface risks, and define the required test approach before development begins.
• Translate user stories and technical designs into risk-based test strategies covering functional, integration, regression, usability, reliability, and failure-mode scenarios.
• Review feature designs and code changes for quality risks and automation opportunities; partner with developers on unit-test expectations and test data needs.
• Test features after developers merge code into the shared branch, validate acceptance criteria, execute targeted exploratory testing, and confirm readiness for broader regression and release.
• Lead, mentor, and establish consistent quality practices across QA engineers working within multiple pods such as Ticketing/Identity, Commerce/Payments, and Loyalty.
