Job summary

Integra Partners is seeking a QA Lead to own the QA practice across product delivery, ensuring testability, timely test execution, and transparent release readiness.

In this role you will coach QA teammates, strengthen automation and regression coverage, and partner with Product Owners and Engineering to embed quality throughout the software development lifecycle rather than treating testing as a final activity.

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on software quality assurance experience across functional, integration, regression and end-to-end testing.
• Experience leading QA execution and mentoring testers or senior/lead resource responsibilities.
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum delivery and the QA role across discovery, development, testing, UAT and release.
• Demonstrated ability to craft test strategies and translate complex business workflows into thorough risk-based coverage.
• Experience managing defects and facilitating effective triage with Product and Engineering.
• Working knowledge of test automation concepts, frameworks, and CI/CD practices.
• Strong written and verbal communication, surfacing concerns early and communicating quality risk clearly.
• Strong ownership mindset, organization, follow-through in fast-moving environments with multiple priorities.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day QA practice and establish consistent expectations for test planning, execution, documentation, and release readiness.
• Ensure QA work begins when planned and that delays, blockers, environment issues, data needs, or scope gaps are identified and communicated immediately.
• Create transparency into what has been tested, what remains untested, current defects, quality risks, and confidence in release readiness.
• Hold QA team members accountable for execution commitments, timely updates, accurate status reporting, and follow-through.
• Coach QA team members on testing discipline, risk-based thinking, root-cause analysis, and stronger ownership of outcomes.
• Develop and maintain test strategies for new features, enhancements, integrations, defects, and platform changes.
• Partner with Product Owners early in discovery to identify test scenarios, data needs, and acceptance criteria before development completes.
• Ensure test cases provide adequate functional, integration, regression, negative, end-to-end, and workflow coverage.
• Coordinate test data, environments, integrations, and dependencies for successful QA execution.
• Confirm that critical workflows can be tested end-to-end before business UAT readiness.
• Use risk-based testing to prioritize high-value scenarios when time or environment is limited.
