You will be responsible for defining and evolving the QA strategy, improving automation maturity, and ensuring high release confidence across multiple product layers. This is not a coordination-only role.

• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, and Project teams to embed quality early in the SDLC.
• Improve production stability by strengthening shift-left practices.
• Participate in project discussions and provide quality risk assessment.

QA Leadership & Quality Ownership

• Lead and mentor QA engineers, fostering ownership and professional growth.
• Introduce and track quality KPIs.

Test Architecture, Reliability & Continuous Improvement

• Design scalable test architecture.
• Ensure high regression reliability and release readiness.
• Lead incident analysis and drive preventive quality improvements.

What makes you a GR8 fit:

Must-have

• 6+ years of experience in software testing.
• 2+ years in a QA Team Lead role with proven experience in a complex product environment.
• Strong experience in manual testing (Web, native, backend).
• Experience designing and implementing test strategies for multi-layer systems.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD processes and quality gates.
• Experience defining and tracking quality metrics.
• Strong leadership and stakeholder communication skills.
