AI overview

Lead the development and implementation of a cutting-edge quality assurance strategy while mentoring a team dedicated to ensuring high standards across multiple platforms.

What You’ll Do

Shape QA Strategy & Platforms

  • Define the future of quality: design and implement test strategies that keep our platforms secure, stable, and scalable.

  • Lead the evolution of test automation frameworks, regression testing, performance testing, and exploratory testing.

  • Own our QA tooling and infrastructure, making sure test automation is seamlessly integrated into modern CI/CD pipelines.

  • Partner closely with engineering and product leaders to ensure quality is built in from day one, not bolted on later.

Lead & Inspire a Distributed Team

  • Manage and mentor a team of 5–8 talented QA engineers, embedded across different product squads.

  • Be the team’s advocate and enabler: support their growth, unblock challenges, and create opportunities to shine.

  • Foster a culture of curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement.

  • Bring people together: drive knowledge-sharing and alignment across the three companies.

  • Ensure that QA is not just a safety net, but a driver of speed and innovation.

  • Experience as a QA Manager / QA Lead / Head of QA, ideally in a fast-paced, multi-product environment.

  • Deep knowledge of test strategies, automation frameworks, and QA platforms.

  • Hands-on experience with modern engineering practices: CI/CD, agile development, shift-left testing.

  • Strong leadership and coaching skills – you love helping people grow and succeed.

  • Excellent communication: you can speak “QA” with testers, “tech” with engineers, and “outcomes” with executives.

  • A passion for building high-quality products that users trust.

Why This Role Rocks

  • Strategic influence: You’ll report directly to the Group CTO and help shape QA across three growing companies.

  • Impact at scale: Our platforms are used by millions – your work will be seen and felt by real users every day.

  • Room to innovate: From new automation approaches to better test platforms, you’ll have the freedom to bring in fresh ideas.
