How You’ll Make an Impact

• We’re looking for a Manager – Quality Assurance with a proactive and problem-solving mindset to lead and elevate quality practices across our software delivery lifecycle.


• In this role, you will own product quality end-to-end, ensuring every release meets high standards for reliability, performance, and user experience.


• In this role, you will drive test strategy, oversee execution, and partner closely with Software Engineering, Product Management, and DevOps Engineering to embed quality at every stage of development.


• Beyond execution, you will champion a shift-left culture, improving testability, accelerating feedback loops, and strengthening overall product robustness.

What You’ll Do

Quality Assurance:

• Define and implement QA strategy, standards, and testing frameworks (UI, API, performance)


• Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines


• Review requirements early to improve clarity and testability


• Lead end-to-end testing across functional, regression, integration, performance, and UAT


• Ensure features meet acceptance criteria before release


• Own defect lifecycle, including logging, prioritization, tracking, and resolution


• Partner with Engineering and Product Management to triage issues and drive root-cause analysis


• Conduct risk assessments and investigate production issues to prevent recurrence


• Define and maintain QA documentation and reporting (test plans, cases, defect reports, metrics)


• Define and enforce release quality gates (smoke, sanity, regression)


• Track and communicate quality metrics, risks, and release readiness


• Improve release processes to reduce defects and increase stability.

Managerial Responsibilities:

• Lead and develop a high-performing team with clear goals, KPIs, and accountability standards


• Manage team capacity, resource allocation, and delivery planning within approved budgets


• Participate in annual planning and forecasting processes


• Own hiring, onboarding, performance reviews, and individual development plans


• Ensure operational discipline, timely delivery, and quality standards


• Identify and escalate resource or budget risks impacting delivery


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

What We’re Looking For

Professional & Technical Strengths:

• Proven experience in software quality assurance across the SDLC in Agile environments


• Strong expertise in test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, REST Assured, Pytest, TestNG)


• Proficiency in API testing and RESTful services (e.g., Postman, Swagger)


• Experience with performance and load testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6)


• Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript)


• Solid understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and QA integration within them


• Working knowledge of databases and SQL for data validation and test setup


• Deep understanding of QA methodologies, test design techniques, and best practices (TDD/BDD, shift-left, test strategy)


• Experience with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, Bugzilla, TestRail)


• Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills


• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management abilities.

Leadership & Interpersonal Strengths:

• Ability to collaborate with multicultural and geographically distributed teams


• High degree of autonomy and accountability (we operate within a hybrid work environment)


• Strong attention to detail with a structured and methodical approach


• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, with the curiosity to investigate root causes rather than surface-level symptoms


• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document bugs clearly and convey test outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders


• Proactive and self-driven, comfortable working in fast-moving environments where things evolve quickly.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working in cloud-based environments (AWS/Azure/GCP)
