About the Role
We are looking for a Product QA Lead who will take complete ownership of the product's
quality, from the initial requirement and code commit all the way through release and
production.
This is not just a testing role. We are looking for someone who can act as a technical QA
architect, quality decision-maker, process owner, and people leader. You will be
responsible for building a strong quality culture across the organization and ensuring that quality
is considered at every stage of product development.
Responsibilities
1. End-to-End Quality Ownership – Own product quality across requirements,
development, testing, release, and production.
2. Scalable Automation – Build and maintain robust automation frameworks and integrate
them into CI/CD pipelines.
3. Quality Gates & Release Decisions – Define release criteria, assess risks, and
confidently recommend or stop releases based on quality.
4. Data-Driven Quality – Track metrics such as defect leakage, test coverage, automation
coverage, resolution time, and production issues.
5. Systems Thinking – Look beyond functional testing and cover performance, security,
integrations, edge cases, reliability, and UX.
6. Team Leadership & Mentorship – Lead, mentor, and upskill QA engineers while
building a strong automation-focused QA team.
7. Quality Advocacy – Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams, challenge quality
risks, and make quality a shared responsibility.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Here are the 5 non-negotiable skills we are looking for:
1. Strategic Automation & CI/CD Expertise: You know how to architect scalable
automated testing frameworks and bake them directly into the deployment pipeline.
2. The Authority to Push Back: You have the diplomatic tact to hold engineering and
product teams accountable, and the confidence to halt a release if it isn't ready.
3. Systems Thinking: You don't just hunt for broken buttons. You look at the whole
picture—performance under load, security, edge cases, and user experience.
4. Data-Driven Decision Making: You rely on concrete metrics (defect leakage, test
coverage, time-to-resolution) over "gut feelings" to prove product health.
5. Team Leadership & Mentorship: You have a proven track record of upskilling
engineers, transitioning manual testers to automation, and building high-performing QA
squads.
Qualification:
Bachelors or master's degree in computer science, information technology or a
related field
