• Deliver clear, actionable QA reporting to help the team and leadership track progress
• Provide quality-focused feedback to engineers and influence better engineering practices
• Identify opportunities to improve test infrastructure, test data management, and cross-team collaboration

What We Are Looking For

• At least 6 years of experience in software quality assurance, including at least 2 years in a leadership role
• Strong foundation in both manual testing and test automation (e.g. API, UI, CI/CD integration)
• Experience working with cross-functional teams in agile, fast-paced environments
• Ability to balance near-term delivery needs with longer-term quality improvements
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence engineers and product managers alike
• Skilled in designing QA processes, writing clear documentation, and improving reporting systems
