If you’re someone who thrives on making sure that every piece of software is flawless, then our client has a role that’s perfect for you. We’re searching for a Head of Quality Assurance (aka The Quality Guardian) to lead our QA efforts and ensure that our products are as reliable as they are innovative.

Imagine being at the helm of a quality assurance team where your leadership ensures that our customers receive nothing short of excellence. As the Head of Quality Assurance at our client, you’ll be responsible for shaping the QA strategy, leading a team of dedicated QA professionals, and ensuring that our products exceed expectations. This role isn’t just about catching bugs—it’s about building a culture of quality that permeates every aspect of our development process.

  • Process Improvement and Automation:
    • Identify opportunities to improve QA processes and implement best practices that enhance efficiency and effectiveness. You’ll introduce automation tools and methodologies to streamline testing and reduce manual efforts.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
    • Work closely with development, product management, and other departments to ensure that quality is built into every stage of the software development lifecycle. You’ll be the advocate for quality, ensuring that it’s a priority for everyone involved.
  • Risk Management and Problem Solving:
    • Anticipate potential quality issues and proactively address them to ensure that products are delivered on time and without defects. You’ll be responsible for identifying risks, developing mitigation strategies, and solving problems as they arise.
  • Continuous Improvement Advocate:
    • Promote a culture of continuous improvement within the QA team, encouraging feedback, learning, and adaptation. You’ll ensure that the team is always looking for ways to enhance their processes and outcomes.
  • Quality Metrics and Reporting:
    • Establish and monitor key quality metrics to assess the effectiveness of QA processes and the quality of our products. You’ll provide regular reports to stakeholders, highlighting areas of success and opportunities for improvement.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • QA Mastery: Extensive experience in quality assurance, including a deep understanding of QA methodologies, tools, and best practices. You should be well-versed in both manual and automated testing processes.
  • Leadership Excellence: Proven experience leading and mentoring QA teams, with a track record of delivering high-quality software products. You’re the kind of leader who can inspire and guide a team to achieve their best work.
  • Process Optimization: Strong background in process improvement, particularly in implementing automation and streamlining QA workflows. You’re always looking for ways to make testing more efficient and effective.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Exceptional ability to work with development, product management, and other teams to ensure quality is a priority throughout the software development lifecycle. You make quality everyone’s responsibility.
  • Risk Management Skills: Experience in identifying and mitigating risks that could impact product quality or timelines. You’re proactive in addressing potential issues before they become problems.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in fostering a work environment that is both productive and enjoyable. If you can lighten the mood during a tough bug hunt, you’re our kind of leader.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in quality assurance leadership is also valued.
  • Certifications in QA, automation testing, or relevant methodologies are a plus. If you’ve contributed to open-source QA projects or published papers on quality assurance, that’s a bonus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience in quality assurance, with at least 3-5 years in a leadership role such as QA Manager, Senior QA Engineer, or Head of Quality Assurance. You’ve successfully led teams that have delivered high-quality software products.
  • Proven experience in implementing and scaling QA processes in fast-paced environments, particularly in industries such as SaaS, fintech, or healthtech.
  • Experience with automation tools like Selenium, JIRA, TestRail, or similar, and a solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
