Role Overview:

We are looking for an experienced QA Team Lead to own quality across a complex, multi-technology product suite. You will bridge the gap between hands-on technical testing and team leadership — driving test strategy, building out automated coverage, and coaching a team of QA engineers to raise the quality bar across every release. This role sits at the intersection of C++, .NET, Java, and modern web technologies, requiring broad technical depth and strong organizational skills.

Key Responsibilities:

Leadership & Strategy-

• Define and own the overall QA strategy for manual and automated testing across all product areas.

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of QA engineers, conducting regular 1:1s, code/test reviews, and performance feedback.

• Collaborate with engineering managers, product owners, and developers to embed quality at every stage of the SDLC.

• Prioritize the team's workload and manage QA effort across concurrent feature streams and bug-fix cycles.

• Report on quality metrics, test coverage trends, and automation ROI to engineering leadership.

Test Automation-

• Architect, build, and maintain automated test suites covering UI and backend APIs across C++, .NET, Java, and web stacks.

• Select and champion appropriate automation frameworks (e.g. Selenium/Playwright for UI; RestAssured, Postman/Newman, or equivalent for APIs; GoogleTest/Catch2 for C++ components; NUnit/xUnit for .NET).

• Increase automation coverage continuously — identifying gaps, writing new suites, and refactoring brittle tests.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, reliable feedback on every build.

• Define standards for test data management, environment configuration, and automation best practices.

Manual Testing-

• Lead and execute structured manual testing of UI features, ensuring functional correctness and consistent user experience.

• Verify application behavior against relevant system, application, and audit logs; escalate anomalies to development teams with clear evidence.

• Perform exploratory, regression, and edge-case testing across new and existing features.

• Triage incoming defects, reproduce consistently, and validate fixes prior to release.

Test Case Management-

• Create, review, and maintain comprehensive test cases and test suites in the team's test management tool.

• Ensure test cases are kept up to date as requirements and implementations evolve.

• Review test coverage against acceptance criteria and flag gaps to product and engineering stakeholders.

• Define and enforce consistent test case naming conventions, traceability, and documentation standards.

• 5+ years of QA experience, with at least 1–2 years in a lead or senior role.

• Proven track record designing and delivering automation frameworks for both UI and API testing.

• Strong proficiency in at least two of C++, .NET/C#, Java for writing and reviewing test code.

• Experience testing web front ends with modern automation tools (Selenium or similar).

• Solid API testing experience including REST endpoint validation, contract testing, and schema verification.

• Confident log analysis skills — reading application, system, and structured logs to diagnose defects.

• Experience maintaining and improving test cases in a test management tool (e.g. Xray).

• Excellent communication skills — able to present quality status clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable-

• Exposure to performance, load, or security testing disciplines.

• Familiarity with behavior-driven development (BDD) and tooling such as Cucumber.

• Experience working in regulated or safety-critical software environments.

• Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) for test environment management.

• Experience with FIX protocol or trading systems

What We Offer-

• A senior, high-impact role with genuine influence over engineering quality practices.

• A collaborative, multi-disciplinary engineering team building complex, real-world software.

• Competitive salary and discretionary bonus reviewed annually.

• Budget for professional development, certifications, and conference attendance.
