The posting

Waracle are looking for a Lead QA Engineer for an exciting new role joining our world-class digital technology consultancy and home to a diverse, smart, curious and ambitious community of specialists in technology-driven transformation. We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.

This is a Hybrid role working from our Sofia office.

Are you a collaborative quality leader who thrives on empowering teams, setting high standards, and shaping tech strategy? In this pivotal role, you'll act as a trusted advisor and mentor across multiple squads - balancing speed with quality, championing team wellbeing, and shaping our overarching quality assurance practices. You will have the platform to innovate with modern testing practices while guiding senior stakeholders and nurturing talent across our vibrant community

Key Duties and Responsibilities

As a QA Engineer at Waracle, you will play a vital role in ensuring the quality and care behind the digital products we build. Operating at an independent, impactful level, you will design and run thoughtful test journeys based on project requirements. If you enjoy collaborating across teams, building out automated testing frameworks, and helping welcome and support new team members, you will thrive in this role.

  • Establishing robust test strategies across squads and facilitating risk workshops to ensure cross-platform consistency.
  • Defining squad-level automation strategies and setting quality gates within CI/CD pipelines to champion high engineering standards.
  • Championing our Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) strategy across performance, security, and accessibility.
  • Establishing observability standards so systems are easily debuggable and testable in live production environments.
  • Leading QA workstreams with a focus on delivery outcomes, quality metrics, and, above all, team wellbeing.
  • Applying commercial acumen to advise stakeholders on thoughtful trade-offs between speed and quality.
  • Researching and driving emerging practices, such as AI-assisted testing, to help solve complex team and organizational challenges.
  • Mentoring and coaching engineers, representing QA in client and governance forums, and continuously evolving our practice standards.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven strategic leadership experience supporting multiple QA squads or workstreams.
  • Deep expertise in setting automation architectural patterns and clear coding standards.

  • Strong commercial awareness with a track record of balancing QA investment with business value.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
