Role Description

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior QA Engineer / Quality Engineering Lead who can take full ownership of Quality Assurance across our entire product. This role is not about executing test cases; it is about architecting the QA strategy of a scaling SaaS company. You will audit our current QA landscape, define the long-term testing strategy, and implement a scalable QA framework that supports a rapidly growing product and engineering team. If you are the kind of QA expert who builds systems, not just tests, this role is designed for you.

What You Will Own

• Act as the strategic authority for QA, working closely with engineering leadership.
• Turn QA into a structured, measurable, and scalable discipline.

QA Strategy & Architecture

• Perform a deep audit of the current QA setup.
• Define a company-wide QA strategy (short, mid, long-term).
• Design a robust test architecture (test pyramid, shift-left, regression strategy).
• Define clear QA responsibilities between developers and QA.

Test Infrastructure & Automation

• Take ownership of existing Cypress and API test suites.
• Expand and modernize the automated testing infrastructure.
• Integrate tests deeply into CI/CD pipelines.
• Improve coverage, reliability, and execution speed.

Product Quality Ownership

• Build and maintain a comprehensive test case portfolio.
• Conduct exploratory and manual testing when necessary.
• Introduce modern QA practices including AI-assisted testing.

Engineering Collaboration

• Help developers produce testable, high-quality code.
• Establish testing standards and best practices across teams.
• Improve QA visibility, metrics, and release confidence.

Our Tech Stack

• Frontend: ReactJS
• Backend: Java (Quarkus)
• Testing: Unit: Mockito; API / Integration / E2E: Cypress
• Infrastructure: GitLab CI/CD; Docker

Qualifications

• 10+ years in Quality Assurance / Quality Engineering.
• 5+ years in automated testing for web or SaaS products.
• Strong experience with B2B SaaS platforms.
• Proven experience building QA frameworks or QA strategies.

Technical Expertise

• Deep understanding of test pyramid architecture.
• Hands-on with Cypress or similar E2E frameworks.
• Experience with API testing frameworks (RESTAssured or similar).
• Experience with performance & load testing (JMeter or similar).
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD testing integration.

Engineering Knowledge

• Experience working with Java-based backends and REST APIs.
• Ability to mentor developers on testing best practices.
• Experience implementing QA systems across distributed teams.

What Success Looks Like

• Week 1: Deeply understand the product architecture and QA setup; deliver initial QA audit and strategy outline.
• Week 2: Identify major gaps in coverage, testing workflows, and tooling.
• Week 3: Deliver full QA roadmap and implementation strategy.
• Within the First 3 Months: Document and systematize all product test cases; increase automated test coverage by 20%+; establish baseline performance and security testing; provide transparency into coverage gaps and system resilience; become the central authority for product quality.

Why This Role Is Unique

This is a rare opportunity to design QA from a strategic level in a growing SaaS company. You will have real influence on engineering quality, release processes, and product reliability.
