About the Role

You will establish and scale Quality Assurance as a cross-cutting engineering capability across multiple cross-functional Scrum teams. Your mission is to enable teams to own quality end-to-end, build a scalable QA platform and operating model, and drive automation, AI adoption, and engineering best practices. You will act as a Functional Lead for QA Engineering, ensuring alignment, standards, and quality consistency across all teams.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement a scalable QA operating model across multiple teams.
• Establish clear QA standards, processes, and governance.

• Ensure consistent QA practices, tools, and quality standards across all teams.
• Act as the central point of coordination for QA topics across engineering.
• Enable development teams to take shared ownership of quality (shift-left).
• Collaborate closely with Lead Devs, DevOps Engineers, Technical Product Managers.
• Provide training, coaching, and guidelines for QA best practices.
• Reduce dependency on centralized QA execution through enablement.
• Design and drive test automation strategies (smoke, regression, API, E2E).
• Build reusable QA frameworks and integrate them into our Engineering Platform.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, YAML).
• Ensure scalability and maintainability of automation across teams.
• Evaluate and implement AI-powered QA solutions, such as test generation, regression automation, and test coverage analysis.
• Use AI to improve efficiency and scalability of QA across multiple teams.
• Define and enforce quality gates (e.g. SonarQube, pipeline checks).
• Establish and track QA metrics (coverage, defects, release quality, etc.).
• Implement monitoring, logging, and feedback loops for production quality.
• Ensure robust systems via performance, load, and security testing strategies.
• Build and develop the QA team as it grows.
• Define specialization areas (e.g. automation, performance, exploratory testing).
• Mentor QA engineers and support their career growth.
• Ensure high-quality execution and continuous improvement of QA practices.
