What You’ll Do

- Own the QA function end-to-end: from test strategy to UAT definition, release readiness, and post-release health.
- Collaborate early with Product and Design to clarify requirements, foresee edge cases, and co-define testable outcomes.
- Define and drive UAT: Create business-aligned acceptance criteria and ensure features meet real-world use cases.
- Build a quality feedback loop that incorporates exploratory, automated, and regression testing seamlessly into CI/CD.
- Act as the guardian of the release, balancing release velocity with confidence in quality.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of QA engineers (manual + automation) to think like product owners and not just bug reporters.
- Champion QA as a design + product-first mindset, not just a gate at the end of development.

What We’re Looking For

- 6+ years in QA, with at least 2 years in a leadership or decision-making role at a SaaS or startup company.
- Proven experience in owning QA strategy for web or mobile platforms with real users and frequent releases.
- Solid ability to define UAT plans and align with product/UX for customer-centric validation.




- Experience setting up and scaling QA processes that work within agile teams (Jira, CI/CD, post-release monitoring).
- Confidence in influencing cross-functional teams and pushing back with data when needed.
- Excellent communication written, verbal, and cross-functional.

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with automation tools (Cypress, Playwright, Postman, etc.)
- Exposure to microservices architecture and API-first testing.
- Experience in tools like BrowserStack, TestRail, Sentry, Mixpanel for QA coverage and monitoring.

Why Join Us?

- You'll have a seat at the table for product and release planning, not just QA sign-off.
- Work closely with founders and senior leadership in shaping product quality.
- Build and mentor a QA culture that’s respected, not an afterthought.
- Be part of a mission-driven team solving meaningful problems at scale.
