Full Description

Required Qualifications

• ● 6+ years of experience in software testing / quality engineering
• ● 3+ years leading QA teams or acting as QA Lead
• ● Able to drive large test volumes — new features can generate ~500-1,000 test
• cases and a product line carries 2,000–4,000 regression cases. You can explain
• how you'd produce and manage that with AI, templates and prioritisation
• ● You estimate testing effort yourself and drive the team to meet the estimate

● Strong hands-on experience with

• Test automation

• Designing test matrices across multiple OS versions, hardware

• configurations, and storage targets

• Regression strategy

• ● Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) to improve

• QA workflows

• ● Experience reviewing requirements and identifying testing risks early

• ● Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills

• ● Experience mentoring junior and mid-level QA engineers

• ● Comfortable working in fast-moving environments with evolving priorities

• ● Good communication skills in English

Desired Qualifications

• ● Hands-on testing experience with backup/recovery products
• ● Experience with cloud platforms, backup/storage products, virtualization, or
• infrastructure-related software
• ● Experience improving release quality and reducing defect leakage
• ● Experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) to improve
• QA workflows
• ● Experience building automation frameworks or improving testing architecture

Responsibilities

1. Quality Ownership

• ● Own release quality for your product/team
• ● Define testing scope based on risk, timelines, and business priorities
• ● Ensure only production-ready features are released
• ● Participate actively in planning, requirement reviews, and release discussions
• ● Identify quality risks early and drive mitigation plans

2. Team Leadership

• ● Lead and mentor QA engineers across manual and automation testing (manage 2
• separate teams with 3-4 people each)
• ● Hire for your teams, set goals and KPIs, run regular 1-1s, and make performance

2. Decisions

• ● Create a strong culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
• ● Improve team efficiency and execution quality

3. Testing & Automation

• ● Plan and drive test-case production at scale using AI-assisted generation with
• review discipline; own per-engineer throughput targets
• ● Define and improve regression strategies
• ● Drive automation for UI, API, and integration testing
• ● Improve CI/CD quality workflows and release confidence
• ● Optimize test execution time while maintaining meaningful coverage
• ● Support exploratory, risk-based, and customer-focused testing approaches
• ● Dedicate approximately 30–40% of your working time to hands-on QA activities,
• including reviewing product requirements and specifications, creating and
• reviewing test cases, collaborating with IT on test environments, investigating
• issues, and supporting testing activities when needed

4. Customer & Product Focus

• ● Work closely with Product, DEV, and Support teams
• ● Analyze production defects and customer feedback to improve test coverage
• ● Drive root-cause analysis and defect prevention practices
• ● Focus on customer-perceived quality, not only internal QA metrics

5. Process & Continuous Improvement

• ● Help establish practical QA processes that teams actually follow
• ● Track quality KPIs and testing effectiveness
• ● Improve release readiness, test planning, and defect management
• ● Introduce AI-assisted QA workflows where they provide real value
