QA Test Lead

We're looking for a QA Test Lead for our client in mumbai location who's passionate about quality; not just as a phase, but as a core

part of how great software gets built. In this role, you'll help shape what "great" looks like across our

engineering teams, including setting test standards, supporting engineers and making sure quality is

everyone's responsibility.

You'll be embedded in a collaborative environment where software is shipped fast, iteratively, and

often. Your work will focus on making sure things don't just work but work well together. You'll bring

clarity, structure and confidence to the way we test by balancing automation with human insight and

keeping the end-user in mind.

Your role would straddle multiple engineering squads, supporting with not just the QA strategy, but

personally leading the automated testing efforts as well. You'll bring your considerable knowledge of

test automation to help us build new products that are reliable, performant, and resilient.

If you're curious, love asking the awkward questions, and want to support software engineers build

and iterate quickly, you'll thrive here.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and uphold the standards for test quality across engineering squads, ensuring

consistency and confidence in our releases.

• Oversee the work of our Automation QAs/SDeTs, and manual testers.

• Write high quality integration and end-to-end tests across our software portfolio.

• Partner with engineers, product managers, and delivery leads to embed quality thinking from

day one, and not as an after-thought.

• Design and oversee test strategies that combine automation, exploratory testing, and

regression coverage.

• Drive the implementation and evolution of automated testing frameworks, ensuring integration

into our CI/CD pipelines.

• Own the structure and health of test suites and regression packs, helping teams keep them

lean, relevant, and valuable.

• Support squads in front-end, API, and end-to-end testing, using tools like Playwright,

Cypress, and other modern frameworks.

• Facilitate and promote BDD and 3-amigos sessions, helping clarify requirements and prevent

misunderstandings before they happen.

• Help engineers understand and own quality; coaching without gatekeeping, advising without

blocking.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure cross-squad functionality and

integration is properly tested.

• Get involved in the testing cycle, helping to investigate issues, write tests, support on manual

QAing, and signing-off changes.

Knowledge, skills and experience required

• Strong background in quality assurance across automated and manual testing.

• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playright), and API

testing tools (e.g. Postman, RestAssured).

• Confident writing automated tests in Typescript.

• Deep understanding of software development workflows, and how to embed quality within

them.

• You're comfortable performing and organising performance testing with tools such as K6,

JMeter.

• Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines and driving pipeline quality.

• Comfortable facilitating and contributing to BDD-style collaboration and 3-amigos sessions.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills – you're as comfortable pairing with an

engineer as you are working with a product manager.

• Inquisitive, pragmatic, and curious.

• A mindset that priorities impact, reliability, and learning over perfectionism or the process for

its own sake.
