Full Job Posting

Key Responsibilities 🗝️

  • Finding where quality breaks down 🔍 – Assess problem areas across the product and the engineering process, and work out where the real risk is concentrated.
  • Building the safety net 🛡️ – Design and maintain regression test plans that give the team the confidence to ship at pace.
  • Coaching engineers to test 🎓 – Train and support engineers so that good testing happens inside the pull request, which is what makes Quality Assistance actually work.
  • Solving the hard cases 🧩 – Devise tools and approaches for the complicated scenarios that standard testing patterns can't reach.
  • Building reliable test environments 🛠️ – Work with third-party tools to create mock systems and dependable test scenarios for the parts of the platform that are hardest to get at.
  • Raising the bar across the SDLC 📈 – Introduce and embed quality best practices at every stage of the software development life cycle.
  • Reporting on quality 📊 – Track and report the metrics that show how healthy the product really is, then use them to find the next process improvement.
  • Building the team 🌱 – Grow a team of two to four people, starting with the hiring.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise 🚀

  • Quality Assistance 🧪 – Experience embedding quality practice inside engineering teams, where the engineers do the testing and your job is to raise their ceiling.
  • Test Strategy & Regression Planning 📋 – You've designed testing strategy and regression plans from a blank page, for a product already in customers' hands.
  • Test Tooling & Mocking 🔧 – Comfortable with third-party tools for building mocks and dependable scenarios across complex or awkward systems.
  • Compliance Experience ✅ – You've worked inside a compliance-driven organisation, and you understand how compliance gets maintained within a platform over time rather than signed off once.
  • Metrics & Reporting 📈 – You can define and report the quality metrics that give leadership a genuine read on product health.
  • Teciuca
  • A Natural Teacher 👩‍🏫 – You get real satisfaction from raising the skill level of the engineers around you, and you're patient with the people who need it most.
  • Highly Collaborative 🌊 – You work inside engineering every day, alongside product and design, and you treat quality as something the whole team carries.
  • Process-Minded 🎯 – You spot the opportunities to improve how we work across the SDLC, and you know how to land a change once you've found it.
  • Kind & Supportive ❤️ – You build a positive, respectful culture around you, lifting others up and working with humility.
