Analyze and optimize test coverage, identifying gaps across device types, features, and performance tiers to align testing with user demographics.
Drive continuous improvement in test documentation, defect triage, and regression analysis to reduce escaped bugs and improve release confidence.
Oversee automation strategy and roadmap, identifying high-value automation opportunities while ensuring manual testing complements automation effectively.
Integrate QA into CI/CD pipelines, maintaining efficient pre-release validation and post-deployment verification processes.
Leverage observability and customer feedback tools (e.g., APM, CSAT, app reviews) to surface quality issues proactively and inform QA priorities.
Define and monitor quality metrics, ensuring QA effectiveness is measurable and actionable across teams and releases.
Lead and mentor a cross-functional QA team, fostering accountability, technical excellence, and a shared culture of quality.
Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and release management to align QA processes with development velocity and business goals.

Minimum Qualifications:

8+ years in QA or software testing roles, including hands-on test design, execution, and automation.
3+ years in QA leadership or management roles, overseeing teams and frameworks.
Strong technical understanding of modern QA tools, automation frameworks, and scripting or programming relevant to testing.
Proven experience with both manual (functional, exploratory) and automated (UI, API, integration, E2E) testing methodologies.
Demonstrated success integrating QA with CI/CD pipelines and release processes.
Solid understanding of test management systems (e.g., TestRail) and version control (e.g., Git).
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate QA insights into business impact.
Proven ability to improve traceability, test coverage visibility, and cross-team accountability.

Preferred Qualifications:

Deep hands-on experience with automation stacks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium/WebDriver, Appium, or Pytest.
Experience scaling QA operations and automation frameworks in large consumer-facing or SaaS environments.
Background in mobile and web testing for educational or gaming products.
Familiarity with observability tools and APM platforms for post-deployment validation.
Experience establishing QA metrics and reporting frameworks that guide executive decision-making.
