## About the role

As a Lead QA Engineer, you'll own testing strategy and quality standards across our most important work; Deciding what should be automated, what needs a human eye, where the real risk is hiding, and acting on it. You'll work hands-on across both manual and automated testing, splitting your time based on what a given release actually needs, while mentoring other engineers and acting as the go-to voice on quality across projects.

## What they're looking for

- 6-8 years of experience in software quality assurance or testing, ideally with exposure to consulting or multi-stakeholder environments
- Strong, hands-on experience with Playwright for building and maintaining automated test suites and frameworks
- Experience using BrowserStack (or a comparable cross-browser/device testing platform) to validate compatibility across platforms
- Deep grounding in manual, exploratory, and regression testing, with the judgment to know when automation is and isn't the right investment
- Proven ability to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete, actionable test plans and acceptance criteria
- Strong Jira practice: writing tickets so well that no follow-up or clarification is needed, using issue-linking for traceability, and spotting workflow friction before it becomes a team-wide problem
