Job Description

Overview:
We are seeking a Senior QA Lead to provide hands-on quality leadership across two Agile/Scrum teams. This role is ideal for a seasoned QA professional who excels in manual testing, values collaboration and feedback, and enjoys mentoring others while maintaining accountability and transparency in their work.

• Collaborate with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Oversee front-end web testing and ensure UI/UX consistency.
• Support test case management using Azure DevOps (ADO) or open-source tools like Jira and Confluence.
• Guide the team in transitioning toward automation over time.
• Conduct SQL queries for data validation, including joins and aggregations.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to QA engineers.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
