Job Description

Job Description
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on QA Lead to guide quality assurance across several Scrum teams. This is a hybrid role: you will mentor QA engineers, shape QA strategy, and stay hands-on with testing to keep our releases stable and our codebase healthy.

What You'll Do

  • Lead & Mentor: Support QA engineers across Scrum teams with onboarding, coaching, and growth. Occasionally participate in hiring.
  • QA Strategy: Define and drive a clear QA plan that improves product quality and influences key DORA metrics. Promote early testing and best practices in a trunk-based CI/CD environment.
  • Hands-On Testing: Stay close to the product by spending ~50% of your time on functional, regression, exploratory, and smoke testing. Lead by example.
  • Release Readiness: Oversee QA during release cycles—set criteria, assess risk, and ensure smooth deployments without gatekeeping.
  • Collaboration: Work with developers, product managers, and the automation team to plan and test features effectively.

How We Work

  • Frequent, small releases in a trunk-based CI/CD setup.
  • Automation handled by a dedicated team — you guide priorities, review coverage, and contribute where needed.
  • Focus on outcomes over ceremony: we value clarity, speed, and quality.
Qualifications

Must-Haves

  • 5+ years in software QA, with proven team leadership or management experience.
  • Strong people management skills: coaching, feedback, and team development.
  • Expertise in API & integration testing.
  • Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum and experience with CI/CD and trunk-based development.
  • Familiarity with tools like Jira, Git, and a test reporting/management platform (e.g., Allure TestOps).
  • Fluent Russian and good English (B2+).

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with test automation (e.g., Playwright).
  • Background in accounting or fintech.
  • Familiarity with AI tools.
  • Performance/load testing experience (e.g., k6, JMeter).
  • Knowledge of observability tools like ELK Stack, Sentry, or Grafana.
Additional Information

What we offer:

  • Growing international business with 10,000+ subscribers
  • Regular performance-based compensation reviews
  • 26 days paid time off
  • 1 additional day off for your Birthday
  • Remote office assistance
  • Service years recognition financial reward
