• Test Strategy & Planning: Define the test strategy for projects, determining the scope and types of testing needed (functional, regression, integration, performance, security, etc.) based on project risk and requirements.
• Test Case Development & Review: Oversee the creation of test cases and scenarios, particularly for complex or high-risk features, to guarantee thorough coverage.
• Automated Testing & Frameworks: Design, implement, and maintain automated testing frameworks to increase efficiency and consistency in testing
• Automated Testing & Frameworks: Design, implement, and maintain automated testing frameworks to increase efficiency and consistency in testing.
• Defect Management & Triage: Take ownership of the defect management process. Run defect triage meetings with project stakeholders to prioritize and decide on resolutions for defects. Work closely with developers to troubleshoot complex issues. Ensure critical defects are addressed and re-tested, and help assess the risk of any known issues before go-live.
• Performance & Security Testing: Plan and oversee non-functional testing such as performance, load, stress testing, and basic security testing.
• Client Collaboration & UAT: Be a primary point of contact for quality assurance in client discussions. Prepare test summary reports and quality metrics for client and management review, highlighting test coverage, defect trends, and product readiness. During User Acceptance Testing, coordinate the efforts: help prepare UAT test scripts with business users, guide them on how to execute tests, and ensure their feedback is captured and addressed.
• Continuous Improvement: After each project or major release, conduct a QA retrospective to identify what went well and what can be improved in the QA process.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 3-5+ years of experience in software testing/QA. A track record of leading QA efforts on large-scale projects or multiple simultaneous projects.

• Communication & Reporting: Excellent communicator with the ability to articulate complex defects or quality concerns in business-friendly language.
• Analytical and Problem-Solving: High analytical aptitude to not only find bugs, but also help diagnose root causes.
