Job Description

Role Overview: This is a greenfield opportunity for you: you will take complete ownership of the software testing lifecycle (STLC) across the products, ensuring quality from requirements through release. You will work closely with Product and Customer Success teams to shape requirements, clarify acceptance criteria, and ensure smooth releases to customers. Additionally, you will mentor junior testers, introduce modern QA practices, and create a more structured, proactive approach to quality. Key Responsibilities: - Take full ownership of QA activities across the entire STLC, from requirement analysis to release readiness. - Plan, design, and execute effective test strategies across multiple products. - Mentor and coach testers to strengthen their skills and confidence. - Define and implement QA processes, documentation standards, and regression practices. - Partner with Product and Customer Success to shape requirements, acceptance criteria, and release planning. - Advocate for a structured release cycle, driving quality gates before production deployments. - Introduce modern QA practices such as exploratory testing, risk-based regression, and shift-left testing. - Evaluate and recommend QA tools for test management, collaboration, and defect tracking. - Contribute as a hands-on tester while guiding and supporting the team. What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days: - First 30 Days: Gain a deep understanding of products, workflows, and current QA practices. Begin building trust with teams and deliver visible impact by bringing order to daily QA tasks. - By 60 Days: Establish effective QA processes, mentor juniors, and build consistency across the QA team. - By 90 Days: Take full ownership of QA cycles from requirements to release. QA is seen as a proactive function with clearer regression coverage and improved communication with Product/Customer Success. What You'll Bring: - Strong background in manual/functional and API testing in fast-paced environments. - Ability to mentor junior testers and adapt practices to high-velocity settings. - Comfort working closely with cross-functional teams. - Hands-on mindset with the ability to lead functional test scripts and ensure thorough coverage. - Familiarity with test management tools and issue tracking. - Awareness of automation approaches and API testing tools. - Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Beneficial Skills: - Experience with AI products and complex systems with multiple integrations. - Domain knowledge in HR tech, recruitment, or staffing solutions. - Experience in product companies during scale-up stages.
