What You’ll Do
- Own test strategy & plan: Define scope, approach, entry/exit criteria, environments, data, and timelines per release/sprint.
- IC- Individual contributor and own end to end testing and signoffs from UAT.
- Azure Boards: Create/maintain testing Epics/Features/Stories, link defects, manage queries/boards, and report status using dashboards.
- Azure Test Plans: Build test suites (static/requirement-based), write high-quality test cases with shared steps/parameters, manage runs, and track outcomes.
- Defect management: Run daily triage with Engineering/PO, prioritize via impact/severity, ensure clear, reproducible bugs with root-cause notes.
- Risk-based testing: Drive coverage for high-risk areas; ensure traceability (Req → Test → Defect) and measurable readiness.
- Stakeholder communication: Provide crisp, data-driven updates (go/no-go, risks, mitigations) to Product/Eng leadership.
- Lead automation collaboration: Coordinate with the automation engineers (e.g., Playwright/Selenium, API tests) to identify candidates for automation, review test design, and align on coverage.
- Quality gates & governance: Enforce DoR/DoD, entry/exit criteria, and sign-off checklists; contribute to release readiness.
- Mentor & upskill: Coach testers on test design, exploratory testing, and ADO best practices; review test artifacts.
- Non-functional awareness: Collaborate on smoke, regression, UAT, compatibility, accessibility, and basic performance checks (partnering with specialists where needed).
- Documentation: Maintain RTM, test summary reports, and knowledge base of known issues/workarounds.
Must-Have Skills & Experience
- 10+ years in software testing with 3+ years leading a QA team or workstream.
- Strong articulation and written communication—able to translate complex issues into clear, executive-friendly updates.
- Attention to detail with high standards for test case quality, reproducibility, and evidence.
- Hands-on with Azure DevOps:
- Azure Boards: work item hierarchy, queries, dashboards, reports.
- Azure Test Plans: requirement-based suites, shared steps/parameters, configurations, manual runs, and analytics.
- Proven defect triage leadership across cross-functional teams.
- Solid grounding in test design techniques (equivalence, boundary, state transition, combinatorial, exploratory).

- Exposure to test automation leadership (identifying candidates, reviewing scripts/coverage, aligning on frameworks and CI usage).
Nice-to-Have
- Familiarity with UI automation (Playwright/Selenium), API testing (Postman/REST Assured), and CI (Azure Pipelines/GitHub Actions).
- Accessibility basics (WCAG), cross-browser/device testing, and test data management.
- Knowledge of performance testing workflows (e.g., Azure Load Testing/JMeter) and security testing fundamentals.
- Domain experience in SaaS/enterprise platforms (B2B, workflows, integrations).
Tools You’ll Use
- Azure DevOps (Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Test Plans)
- Postman/Swagger for API validation
- Browser dev tools; device/emulator stacks
- Test management & reporting add-ons as needed
