We are looking for an experienced QA Lead to work on a holistic pub-sub platform, with low-code features, that includes everything clients’ need to consume, enrich, and deliver event-data with secure and powerful SDKs in all popular programming languages.

The platform is trusted by leading brands worldwide to manage and optimize the delivery of data around the world to their web, mobile, and IoT (Internet of things) application data.

The company does the complex work to provide real-time data – reliably, globally, and at scale and speed.

The ideal job holder will be a competent Quality Assurance Lead with software development quality control & assurance experience, knowledge of automated test platforms, and DevOps/automated release processes.  The QA Manager role is the counterpart to our software engineers. The constructive challenge of every aspect of the software development lifecycle is key.

We are not looking for a tester but rather someone who will instruct the team on what to test, how to test, and when to test. The right candidate will be technically capable but also a clear communicator and influencer.

What You’ll Do

  • Build close relationships with internal and external stakeholders so that one can guide them what to test or improve, and why
  • Ensure that measurable quality standards are set and met throughout the software development lifecycle
  • Enforce left-shifting, quality-first approaches across the team
  • Support the team hands-on by integrating test frameworks, continuous integration systems, quality metrics, dashboards and other reporting
  • Make sure teams have the right functional and non-functional requirements, risk assessments, stakeholders, and architectural designs before they start to work
  • Take accountability for the quality of software produced by the team
  • Constantly improve measurable software quality and service delivery
  • The above list is not exhaustive. You will be expected to perform duties as necessitated by your changing role and the overall business objectives of the company, as directed


Requirements

We expect the candidates for the role to have:


  • Expert in software testing techniques including, but not limited to, test-driven development, behavioral-driven development, unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
  • Proven experience delivering high-quality outcomes in a software development environment
  • Experience with an object-oriented programming language and its test frameworks
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills to coach, teach and guide others
  • Expertise with continuous integration environments such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, Bamboo, or others
  • Experience with Linux and bash
  • Experience with containerisation using Docker
  • Advocate for modern development practices such as DevSecOps, GitOps, and continuous delivery

Nice to Haves

In addition to the above it would be advantageous for candidates to have some knowledge of the following:

  • Experience programming in either Java, JavaScript, C, C#, Objective-C, or Python
  • Experience with Selenium or other automated test tools
  • Experience with real-time data systems such as Diffusion, Kafka, or similar
  • Expertise with Terraform, Kubernetes, or other orchestration and infrastructure-as-code tools
