The QA Lead drives improvements in quality, productivity, and cost efficiency through AI-enabled QA practices and optimized processes, ensuring the timely delivery of scalable, high-quality software. As a hands-on technical leader, you champion AI adoption, enforce best practices, and elevate QA performance through influence rather than direct management.
What You Will Do
- Participate in defining and enforcing QA best practices across contributors
- Promote cost-aware, value-driven quality engineering
- Identify systemic quality issues and lead improvements in workflows, tooling, execution quality, and team capabilities
- Act as a technical authority for QA in the design and evolution of AI-assisted test strategies guiding both manual and automated testing approaches
- Champion AI-first QA practices, applying AI tools to address common QA needs and improve reusability of these with practical approaches for consistent velocity and quality improvements across contributors
- Perform manual testing using AI-assisted techniques (white-box and black-box)
- Design and implementing automated tests (e.g. Jest, Playwright)
- Use prescribed AI tools (e.g. Claude Code) to accelerate QA activities
- Review and continuously improve the quality of team outputs (stories, defect reports, test cases, automation, etc.)
- Provide hands-on training and coaching to team members on AI tools, test design, and automation
- Drive adoption of best practices in prompt design and context engineering
- Stay current with AI trends and introduce improvements
- Focus effort on protecting high-risk, business-critical workflows, while making intentional trade-offs in prioritising QA activities to balance critical versus non-essential product functionality, scope of regression risk beyond immediate changes, time and infrastructure cost required to validate
