About the Company
Wedo has partnered with an innovative InsurTech company looking to hire a Senior QA Engineer to join their 60-strong QE community of practice.
Our client is building cutting-edge software leveraging SaaS, Cloud, Data Management, Analytics, AI, and Machine Learning. This is a Greenfield SaaS solution, offering the opportunity to take ownership of test infrastructure, tooling, and services from the ground up.
About the Role
They’re looking for a technical QA leader with a quality-first mindset, someone who sees the bigger picture and understands the customer impact of engineering decisions.
You’ll be responsible for driving continuous integration and delivery, implementing a robust testing strategy across the test pyramid, and reducing reliance on large end-to-end (E2E) tests. As the product moves into production, your focus will shift toward production readiness, owning testing across observability tooling, security validation, recovery procedures, performance & load testing, and disaster recovery planning.
You’ll be the voice of risk in engineering, able to assess, articulate, and influence decisions around test-related risk, and make clear judgments on what is and isn’t acceptable.
You’ll act as a quality champion: running workshops, upskilling teams, promoting best practices, influencing engineering culture, and leading efforts to increase non-functional test coverage.
The right person will be equally confident in functional and non-functional areas—this is not a pure performance testing role.
