We’re working with a growing B2B SaaS business that’s scaling up both its platform and engineering function and QA is a key part of that. They’re hiring a Lead Test Engineer to help shape their approach to test automation, quality strategy, and team enablement.
This is a hands-on lead role where you’ll own the quality roadmap, lead testing initiatives across squads, and mentor a small team of QA engineers. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with rolling up their sleeves in code, tools, and test frameworks.

* Take ownership of the company’s quality strategy and test automation frameworks
* Lead the QA approach across multiple cross-functional squads
* Work closely with developers to ensure robust test coverage across UI, API, and contract layers
* Maintain and evolve Selenium-based UI test suites
* Extend site monitoring and smoke testing coverage (Cypress-like syntax)
* Drive quality conversations across engineering and product
* Mentor and support mid-level QA engineers
* Occasionally get involved in manual verification where needed
What we’re looking for:
* Strong background in automated testing of modern web apps
* Deep experience with Selenium WebDriver (in any modern language)
* Confident with tools like Postman, Cypress, or Playwright
* Good grasp of SQL/MySQL and version control systems like Git
* Excellent communication and the ability to lead quality conversations across teams
* ISTQB Foundation or similar certifications are a nice to have
