We provide company laptops and other equipment to support comfortable and productive work. Remote employees are also invited to our annual company trip and other team events. What Are We Looking For? We are looking for a Head of QA to lead and scale the quality assurance function across all platforms. This role combines strategic leadership with hands‑on technical expertise: defining and executing the QA vision, guiding a focused team of 3–4 QA professionals, and driving the adoption of AI‑powered testing practices. Whether you are an experienced QA leader or a strong QA Lead ready to step into a head‑level role, we would like to hear from you. Our platform supports payment orchestration, compliance automation, and multi‑brand gaming operations, where quality is mission‑critical. As Head of QA, you will transform the quality function from reactive to proactive, owning the QA organisation end‑to‑end and ensuring quality is embedded across the entire engineering lifecycle. You will define strategy, lead a small but impactful team, and leverage AI and intelligent automation to establish best‑in‑class processes that ensure our products consistently meet the highest standards as the organisation grows. Key Responsibilities Define and implement the organisation‑wide QA strategy, approach, and roadmap. Act as the primary escalation point for QA‑related issues, providing risk assessments and mitigation strategies. Oversee test planning, execution, reporting, and root‑cause analysis for all releases. Establish and monitor QA KPIs to measure product quality and drive data‑driven improvements. Advocate for quality across the entire software lifecycle—from design through post‑release monitoring. Partner closely with Engineering, DevOps, and Product to enable shift‑left testing and continuous delivery. Introduce and champion testing tools, frameworks, and methodologies, including AI‑powered testing platforms. Define and monitor reliability goals such as uptime SLAs and incident‑reduction targets. People Leadership Lead, mentor, and develop a small QA team, maximising impact through effective tooling, AI adoption, and clear processes. Drive performance management, career development, and skills growth. Foster a culture of ownership, continuous learning, and AI‑augmented quality practices across the wider engineering organisation. Technical Leadership Provide hands‑on technical guidance on test automation, CI/CD integration, performance testing, and release validation. Ensure adherence to QA standards, processes, and tools across all delivery teams. Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions). Champion API testing, microservices testing, and end‑to‑end testing strategies. Evaluate and adopt AI‑powered testing tools (e.g., self‑healing tests, AI‑generated test cases, intelligent test prioritisation). Leverage generative AI for test case generation, defect analysis, and predictive test selection while staying current with emerging AI‑in‑QA trends. What You’ll Do Inspire confidence through technical credibility and thoughtful leadership. Balance pragmatism with rigour, recognising when “good enough” is appropriate within regulatory constraints. Empower teams to take ownership of quality rather than enforcing it as a separate function. Communicate clearly, manage conflict effectively, and build trust across teams. Measure success through outcomes such as reduced incidents, faster releases, and improved customer satisfaction. What You’ll Bring Experience 4+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, including at least 1–2 years in a leadership or team lead role (QA Lead, QA Manager, or equivalent). Experience leading or managing a QA team, even a small one. Experience in regulated industries such as gaming, fintech, or healthcare with strong compliance awareness. Proven ability to implement QA strategies or frameworks from scratch or through transformation initiatives. Technical Expertise Strong understanding of testing methodologies including functional, non‑functional, automation, performance, and security testing. Hands‑on experience with modern QA tools such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Postman, JMeter, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions. Familiarity with AI‑assisted testing tools is a strong advantage. Strong understanding of CI/CD integration, automation frameworks, and release pipelines. Experience working with microservices architectures, cloud environments (AWS/GCP), and API testing. Proficiency in defect management, test metrics, risk‑based testing, and process optimisation. Leadership & Communication Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence cross‑functional teams and leadership. Strategic mindset with strong analytical thinking. Professional‑level English communication skills, both written and verbal. Nice to Have Experience with payment systems, gaming integrations, or multi‑jurisdictional compliance. Experience working with microservices architectures, cloud environments, and API‑driven platforms. Familiarity with Agile and DevOps practices. ISTQB Advanced certification or equivalent. Hands‑on experience with AI‑powered testing tools such as Katalon, Mabl, Testim, or Applitools. Experience using generative AI to support test creation and maintenance. Demonstrated track record of adopting emerging technologies and driving innovation in QA organisations.
