Quality strategy — defining standards, coverage expectations, and quality gates across the platform
Test planning and execution — functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing across web, mobile, and backend surfaces
Release confidence — owning the go/no-go signal from a quality perspective before production deployments
Bug triage — assessing and prioritising incoming issues, working with engineering to route and resolve them
Test automation — identifying what can and should be automated, building and maintaining the tooling to support it
Cross-functional collaboration — working with product, engineering, and compliance to make sure quality is built in, not bolted on

Experience in QA with a strong engineering foundation — whether through a background in development, self-directed learning, or hands-on work with automation, infrastructure, or backend systems
A track record of taking ownership of quality as a domain, not just following a process someone else designed
Comfort operating autonomously — you will be given projects and goals, not step-by-step instructions
Strong systems thinking — understanding how changes propagate and where risk lives, not just whether the feature works in isolation
Familiarity with modern tooling and an active habit of optimising your own workflow, including with AI tools
Clear communication and the confidence to push back when something is not ready to ship

A high-ownership role in a growing product company
Direct access to leadership and real influence over how quality is approached
A team that takes engineering seriously and values people who look beyond their own plate
Flexible working, competitive compensation, and the opportunity to build something from the ground up
