## Job description

## Overview

Our client is a high-growth regional SaaS platform, seeking an experienced QA Lead (Automation & Manual) to direct its software quality strategy and testing ecosystem.  In this role, you will partner closely with engineering leaders to establish testing standards and maintain high product excellence across fast-moving feature release cycles. This position is ideal for a hands-on QA leader who excels at bridging technical quality execution with business-critical outcomes.

- Drive multi-tiered, continuous automated regression testing strategies alongside structured pre-release and exploratory testing programs.
- Define and enforce release quality policies, risk-based deployment gates, and automated test suite criteria to safeguard production releases.
- Establish clear testing guidelines and platform standards, enabling application engineers to write and execute robust feature tests.
- Coordinate cross-functional bug triage, defect lifecycle management, and post-release quality reviews to drive continuous process improvements.
- Translate complex software quality metrics into actionable business health signals and operational reporting for executive leadership.

## What You Will Need

- 8+ years of total experience in software quality engineering and test automation, including experience a team leadership or strategic management capacity.
- Proven track record of scaling test automation platforms, CI/CD integrations, and flaky-test management policies across multi-service SaaS products.
- Demonstrated experience designing tiered regression strategies that maintain fast deployment velocity without compromising quality coverage.
- Strong ability to communicate technical software issues in terms of business impact and user experience to non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience operating in agile, fast-paced shipping environments with rapid feature turnarounds and evolving specifications.
- Deep conviction in quality governance and the authority to confidently evaluate and gate releases when quality standards are not met.

  - 11,000+ candidates in their talent community across APAC
  - However, headcount declined 22.2% YoY to 4 employees (as of latest data), indicating a lean, focused team.

- **Unique perk**: The company uses AI tools to support hiring (resume review, analysis) but notes that final decisions are made by humans – transparency in their own hiring process.
- **Impact**: As a small team, employees can directly shape the company’s growth and have a tangible impact on candidates’ careers and clients’ businesses.
