📌 About the role

We're looking for a QA Team Lead to own the quality of our web products end-to-end.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll shape testing strategy, stay close to the technical work, and grow a team you're proud of. If you enjoy combining deep QA expertise with the satisfaction of building people and processes, and want your work to have a direct, visible impact on what we deliver, we'd love to hear from you.

Ideally, you are

✔️ A clear communicator — you articulate thoughts, decisions, and directives precisely in both writing and conversation, so your team always understands the what and the why

✔️ Diplomatic, but delivery-driven — you navigate differing opinions across dev, design, and business teams with tact, while keeping everyone focused on targets and shipping on time

✔️ Positive and resilient — you bring a constructive, solution-oriented mindset, especially under pressure, and that energy lifts the people around you

✔️ Analytically sharp — you break down complex problems methodically, prioritize by risk and impact, and back your decisions with evidence

✔️ A natural leader — you mentor, unblock, and grow your team, earning trust through ownership rather than authority

• ✔️ English B1 +

📌 What you will be responsible for

• ✔️ Managing team of 4-6 remote QAs, align on requirements, resolve issues, and ensure product quality on delivery
• ✔️ Working closely with the dev, design and other business operations teams to ensure smooth product delivery and timely issues' solutions
• ✔️ Perform manual and automation testing of web applications for all levels - API, UI, E2E for company's web-sites
• ✔️ Write and maintain existing test documentation, incl. test cases, test plans, test strategies, etc.
• ✔️ Onboarding, mentoring and continuous knowledge-sharing within the team

📌 Nice to have
