Job Description
Quality Engineering Lead
Thrill
• Own the quality of released functionality end-to-end across multiple product areas • Join product discovery and specification work early to identify ambiguity, missing edge cases, inconsistent behavior, and quality risks before development starts • Review, create (if necessary), and maintain acceptance test cases for new features and changes • Build and maintain regression test packs for manual execution • Perform structured manual verification before release, together with Product Managers and Engineers • Define feature release readiness criteria and provide a clear quality sign-off or risk assessment before the release • Maintain a centralized view of test coverage across frontend and backend, including what is automated, what is not, where the gaps are, and what should be prioritized next • Work with Engineering Managers and engineers to reduce blind spots in automation coverage • Contribute directly to Playwright-based test coverage where useful, and be comfortable reviewing existing automated tests • Read and understand backend tests written in Java and identify missing quality coverage in backend-heavy features • Help define a practical, risk-based test strategy for different types of product changes • Track defects by feature and product area, identify trends, and report on recurring quality risks • Analyze escaped defects and production issues, then turn the findings into better specifications, stronger regressions, and improved automation priorities • Drive automated data reconciliation workflows to verify that data in product services and the data warehouse remains consistent • Define and maintain data quality checks that go beyond row counts, including field-level diffing, decimal precision validation, currency/value consistency, and referential integrity checks • Help implement automated quality gates that detect schema drift and backend changes that could break warehouse ingestion before code is merged • Partner with backend engineers and the data warehouse engineer to identify high-risk data models and pipeline changes, and ensure they are covered by appropriate checks
Job Requirements
- Strong experience in software quality, quality engineering, or test leadership in a product engineering environment
- Experience owning end-to-end release quality, not only executing test cases
- Strong understanding of how to test web applications across frontend, backend, APIs, and integrations
- Ability to work from product specs and convert them into clear acceptance criteria, test scenarios, edge cases, and regression packs
- Experience with automated testing for modern web applications
- Practical experience with Playwright, including the ability to contribute to or extend existing tests
- Ability to read and understand automated backend tests in Java
- Strong structured thinking and ability to identify product, process, technical, and data quality risks early
- Experience introducing quality metrics, reporting, and trend analysis that influence engineering and product decisions
- Confidence working closely with engineers, Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and data stakeholders in a collaborative way
- Good judgment on what should be automated, what should be manually verified, and how to balance speed with release confidence
- Comfortable being hands-on while also improving processes across teams
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Professional development opportunities
- Remote work options
