Lead QA Engineer
Description
Headquarters: Remote (US) About the Role As a Lead QA Engineer, you'll own testing strategy and quality standards across our most important work; Deciding what should be automated, what needs a human eye, where the real risk is hiding, and acting on it. You'll work hands-on across both manual and automated testing, splitting your time based on what a given release actually needs, while mentoring other engineers and acting as the go-to voice on quality across projects. You've got the critical thinking skills to chase down a hard bug yourself, know when to ask for help and delegate, and the range to set direction for how the whole team approaches quality. You seek to help your coworkers and do so regularly. Key Responsibilities Lead test strategy and quality standards across multiple projects, deciding what warrants automated coverage versus focused manual and exploratory testing. Build and maintain automated test suites in Playwright, and use BrowserStack to validate compatibility across browsers, devices, and platforms. Define and run deep manual and exploratory testing on new, ambiguous, or high-change-rate work where automation isn't the right investment yet. Translate requirements into concrete test plans and acceptance criteria, catching gaps in the requirements themselves before they become gaps in the product. Act as the technical point of contact for quality with stakeholders: communicate risk, resolve disagreements about scope, and negotiate realistic testing timel --- Source: weworkremotely - Current
