To strengthen our team in Milan we are currently looking for a:
QA Leader
You’ll be a senior individual contributor with real cross-team influence: the person who defines how we test, what we automate, and how quality becomes everyone’s responsibility rather than a gate at the end of the pipeline. You’ll support engineering teams in delivering high-quality software solutions.
We run Scrum with two-week sprints across multiple product squads building complex financial software — web applications (Angular / Java Spring Boot) and native mobile apps (iOS and Android).
Quality engineering is a key pillar of our delivery model: from acceptance criteria defined before a sprint begins, to automated gates in CI/CD, to structured regression across client environments. We’re looking for someone who can own and continuously raise that bar.
Main Activities
Test Strategy & Governance
Define and own the overall test strategy across squads — coverage targets, risk-based priorities, regression approach, and a Definition of Done with real teeth.
Facilitate Three Amigos sessions (BA + Dev + QA) before each sprint, ensuring acceptance criteria are written, testable and tracked in Jira before a single line of code is committed.
build upgrade and release checklists that prevent the kind of regression incidents that erode client confidence.
Automation & Tooling
Define and evolve the test automation framework end-to-end: architecture, tooling choices, standards, long-term maintenance.
Design and maintain CI/CD quality gates that block defective code before it reaches production, and define coverage standards across unit, integration, end-to-end and regression tests for both web and mobile.
Mobile Quality
Define and own the testing strategy for our native iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) applications — device/OS coverage matrices, automated test suites, and regression coverage across upgrade cycles and client-specific environments.
Cross-Squad Quality Leadership
Act as the quality authority across the engineering organisation — not through hierarchy, but through expertise and trust, which will be the key focus.
Running regular quality alignment meetings, coaching developers and QA engineers, and advocating for testability at the design stage before problems become expensive.
contribute to improving development and testing workflows in a modern engineering environment and actively participate in release validation, defect management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
Candidate's Experience and Qualifications
5+ years in software quality engineering, at least 2 in a senior or lead individual contributor role.
Experience in building automation frameworks from scratch
Hands-on experience with native mobile testing on iOS and/or Android (Appium, XCTest, Espresso or equivalent).
Experience or strong familiarity with Agile/Scrum environments and you understand where quality fits in the delivery cycle — not after it.
Demonstrated capability with Frontend automation for Angular/TypeScript (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright or equivalent)
Strong experience with web and API testing methodologies (Postman, REST-assured)
Proven ability with test management tooling (Jira Xray, Zephyr or equivalent)
Understanding of CI/CD pipeline integration and quality gate design
Proven knowledge of English language – written and spoken
Background in fintech, banking or regulated software environments is a genuine advantage.
Candidate's Skills and Personal Qualities
Ability to challenge existing practices constructively and propose improvements.
-
Ability to balance quality objectives with delivery timelines.
-
strong communication and collaboration skills.
-
Ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority.
What We Offer
Direct collaboration with engineering leadership and cross-functional product teams.
The opportunity to contribute to software solutions supporting investment professionals across more than 15 countries.
An engineering team committed to evolving its practices and continuously improving the quality of its products and processes.
Hybrid working arrangement based in Milan.
