As our Lead/QA Lead, you will be responsible for implementing and overseeing a standardized QA process across our teams. You will establish both manual and automated testing frameworks to ensure comprehensive test coverage for all our products, including systematic trading components where unit tests may be lacking.
You will work closely with product and engineering teams to define testing strategies, ensure best practices, and lead a growing QA team. Initially, you will manage a small team (two direct reports), scaling it to 8-10+ members over time.

• Build and lead a QA team. Provide guidance, mentoring and support to QA engineers across teams and projects by providing technical direction and best practices

• Develop and implement a comprehensive QA strategy covering both manual and automated testing for backend services and research data pipelines.
• Develop and maintain test plans, test cases, and test scripts for various services and data workflows
• Ensure test coverage across functional, integration, performance, and security testing
• Collaborate with engineers, researchers, data engineers and product teams to define test requirements and strategies for code and research pipelines testing. Identify gaps in existing testing strategies and coverage and work with engineering teams to address them.
• Perform root cause analysis of defects and work with engineering teams to prevent recurrence
• Develop and maintain quality metrics to track software quality trends.
• Advocate for shift-left testing, ensuring issues are caught early in the development lifecycle
• Participate in architectural and design discussions to incorporate testability and automation
• Provide guidance on balancing automated vs. manual testing based on project needs.
