What are you working on?
- The name of the project(s): Happy Color
- Platforms: Mobile
For which tasks (responsibilities)?
Product quality ownership
- Own the product-level quality strategy and its implementation roadmap.
- Define release-readiness criteria and provide an independent assessment of product quality.
- Take responsibility for acceptance testing of the product as a whole.
- Validate cross-domain flows across mobile clients, backend services, analytics, advertising, consent, payments, and other integrations.
- Identify systemic product risks that cannot be detected within a single engineering domain.
- Require teams to improve builds, test results, documentation, or other quality artifacts when they do not meet agreed standards.
Quality Engineering transformation
- Lead the transition from predominantly manual testing toward a balanced Quality Engineering model.
- Build sustainable E2E and regression automation for critical product scenarios.
- Introduce quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
- Improve test environments, test data, reporting, and automation stability.
- Introduce risk-based testing, shift-left practices, and appropriate AI-assisted QA tools.
- Reduce regression time and release uncertainty without sacrificing product quality.
Product Quality team leadership
- Build and lead the Product Quality team responsible for:
- product acceptance;
- critical regression;
- E2E testing;
- user-experience validation;
- E2E and regression automation.
- Hire, develop, and mentor manual QA, automation, and SDET engineers.
- Assess existing QA engineers and define appropriate development paths based on skills, motivation, and demonstrated results.
- Establish clear ownership, expectations, and measurable outcomes for every team member.
Matrix quality leadership
- Coordinate the quality function across Backend QA, Client QA, and other QA.
- Work with engineering leaders to ensure that component-level testing is completed before Product Quality acceptance.
- Establish common quality standards, metrics, and audit practices across QA teams.
- Conduct regular quality reviews and identify gaps in domain-level testing.
- Ensure that standards reflect the needs of all QA directions rather than one specific platform or domain.
- Act as the technical owner of QA standards or appoint and support an appropriate Quality Engineering Technical Lead.
Data-driven quality management
- Define and monitor meaningful quality indicators, including:
- escaped defects;
- critical regression coverage;
- automation stability and flaky-test rate;
- regression duration;
- release-blocking defects;
- defects at system boundaries;
- production and support trends.
- Use analytics, support cases, incidents, and production signals to identify areas requiring additional coverage.
- Present product-quality risks and improvement progress to engineering and product leadership.
What kind of professional are we looking for?
- 5+ years of experience in QA or Quality Engineering.
- 3+ years in a QA leadership or Quality Engineering leadership role.
- Strong product mindset, with the ability to identify user, business, and systemic risks—not just verify compliance with documented requirements.
- Proven experience transforming manual testing into an engineering-driven quality function.
- Experience building or significantly improving E2E and regression automation.
- Strong understanding of test automation architecture, CI/CD integration, test environments, and quality gates.
- Ability to review automation approaches, framework architecture, code quality, and engineering practices.
- Experience testing high-scale mobile applications or games.
- Strong knowledge of:
- mobile application testing;
- backend and API testing;
- distributed and cross-system scenarios;
- analytics validation, including Firebase;
- databases and SQL-based platforms;
- advertising and attribution systems such as Adjust or AppsFlyer;
- release and production quality management.
- Experience working with Android Studio, Xcode, Charles Proxy or similar tools, API clients, and mobile automation frameworks.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to influence teams in a matrix structure.
- Ability to make difficult quality decisions and clearly explain product risks.
- Russian — fluent.
- English — Intermediate or higher.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with ad-driven mobile products.
- Experience testing monetization, consent, GDPR/CCPA, payments, or analytics.
- Experience building SDET or automation teams.
- Experience applying AI tools to testing, test design, defect analysis, or QA operations.
- Experience working with incident, support, and production data.
What Success Looks Like:
During the first months, the Head of Quality Engineering is expected to:
- establish the Product Quality function and its responsibilities;
- define the interaction between Backend QA, Client QA and Product Quality;
- introduce transparent product-acceptance criteria;
- identify critical E2E and regression scenarios;
- create a prioritized automation roadmap;
- launch measurable improvements to automation, CI quality gates, and regression speed;
- provide leadership with a transparent view of product readiness and quality risks.
