This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a QA Chapter Lead based in Italy.
This is a senior technical QA leadership role combining hands‑on engineering with responsibility for quality standards across multiple engineering squads. You’ll be embedded directly within one squad while also shaping QA strategy, automation, tooling, and testing practices across the wider engineering function. You’ll influence how quality is built into the development lifecycle, from acceptance criteria and automated testing to Definition of Done standards and CI quality gates. The role offers significant technical ownership without traditional people‑management responsibilities. You’ll collaborate with QA engineers, Product Owners, Tech Leads, and engineering leadership in an Agile environment. This is an opportunity to establish scalable QA practices and directly improve the reliability and quality of complex, data‑driven financial products.
Accountabilities:




- Work as an embedded senior QA engineer within one engineering squad, actively participating in sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, retrospectives, and other squad ceremonies.
- Define and agree on clear acceptance criteria with Product Owners before work enters each sprint.
- Design, write, maintain, and improve automated test suites across appropriate levels, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
- Own the squad’s Definition of Done quality gate and ensure agreed quality criteria are consistently met before releases.
- Define and maintain QA standards across the engineering function, including test-pyramid principles, automation tooling, naming conventions, coverage thresholds, and CI quality gates.
- Establish onboarding processes and baseline QA expectations for engineers joining the chapter.
- Lead a monthly QA Guild with the counterpart Chapter Lead to align standards, tooling, frameworks, and Definition of Done practice
