QA Chapter Lead
Pubblicato il 17-10-2026 - Jobgether in Verona
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.
