Senior QA Lead

Tipalti is looking for a Senior QA Lead to act as a Quality Owner, driving scalable, consistent, and measurable quality across multiple development teams.

In Tipalti, quality is owned by development teams. The QA Lead ensures this ownership is effective, aligned, and continuously improving - by defining standards, enabling teams, and providing system-level visibility and risk assessment.

The QA Lead engages at key points in the development lifecycle, focusing on high-impact areas such as complex features, cross-team flows, and potential risk zones.

This role focuses on strategy, enablement, and system thinking, rather than hands-on execution of tests.

 

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Leading quality strategy across teams, including defining testing approaches across different testing layers
• Defining and driving quality standards, including Definition of Done and CI expectations
• Prioritizing involvement based on impact and risk, focusing on high-impact areas such as complex features, cross-team flows, and potential risk zones
• Establishing and monitoring quality metrics, and providing clear visibility into quality health
• Leading cross-team quality efforts, especially around integrations, shared flows, and areas with unclear ownership
• Building and maintaining a system-level understanding that enables early identification of gaps beyond individual team boundaries
• Guiding development teams in test design and coverage decisions, promoting strong quality ownership within teams
• Promoting effective and responsible use of AI in testing and quality processes
• Driving continuous improvement in quality practices, while acting as a knowledge center for quality and system behavior within your domain

About you 

• 7+ years of QA experience (Web-oriented) - must
• 2+ Previous experience as a QA lead or tech lead - must
• Strong understanding of modern testing approaches (shift-left, CI/CD, test pyramid)
• Experience defining testing strategies and improving quality practices across teams
• Experience influencing design and identifying gaps early in the development lifecycle
• Strong system thinking and ability to understand cross-team dependencies
• Ability to prioritize effectively and make decisions based on impact and risk
• Ability to influence teams without direct authority
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (Selenium WebDriver, Playwright or similar) – an advantage
• Experience in backend / API testing – an advantage
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices - an advantage
• Experience with a relational database - an advantage
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented and organized
• Excellent problem solving and troubleshooting skills
• Strong communication skills in English (written and verbal)
