The Principal QA Engineer / QA Manager will define and drive quality engineering practices across critical product areas, with a strong focus on test automation and performance engineering. You will take ownership of the testing lifecycle, ensuring that complex features and changes meet demanding reliability and release standards. The role involves designing automation frameworks, validating high-volume transactional systems, and identifying performance bottlenecks before they affect users. You will work closely with Engineering, Product, and DevOps teams to embed quality throughout the development and deployment process. You will also leverage AI-powered tools to improve test creation, analysis, and defect investigation. Alongside hands-on technical ownership, you will mentor QA engineers, influence testing standards, and provide data-driven recommendations on release readiness.

Own the end-to-end testing lifecycle for new features and software changes, including test scoping, risk assessment, test coverage, and release readiness.
Design, develop, and maintain automated tests across API, user interface (UI), integration, and regression testing, while improving test reliability and reducing flaky tests.
Plan and execute load, stress, and performance tests for high-risk transactional workflows, including order processing, matching and settlement, account balances, deposits, and withdrawals.
Analyze performance test results, identify bottlenecks, and communicate actionable findings and recommendations to engineering teams.
Apply AI-powered tools to accelerate test generation, result analysis, and defect triage, and share effective practices with the wider team.
Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and establish reliable quality gates to support consistent release standards.
Lead testing activities for complex features and high-severity changes, providing evidence-based recommendations on release approval.
Own the test automation architecture, including frameworks, test data, and test environments, ensuring alignment with quality standards established by the Director.
Mentor and support QA engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, and collaborative pairing sessions.
Track and report quality metrics, including defect escape rates, critical-path test coverage, and release stability.
Communicate quality concerns and release risks to the Director and relevant stakeholders early, using clear data and analysis to support decisions.
