QA Engineering Lead at Muse Group

Worldwide

<p>We’re looking for a <strong>QA Engineering Lead</strong> to raise the bar for quality across our web, mobile, and desktop products.</p><p>This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can build scalable test automation, turn quality into a measurable engineering discipline, and help teams ship with confidence. You’ll work across teams, influence engineering decisions, and build systems that make quality scale beyond the QA team.</p> <br><h3>Key responsibilities</h3> <p>You’ll own the quality engineering strategy across our web, mobile, and desktop products. Your goal is not to write more tests, but to build a system where effective tests are easy to create, trusted, and strong enough to gate releases.</p><p>You’ll work across engineering teams to:</p><ul><li>Build and evolve automation platforms, frameworks, and standards</li><li>Establish quality metrics and use them to drive engineering decisions</li><li>Improve test effectiveness, reliability, and feedback speed</li><li>Coach QA/SDET engineers and developers across teams without formal authority</li><li>Build tooling that enables developers — and AI coding agents — to create and maintain effective tests</li><li>Partner with engineering leadership on release risk and quality trade-offs</li></ul> <br><h3>Requirements</h3> <p><strong>What we're looking for:</strong></p><p><strong>Demonstrated impact: </strong>You have taken a team or organization from “tests exist but protect nothing” to automated testing that reliably gates releases — and can show the before/after in numbers: coverage, escaped defects, release cadence, flaky-test rate, or similar.</p><p><strong>Cross-platform automation: </strong>You have production experience across <strong>web, mobile, and desktop</strong>, with hands-on depth in at least two and architecture/review-level experience in the third.</p><ul><li><strong>Web:</strong> Playwright or equivalent at scale; maintainable architecture, parallelization, and a systematic approach to flaky tests</li><li><strong>Mobile:</strong> Maestro, Detox, Appium, or equivalent; release trains, staged rollouts, and reliable device/emulator CI</li><li><strong>Desktop:</strong> native applications across Windows/macOS/Linux; visual regression; C++/Qt is a plus</li></ul><p>Specific tools are less important than strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to choose the right approach.</p><p><strong>Quality &amp; CI/CD: </strong>You treat quality as an engineering metric. You’ve established baselines, tracked meaningful trends, and validated that tests actually detect defects — through mutation testing or equivalent practices. You have operated large automated suites as real CI/CD gates, including required checks, branch protection, reliability, and feedback-speed trade-offs.</p><p><strong>AI-assisted engineering: </strong>You have hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding and test generation (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a clear point of view on when generated tests provide real protection versus simply inflating coverage.</p><p><strong>Leadership: </strong>You grow engineers without needing line authority. You can point to people who became stronger automation engineers through your coaching. You can defend quality decisions with data and trade-offs, including knowing when to stop a release and when the risk is acceptable.</p><p><strong>English: </strong>Upper-Intermediate</p> <br><h3>Benefits</h3> null
