A new era has begun in private equity - with leading players increasingly looking to broaden their investor base to include smaller investors and reduce dependency on large, demanding and sometimes competing institutional LPs. And that is what we set out to do in 2019 - we provide an easy to use digital platform, enabling top-tier private equity funds access to capital from private, smaller institutional investors.
We're now a fully remote team of 80+, with hires from UBS, Bain & Co, BCG Digital Ventures and more, and we've already opened up a pool of $50tn underserved capital - we're scaling this year to do even more, and looking for talented folk to join us on our journey.
What is the role?
We're looking for our first QA Lead - someone who will improve the speed of delivering new features and products by setting up our testing strategy, implementing QA testing processes, and automating as much of this as possible. You'll collaborate with many teams within Titanbay to make improvements across the testing pyramid hierarchy. You'll bring a wealth of experience and confidence into the role, and coach our engineering team in best practices like TDD and BDD where possible too.
Responsibilities will include:
- Contributing to a culture of software quality best practice, coaching engineers where possible
- Taking ownership of the QA function within Titanbay, working closely with a team of 2 QAs to build and maintain frameworks for testing, build end-to-end automated tests, and maintain load testing frameworks
- Building a roadmap and process for iterating tests and writing new test cases
- Managing and mentoring a growing team of QAs
Requirements
- Extensive experience in QA team management and technical leadership, covering a wide range of testing and the pros and cons of various types - manual, automated unit, pair, BDD, API, stress, performance, etc
- Previous experience building testing as part of a CI/CD pipeline
- Ideally, experience with a start-up or smaller company in the past, or at least enthusiasm to get stuck into projects from the get go and make things work
- Excellent communication skills - you'll document testing requirements, test cases and bugs, liaise with team members in technical and non-technical teams, and mentor and develop the QAs in your team, as well as take responsibility for hiring QAs as we scale
- Confidence with SQL and scripting languages like Python
- Comfort working as part of a fully remote and distributed team, and managing a distributed team
- A proactive approach, bringing new ideas to the team, and clearly organising complex information to aid communication across team
