Job description

Role Summary

FinOpsly is scaling rapidly—and with that growth comes the need to build the scaffolding that lets us move fast and safe. We are seeking a hands-on engineering lead to establish and drive our quality assurance practice for a multi-tenant SaaS platform. This is not just a testing role—you will be responsible for owning application quality across the stack (frontend, backend, APIs, infrastructure, and AI / ML workflows), while mentoring engineers and embedding QA into every stage of the development life cycle.

As a senior member of the team, you'll combine hands-on automation expertise with leadership in defining QA processes, building reusable frameworks, and ensuring that every release is stable, performant, and secure.

What You'll do :

  • Define and implement the QA strategy, quality gates, and processes for SaaS application development.
  • Build automation frameworks for :
  • Frontend apps (e.g., React, Angular) with Cypress / Playwright (UI + regression).
  • Backend services & APIs (e.g., Node.js, Python, PHP, Java) with Postman, REST Assured, or PyTest.
  • Databases & storage (e.g., SQL Server, Snowflake, cloud object stores) to validate data integrity.
  • Infrastructure / DevOps (cloud environments, Terraform / CloudFormation, Docker / Kubernetes) through IaC validation and smoke tests.
  • AI / ML pipelines (Python, TensorFlow / PyTorch, LLM integrations) using frameworks like Great Expectations or PyTest.
  • Partner with engineering, DevOps, and product teams to ensure quality is embedded into CI / CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab).
  • Establish and track QA metrics (defect leakage, test coverage, pass / fail trends) through dashboards and reports.
  • Lead defect triage, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement loops.
  • Mentor junior QA engineers and collaborate across teams to promote a culture of quality-first development.

What You'll Bring

  • 5–8+ years of QA experience, with at least 2–3 years in a senior or lead QA role.
  • Strong track record ensuring quality in SaaS applications.
  • Hands-on experience with UI, API, and backend automation.
  • Familiarity with CI / CD pipeline integration for automated QA.
  • Understanding of DevOps and infrastructure quality checks (IaC, environment validation).
  • Exposure to AI / ML application validation (data pipelines, model outputs, golden datasets) is a plus.
  • Strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Preferred :

  • Knowledge of security and performance testing tools (e.g., OWASP ZAP, JMeter, Locust).
  • Familiarity with cloud QA practices (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Experience with compliance-driven quality frameworks (SOC2, PCI, GDPR).
  • What Success Looks Like

  • Within 6 weeks :
  • o  QA strategy and quality processes are defined.

    o  Automation framework skeletons are live for UI + API validation.

    o  Nightly CI / CD-integrated test runs are in place, with reporting.

    o  At least one production-critical defect is caught in staging before release.

  • Within 6 months :
  • o  Regression suites cover all high-value SaaS workflows (UI → API → DB).

    o  Infrastructure and environment checks prevent misconfigurations in production.

    o  AI / ML data pipelines and models are validated with automated quality gates.

    o  Defect leakage drops significantly, while release velocity improves.

    o  You are recognized as the go-to quality expert, influencing architecture and delivery decisions.

    Why You'll Love This Role

  • Shape the QA practice from the ground up with real ownership.
  • Work on a modern SaaS + AI / ML stack where quality truly matters.
  • Stay hands-on with automation while mentoring and setting standards.
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and DevOps in a fast-moving startup.
  • See your work directly improve customer trust, speed, and reliability
