Full description
StellarTech is a fast-growing, multi-product EdTech company with a team of 200+ professionals. We create and scale digital products for global markets, combining creativity, technology, and performance marketing.
We are looking for a QA Lead to own and continuously improve the QA function of our Platform team, uniting Manual and Automation QA into one strong, predictable quality practice.
This role goes beyond managing test execution or reporting bugs. We are looking for someone who understands how quality works end to end, from requirements to production, can investigate complex technical issues hands-on, and can build a team and processes that scale with frequent releases.
The QA Lead will be one of the key people behind the reliability of our core products: web funnels, paywalls, payments and subscriptions, and integrations. You will shape the test strategy, drive automation, own release readiness, and grow a team of 5 QA engineers.
This is a full-time remote position with European working hours, ideal for a hands-on QA leader who enjoys building processes, growing people, and taking ownership of product quality.
What You Will Do
- Team Leadership & Development
Lead the Manual and Automation QA teams (5 direct reports): distribute workload, set priorities, and ensure predictable delivery. Develop engineers through mentoring, feedback, performance reviews, onboarding, and hiring.
- QA Strategy & Processes
Own the QA strategy, processes, and testing standards. Continuously improve them to raise product quality and team efficiency.
- Test Planning & Coordination
Plan and coordinate regression, smoke, functional, integration, and automated testing across frequent releases.
- Automation Strategy
Drive the automation strategy together with AQA engineers: prioritize coverage of critical business flows and reduce repetitive manual testing.
- Early QA Involvement
Ensure QA takes part early in requirements analysis, technical refinements, risk identification, and test planning.
- Release Readiness & Risk Management
Own release readiness: identify quality risks early and communicate them clearly to stakeholders before deployment.
- Quality Metrics
Track and improve QA efficiency, test coverage, and defect trends, and use the data to make decisions.
- AI-Assisted QA
Introduce AI-assisted QA practices where they deliver measurable impact without compromising quality.
