QA Tech Lead

WHY XOGENE?

At Xogene, we’re revolutionizing the future of clinical trial transparency through AI-powered solutions. Join our team of experts who are transforming how leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies navigate regulatory compliance. If you're driven by solving complex problems in a professional environment focused on meaningful and rewarding work, we want to hear from you.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Xogene combines regulatory expertise with advanced technology to automate complex processes in clinical trial transparency. Our software streamlines workflows through AI and agentic networking capabilities, improving data transformation and regulatory compliance for leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. We're committed to advancing technological solutions in clinical trial transparency.

As we continue to expand, we are seeking an experienced QA Tech Lead to drive our test automation initiatives and strengthen our testing strategy. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, the QA Tech Lead will own test automation strategy and execution.

This is a hands-on technical role: you will write and maintain automated tests while guiding the team's automation direction.

KEY TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead and mentor automation engineers, provide technical guidance to the wider testing team, and foster a culture of quality excellence and continuous improvement.

• Support skill development across the team, including cross-training manual testers in automation (e.g., Playwright Codegen, low-code contributions, and AI-assisted scripting with tools such as Claude) and ensuring automation engineers understand product domain and end-user workflows.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Development, Customer Success, Product Management, Design and Product Support across multiple time zones.

• Define the overall risk-based test strategy, focusing testing effort where regulatory and customer risk is highest, with clear criteria for which tests are automated, which remain manual, and what doesn't need a test at all. Own automation test plans and standards across all Xogene product releases.

• Create and maintain quality metrics, KPIs, and dashboards on testing progress and potential blockers, and provide regular updates to the Director of Engineering.

• Define test scope, objectives, success criteria, and time and resource estimates with stakeholders, and ensure comprehensive coverage through effective test case design and review.

• Identify, assess, and mitigate quality risks throughout each sprint cycle, including during pre-release dry runs.

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable automation testing frameworks, including our custom-built Playwright framework, enforcing code standards, and maximizing test reusability through the Page Object Model (POM).
