About The Position

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Test Strategist – Quality Assurance who can do more than just test — someone who lives and breathes quality, champions the customer, wrangles complex data for test scenarios, and partners like a boss across Product, Engineering, and Business teams. You’ll be the voice of quality throughout the lifecycle, shaping testing strategies, building robust data sets, facilitating story clarity, and even moonlighting as a mini-scrum master when needed. Coding isn’t required — but being an all-around quality ringleader is. If you're equal parts QA veteran, BA detective, and team whisperer, we want you. Collaborate within a modern .NET Core and Angular application environment — testing full-stack workflows and front-end/back-end integrations.

Requirements

5+ years in software quality assurance with deep experience in manual functional, regression, and exploratory testing
Strong experience in crafting test cases and test plans from user stories, business requirements, and wireframes
Proven track record of owning quality for major features and releases
Experience working in Agile/Scrum/Kanban teams, preferably in a fast-paced digital environment
Ability to lead without authority — influencing teams toward better outcomes and higher standards
Comfort managing test data and working alongside technical teammates (SDETs, developers, DevOps, etc.)
Excellent communication skills — both written and verbal — with a talent for diplomacy and detail
Must have familiarity with testing full-stack .NET Core and Angular applications in modern web-based product environments

Nice To Haves

Experience with TestRail, Jira, Confluence, Postman, or other tools in the QA toolkit
Collaborate with engineers and SDETs obsessed with automation and quality
Help steer the product and quality bar — not just run test cases
Flexible work environment with strong emphasis on team success
Opportunity to mentor junior QA and influence team culture
Bring structure to chaos, clarity to ambiguity, and humor to sprint retros

Responsibilities

Own testing strategy and execution for your squad — from requirement grooming to production validation.
Design and manage complex test data to mimic real-world workflows, edge cases, and delightful chaos.
Work with Product Owners, Developers, Designers, and fellow QA to ensure clear acceptance criteria, test coverage, and readiness.
Coordinate user acceptance testing, exploratory test sessions, and signoffs with key stakeholders.
Drive story clarifications, facilitate 3 Amigos conversations, and translate business needs into testable, traceable scenarios.
Be the conscience of the sprint — help keep teams accountable to quality, story completeness, and sprint commitments.
Write, execute, and manage manual test cases using tools like TestRail (or similar). Identify gaps in coverage and communicate risk.
Participate in sprint planning, retros, and stand-ups. Help shape better requirements and improve team processes.
