Senior QA Lead / Manager – Quality Engineering & Automation

Overview

Boost Payment Solutions is modernizing B2B payments through secure, scalable, cloud‑native platforms that support payment facilitation and settlement at scale. Our systems operate in complex, high‑throughput environments where quality, resilience, and release confidence are critical.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior QA Lead / Manager to own and mature quality engineering across our distributed, cloud‑native payment platforms.

This role goes beyond defining strategy. You will be responsible for driving quality initiatives through execution and measurable outcomes, building structure, discipline, and automation that materially improve system reliability and release confidence. You will lead a mixed team of functional and automation testers while remaining hands‑on where needed to set standards, unblock progress, and raise engineering rigor.

The ideal candidate brings deep automation experience, strong QA leadership, and a track record of building durable quality practices while operating under real delivery pressure.

What You’ll Own & Deliver

Quality Engineering Ownership

Own the quality engineering function end to end, from strategy through execution and sustained results Embed quality early in the SDLC through proactive, risk‑based testing integrated into design, development, and CI/CD Serve as the senior accountability owner for quality outcomes, not just process adherence Lead, mentor, and develop a team of QA engineers with both functional and automation skill sets Establish clear, repeatable standards for test planning, execution, automation, and maintenance Build a culture that treats happy‑path, negative‑path, edge‑case, and failure‑scenario testing as core engineering responsibilities

Automation, Test Assets & Regression

Drive scalable automation across API, backend, UI, and event‑driven systems Ensure test cases, both manual and automated, are documented, organized, maintained, and traceable, forming a durable quality knowledge base Own a robust and reliable regression strategy that remains meaningful as the platform evolves Stay hands‑on as needed to improve automation quality, reduce flakiness, and strengthen signal confidence
