QA Lead with the chance to establish processes from ground up
QA Lead | Melbourne, Remote / Hybrid
I’m working with a high-calibre cyber security company that is operating at a high-level. The team is small, deeply technical, and already trusted by high-value enterprise customers to solve complex security problems.
As the company continues to scale its engineering capability, they’re looking to hire for their QA Lead. This is a high-impact role where you’ll define how quality is engineered across the platform, designing frameworks, introducing automation, and embedding testing practices into the development lifecycle.
This isn’t a traditional QA environment with existing processes in place. Instead, you’ll be building the quality function from the ground up, working closely with strong engineers who value pragmatic, well-designed systems.
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of testing strategy, frameworks, and tooling, ensuring the platform maintains the reliability and usability expected by demanding enterprise customers.
The product spans backend systems, APIs, web UI, and mobile interfaces, so you’ll be responsible for establishing testing coverage across the full stack.
While this role is strategic, it’s also hands-on. You’ll initially be the sole QA engineer — designing automation frameworks, implementing regression coverage, and shaping how quality fits into the company’s engineering culture.
