You own the test strategy across our 3 product teams and finish moving regression testing from a manual release-day cycle to an automated, shift-left E2E suite. Without this role, quality depends on manual testing on release day, bugs show up in staging or production, and the move to automated testing stalls. This is an interim position: the duration is still to be confirmed, and the role ends once the assignment is complete.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>What you'll do</strong></h1><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Join refinement with the product teams and write Gherkin (Given/When/Then) acceptance specs that developers turn into tests</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Test new features on staging, going beyond the acceptance criteria to find edge cases, and file clear, reproducible bug reports in Jira</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Write and review Playwright tests (TypeScript) in the frontend repo, and review developer-written tests in pull requests</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Monitor the daily automated regression run in GitHub Actions, triage failures the same day, and fix flaky tests at the root cause</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run release-day regression and the OWASP ZAP security scan for each release, and give a clear go / no-go call</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Migrate the remaining legacy tests and decide what is worth automating and what stays manual</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Organise cross-team QA days and coach developers so they own their tests</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> </div></li></ul><div style="text-align:left"><img style="max-width:100%" src="https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/d722c125-c3d1-4d3f-8dbf-08d8ac4ab137/3c95dc18-9519-4446-b1af-13a805537681/Screenshot_2026-07-23_at_10.38.46.png" /></div><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h1><strong>What we are looking for </strong></h1><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p sty
