Quality Engineering: Provide high-level reviews for .NET/C# frameworks and BDD implementations.
API Mastery: Lead API testing strategies using tools like ReadyAPI.
Risk Management: Manage complex branching and merging strategies, identifying architectural gaps and project risks before they impact delivery.
3. Delivery Leadership & Commercials
Methodology Transformation: Proven experience leading teams through the cultural and technical shift from Waterfall to Agile (Scrum/Kanban/TDD).
Project Management: Full-lifecycle management including estimating, resource coordination, and financial/budgetary oversight.
Mentorship: A dedicated mentor capable of elevating the technical standards of the wider QA team.
Experience & Requirements
Seniority: Minimum 7 years in testing with at least 3 years specifically leading large-scale integration projects.
