QA Lead (OANDA)

OANDA, now part of the FTMO Group, is growing, and we're looking for a QA Lead to own quality in OANDA engineering. Build and lead the OANDA QA team, set how we test, and make quality a shared responsibility of every delivery team. Work hand in hand with the QA Lead at FTMO so both companies follow the same standards, frameworks and quality gates.

What will you do?

• Lead the OANDA QA team: hiring, onboarding, performance and career development of QA engineers.

• Define the QA strategy for OANDA engineering with the engineering management team, aligned with the group standards agreed with the FTMO QA Lead.

• Build and maintain the test automation framework and introduce shift-left practices, so developers own testing of their code.

• Set quality gates in the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines for onboarding, funding, trading, user management and back-office systems.

• Track and report quality KPIs: escaped defects, regressions, change failure rate, CI feedback time, meaningful test coverage.

• Take part in post-incident reviews from a prevention point of view and close gaps in test coverage.

• Introduce AI-assisted and agentic testing, and quality gates for AI-generated code.

What do you bring to the table?

• 7+ years in software QA, including 3+ years leading QA engineers.

• Proven experience building test automation frameworks and introducing QA standards across several teams.

• Experience in fintech, trading or payments is a strong advantage.

• English at C1 level; Czech / Polish is an advantage.

• Strong knowledge of the SDLC, CI/CD and modern test automation (web, mobile, API).

• Hands-on with automation tools (e.g. Playwright, API testing).

• Understanding of SRE basics: monitoring, observability, SLIs and SLOs.

• Clear communication and ability to influence engineers and product people.
