About this role: As a Senior QA Tester for the cross-product platform area of our YAVICA products, you will be responsible for driving the global quality assurance strategy rather than just executing hands-on tests. Your responsibilities will encompass our solutions across all YAVICA products. We need a dedicated leader to consolidate and scale our testing practices, standardize processes, and elevate the team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in QA leadership, the ability to implement unified test strategies across a complex ERP ecosystem, and a passion for mentoring and guiding others. In this role, your key responsibilities are to: Champion YAVICA’s Quality Manifesto, implementing and evolving the overarching test strategy across all YAVICA products to drive continuous improvement. Partner closely with the Test Manager, taking ownership of delegated leadership tasks such as test cycle planning, defect triage leadership, pipeline monitoring, and cross-team resource scaling.

Partner with Product Owners and technical architects to ensure test strategies align with functional designs and product priorities. Take professional ownership of quality across the full test pyramid (unit, integration, E2E), ensuring automated suites scale effectively toward continuous delivery. Scale up testing resources effectively, coordinating with cross-functional teams to embed Shift Left methodologies and ensure quality is integrated from day one. Drive integration testing across the product suite. Example: ensuring that data flows, subledger postings, and general ledger (GL) impacts are accurate for complex, cross-product scenarios (e.g., combined property and loan transactions). Integrate automated tests and quality gates inside CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) to give developers fast, reliable feedback. Oversee the troubleshooting and localization of complex defects, guiding the team in analyzing system logs, network traffic, and leveraging various debugging tools to identify root causes. Own the quality metrics that matter and use them to support systemic process improvements. Be accountable for product quality alongside the PO, leading the definition of complex acceptance criteria and automated testcases. You might be a great fit if you have: 7+ years of QA experience within complex Agile system landscapes, including proven experience in a QA Lead or leadership role driving quality across multiple product lines. A relevant qualification (e.g., Computer Science, Accounting, Business) alongside certifications in Software Testing (ISTQB, CSTE, or similar). Extensive experience overseeing functional testing (Integration, Acceptance, Regression) and non-functional testing (Performance, Load, Security), as well as various testing approaches (Black-box, White-box, Grey-box). Proven experience scaling up testing resources and directly mentoring Junior Product Owners (JPOs) or junior QA staff. Understanding of scalable test architecture, maintaining automated regression tests using frameworks such as Playwright or Acceptance Test Library (ATL). Proven experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and Azure DevOps reporting. Experience contributing to the practical use of AI within testing, utilizing Copilots, agentic AI or Generative AI to streamline test case creation and improve pipeline efficiency.
