Context

Valtech delivers and operates business-critical digital platforms for large, complex e-commerce and omnichannel ecosystems, under high expectations of quality, performance and reliability. Within this context, quality execution must be predictable, automated where possible, and closely embedded in each squad's delivery rhythm. The Senior QA is the operational backbone of quality on the ground — translating the Head of Quality's vision and standards into concrete test strategy, coverage and outcomes at squad/program level leveraging AI as much as possible. The Senior QA ensures QA is never a bottleneck, never a silo, and always a trusted signal for release readiness.

• Own the test plan and sign-off criteria for releases, in line with Head of Quality standards
• Build, maintain and grow automated test coverage, in coordination with the transverse QA craft/community

Your Profile

The Senior QA owns execution: quality strategy, coverage, release sign-off and day-to-day team coordination at squad/program level. Vision, cross-program standards, QA commitments at initiative/epic level, and business-facing QA accountability remain owned by the Head of Quality. The Senior QA is the primary escalation point from squad-level QA into the transverse craft model — QA silos are not acceptable, and the Senior QA is expected to actively engage with the wider QA community rather than operate in isolation.
