Location: Bengaluru / Hybrid
Experience: 6+ years in Software QA/Testing, including 2+ years in a team- handling/lead capacity
Employment Type: Full-time
Summary
entomo is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The company promotes and supports a diverse workforce at all levels across the Company. The Company ensures that its associates or potential hires, third-party support staff and suppliers are not discriminated against, directly or indirectly, as a result of their colour, creed, cast, race, nationality, ethnicity or national origin, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability, religion or similar philosophical belief, sexual orientation, gender or gender reassignment, etc
We're looking for a QA Lead who can balance strong hands-on testing expertise with team leadership. You'll be responsible for driving quality across both manual and automated testing efforts, managing a team of QA engineers, and ensuring releases meet a high bar for reliability before they reach production.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage a team of QA engineers — assign work, review test coverage, and ensure timely, quality delivery
Own the test strategy for assigned projects, covering both manual and automated testing
Design, review, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks for functional, regression, and integration testing
Plan and execute manual testing for areas where automation isn't feasible or cost-effective, including exploratory and edge-case testing
Define test plans, test cases, and acceptance criteria in collaboration with product and engineering teams
Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery
Track and report quality metrics — defect trends, test coverage, release readiness — to engineering and product stakeholders
Manage defect triage, prioritization, and closure, and drive root cause analysis on recurring issues
Mentor QA engineers on both manual testing discipline and automation best practices
Ensure test documentation and evidence are consistently maintained to support audit and compliance needs
Required Qualifications
6+ years of experience in Software QA/Testing, with at least 2+ years leading or handling a QA team
Strong, demonstrated experience in both manual and automated testing — not automation-only or manual-only background
Hands-on experience with test automation tools/frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Rest Assured, or equivalent)
Solid understanding of API testing and its automation
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
Strong grasp of SDLC/Agile practices and QA's role within them
Experience with test management and defect tracking tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, or similar)
Strong communication and people-management skills, with experience conducting reviews, mentoring, and prioritizing team workload
Preferred Qualifications
Exposure to SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 compliance requirements, particularly around test documentation, traceability, and audit evidence, is a strong plus
Experience with performance/load testing tools (JMeter, k6, Gatling)
Familiarity with testing in containerized or cloud-native (Kubernetes) environments
Experience setting up quality gates within CI/CD pipelines
What We're Looking For
Someone who can operate as both a strong individual contributor in testing and a capable people leader — comfortable getting into the details of test cases and automation scripts, while also owning team output and stakeholder communication.
