You’ll support engineering teams in delivering high-quality software solutions.\nWe run Scrum with two-week sprints across multiple product squads building complex financial software - web applications (Angular / Java Spring Boot) and native mobile apps (iOS and Android).\nQuality engineering is a key pillar of our delivery model: from acceptance criteria defined before a sprint begins, to automated gates in CI/CD, to structured regression across client environments. We’re looking for someone who can own and continuously raise that bar.\nMain Activities\nTest Strategy & Governance\nDefine and own the overall test strategy across squads - coverage targets, risk-based priorities, regression approach, and a Definition of Done with real teeth.\n\nFacilitate Three Amigos sessions (BA + Dev + QA) before each sprint, ensuring acceptance criteria are written, testable and tracked in Jira before a single line of code is committed.\n\nbuild upgrade and release checklists that prevent the kind of regression incidents that erode client confidence.\n\nAutomation & Tooling\nDefine and evolve the test automation framework end-to-end: architecture, tooling choices, standards, long-term maintenance.\n\nDesign and maintain CI/CD quality gates that block defective code before it reaches production, and define coverage standards across unit, integration, end-to-end and regression tests for both web and mobile.\n\nMobile Quality\nDefine and own the testing strategy for our native iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) applications - device/OS coverage matrices, automated test suites, and regression coverage across upgrade cycles and client-specific environments.\n\nCross-Squad Quality Leadership\nAct as the quality authority across the engineering organisation - not through hierarchy, but through expertise and trust, which will be the key focus.\n\nRunning regular quality alignment meetings, coaching developers and QA engineers, and advocating for testability at the design stage before problems become expensive.\n\ncontribute to improving development and testing workflows in a modern engineering environment and actively participate in release validation, defect management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.\n\nCandidate's Experience and Qualifications\n5+ years in software quality engineering, at least 2 in a senior or lead individual contributor role.\n\nExperience in building automation frameworks from scratch\n\nHands-on experience with native mobile testing on iOS and/or Android (Appium, XCTest, Espresso or equivalent).\n\nExperience or strong familiarity with Agile/Scrum environments and you understand where quality fits in the delivery cycle - not after it.\n\nDemonstrated capability with Frontend automation for Angular/TypeScript (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright or equivalent)\n\nStrong experience with web and API testing methodologies (Postman, REST-assured)\n\nProven ability with test management tooling (Jira Xray, Zephyr or equivalent)\n\nUnderstanding of CI/CD pipeline integration and quality gate design\n\nProven knowledge of English language - written and spoken\n\nBackground in fintech, banking or regulated software environments is a genuine advantage.\n\nCandidate's Skills and Personal Qualities\nAbility to challenge existing practices constructively and propose improvements.\n\nAbility to balance quality objectives with delivery timelines.\n\nstrong communication and collaboration skills.\n\nAbility to influence stakeholders without direct authority.\n\nWhat We Offer\nDirect collaboration with engineering leadership and cross-functional product teams.\n\nThe opportunity to contribute to software solutions supporting investment professionals across more than 15 countries.\n\nAn engineering team committed to evolving its practices and continuously improving the quality of its products and processes.\n\nHybrid working arrangement based in Milan.\n\nPermanent employment with remuneration commensurate with seniority and experience.\nSalary range: €45.000 - up to €55.000 gross annual salary (RAL). The actual final compensation package and CCNL level may vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to, job-related qualifications such as knowledge, skills, education, and experience.\n\nBenefits - e.g. welfare, ticket, health insurance, discounts with our partners.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5435,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T08:40:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.784,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":120,"expected_fill_days":120,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":63138,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/objectway-qa-leader","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/objectway-qa-leader.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T03:15:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":734,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4266,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54141},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54141"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fobjectway-qa-leader"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fobjectway-qa-leader"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fobjectway-qa-leader"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/objectway-qa-leader\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fobjectway-qa-leader"}]}
