We launched in January 2026 in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and are live in production, processing real orders daily. We're hiring across product, engineering, and operations to scale what we've built.\nWhy this role exists\nOur QA team has three manual testers and nobody leading them. We want to move from manual testing to automation, and we want someone who builds that, leads it and does it.\nWhat you'll do\nLead and grow the QA team. You'll start with three manual testers and later hire an automation engineer who reports to you.\n\nSet the automation strategy for backend APIs and our mobile apps.\n\nBuild and own the framework. Write tests yourself when the team needs it.\n\nCoach the team into automation. Pairing, code reviews, clear standards.\n\nGet tests running in CI and make releases safer week by week.\n\nWork closely with our Engineering Manager and the developers.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n6+ years in QA, including 3+ years leading or mentoring QA engineers.\n\nYou have built a test automation framework from scratch before, not only extended an existing one.\n\nStrong hands-on mobile automation for iOS and Android with tools like Appium, Detox, Maestro or WebdriverIO. React Native experience is a strong plus.\n\nStrong API automation with tools like Postman/Newman, REST Assured, Karate, Playwright or Supertest. You understand REST, auth, status codes and test data setup.\n\nSolid coding skills in JavaScript/TypeScript (preferred), Python or Java.\n\nExperience running tests in CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar), with reporting and quality gates.\n\nPractical use of AI tools in testing, for example generating test cases or test code, or analyzing failures, with examples you can show.\n\nStartup experience: you've worked in a fast-moving team with changing priorities, built things with little existing process, and stayed hands-on while leading.\n\nYou've set up a QA process before: test strategy, release sign-off, and quality metrics.\n\nNice to have\nPerformance or load testing with k6, JMeter or Gatling.\n\nTesting payments, delivery or ordering flows in food delivery, e-commerce or marketplaces.\n\nDevice farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Firebase Test Lab) and feature flags (Unleash).\n\nBasic security testing awareness (OWASP API Top 10).\n\nHow we hire\nFour conversations, all live, no take-home tasks:\nLet's Talk Take In, 30 min, recruiter\n\nTechnical Deep Dive, 60 min, hiring manager\n\nLead Round, 60 min, hiring manager\n\nMeet the Founders, 60 min\n\nLocation: Remote, Egypt. Full time.\nNotes to Applicants\nA few things worth knowing before you apply:\nInterviews are conducted in English, and over video, with your camera on. We use an AI notetaker during interviews to help us stay focused on the conversation. You'll be asked for consent before any recording begins. If you need accommodations at any point in the process, let us know in your application.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3014,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Egypt","iso":"EG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-11T17:22:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T18:30:19Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/takein-qa-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/takein-qa-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T18:30:19Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":35587,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":692926},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692926"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftakein-qa-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Ftakein-qa-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Ftakein-qa-lead"},{"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/takein-qa-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftakein-qa-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4081108}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"takein.sa","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4081108},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
