Senior QA Data Analyst creating Looker telemetry dashboards for Warner Bros. Discovery’s Montréal AAA game studio. Verifying game data and delivering actionable insights to QA and development teams.
About the role
- Director of QA responsible for quality assurance across Xsolla's products. Leading a distributed team and ensuring high-quality releases in a gaming commerce company.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute the QA strategy across all Xsolla products, aligning quality objectives with business goals and product roadmaps.
- Own QA deliverables end-to-end — from test planning through release sign-off — and be accountable for outcomes, not just activities.
- Establish and enforce quality gates, defect governance policies, and release readiness criteria across all product teams.
- Drive organizational maturity: evolve the QA function from reactive testing to proactive quality engineering embedded in every stage of the SDLC.
- Represent QA at the executive level — articulate quality risks, tradeoffs, and resource needs to VP/C-level stakeholders with clarity and data.
- Architect and oversee enterprise-grade test automation frameworks spanning UI (Playwright), API, database validation (SQL), and performance testing (K6).
- Define and maintain standards for test code quality — including code reviews, PR contributions, reusable libraries, and modular test design.
- Deep understanding of Git workflows — branching strategies, merge request reviews, repository hygiene, and code versioning best practices across multiple repositories.
- Expert-level knowledge of CI/CD pipelines — design, optimize, and troubleshoot automated build, test, and deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).
Requirements
- 15+ years of experience in QA/Quality Engineering, with at least 6+ years in Senior Manager or Director-level roles.
- Proven experience leading teams of 30+ people distributed across multiple time zones and cultural contexts.
- Hands-on technical proficiency — you can write and review test automation code, not just manage people who do. Proficiency in one or more: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java.
- Deep expertise in test automation frameworks: Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or equivalent for UI; REST/GraphQL API testing tools; database validation via SQL.
- Performance testing experience: K6, JMeter, Gatling, or Locust — designing, executing, and analyzing load/stress/soak tests.
- Expert knowledge of Git: branching strategies (GitFlow, trunk-based), pull request workflows, code review practices, repository management across multiple repos.
- Expert knowledge of CI/CD: designing and maintaining pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI), integrating automated tests into build/deploy workflows, debugging pipeline failures.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools in professional QA work — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar — for test generation, automation coding, defect analysis, or process optimization. Provide specific examples.
- Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and experience operating within and across Agile teams.
- Experience with test management platforms (Qase, TestRail, Zephyr, or similar).
- Excellent communication skills — ability to present complex technical quality topics to non-technical stakeholders, write clear documentation, and influence without authority.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision
- PTO
- Personalized career roadmap
- Professional development through training and educational opportunities
