At FTMO, we believe that company growth starts with people. We are an international team that pushes forward together, supports one another, and celebrates shared achievements. Our environment creates space for talent to grow—individually, as a team, and across our entire ecosystem.

As our QA Lead, you'll define and drive the standards, frameworks, and culture of quality across FTMO and our broader group entities - embedding QA as a core, ongoing part of the SDLC rather than a final gate. You will champion a "shift-left" mindset, turning QA into an accelerator for both development speed and platform stability.

What will you do?

Define FTMO QA Standards: Design, evolve, and implement QA frameworks, methodologies, tools, and quality metrics (KPIs) aligned with our business goals.

Embed Quality into the SDLC: Act as a key stakeholder across the entire software lifecycle, embedding shift-left practices and defining clear quality gates from early design through to production deployment.

SRE & Observability Collaboration: Partner closely with our SRE/DevOps teams to leverage SLIs/SLOs for setting test priorities and quality gates. Contribute to QA observability (Elastic, Grafana, Prometheus) and participate in post-incident reviews to drive root-cause prevention and regression coverage.

Drive Test Automation & CI/CD: Lead the selection and integration of modern QA automation tools and agentic testing into our CI/CD pipelines, optimizing test infrastructure efficiency and resource costs.

Lead & Mentor QA Tech Leads: Provide functional and methodical leadership to dotted-line QA Tech Leads across our micro-teams, —acting as a mentor, technical guide, and the go-to reference point for software quality.

Champion Shared Responsibility: Shift quality from being a "final gate" to a shared, proactive mindset across engineering, infrastructure, and product teams.
