About the Role:
We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Test Lead to lead the end-to-end quality assurance strategy for a large-scale legacy mainframe-to-GCP migration program. The ideal candidate will combine deep QA expertise, strong leadership skills, and an understanding of cloud, data, and migration testing complexities.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define and implement the QA strategy, test architecture, and governance model for cloud transformation projects.
- Lead the QA function across multiple workstreams covering data migration, APIs, platforms, and business processes.
- Establish quality gates, KPIs, and dashboards for measuring end-to-end delivery quality.
- Partner closely with business, engineering, and operations teams to embed QA best practices into the SDLC.
- Drive comprehensive test planning, covering functional, regression, integration, performance, and data validation testing.
- Develop and execute robust data reconciliation and validation frameworks to ensure end-to-end consistency between on-prem and GCP environments.
- Design test approaches for data pipelines (ETL/ELT), cloud-native applications, and API ecosystems.
- Oversee test environments, test data management, and automation toolchains across multiple cloud environments.
- Champion test automation using modern tools and CI/CD integration.
- Implement data validation automation frameworks leveraging Python, SQL, and GCP-native tools.
- Lead initiatives for shift-left testing, early defect detection, and continuous quality monitoring.
- Manage QA teams across onshore/offshore delivery models, mentoring senior test leads and analysts.
- Collaborate closely with program managers, business analysts, and cloud architects to align quality objectives with migration goals.
- Communicate test outcomes, risks, and mitigation plans effectively to executive stakeholders.
Required Qualifications:
- 8-10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, with at least 4+ years in QA leadership or management roles.
- Proven experience leading data and application migration testing from on-prem/mainframe to GCP or other cloud environments.
- Strong expertise in data testing, ETL validation, and end-to-end data flow verification.
- In-depth knowledge of testing strategies for cloud-native systems, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Hands-on understanding of GCP data services (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Storage).
- Excellent analytical, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
- Experience managing multi-vendor, distributed QA teams in an agile or hybrid delivery model.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with multi-cloud QA strategies (GCP, AWS, Azure).
- Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code validation practices.
- Knowledge of test data management tools and data quality frameworks.
- Certifications such as ISTQB Advanced Test Manager, Certified Agile Tester (CAT), or Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer (QA-focused exposure) are a plus.
