We’re seeking a pragmatic Lead Quality Engineer to shape the quality foundations behind one of Europe’s fastest-growing legal tech companies.
JUPUS already supports hundreds of law firms across Europe. As we scale, the quality, reliability, and observability of our product have become critical to how we deliver value to customers, from faster releases to fewer defects and stronger customer trust.
Today, several Quality Engineering initiatives are already in place, including test automation, traceability, CI processes, and quality metrics. The next phase is about bringing, ownership, structure, and continuous improvement to our Quality initiatives: improving end-to-end automation, making software quality visible and actionable, and helping engineering teams ship faster without compromising reliability.
Your Challenge and Opportunity in This Role
In this role, you will own Quality Engineering discipline end-to-end, working closely with the Head of Engineering and the Quality Engineers across multiple teams. Your focus will be pragmatic execution: identifying what is hurting product quality today, improving existing processes, and building a scalable quality culture without slowing down delivery.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building in fast-moving environments, challenging assumptions, influencing roadmaps, and helping teams take ownership of quality.
Tasks
Own the quality of the Platform: you have clear ownership over platform quality across squads and therefore are functionally responsible for Quality in the entire Engineering department, meaning you take care of Quality as a discipline in terms of prioritization, standards, processes, mentoring, reviews, roadmap execution, etc.
Customer Care: you own the quality of the platform beyond manual or automated tests. You are aware of customer success metrics and are able to gather customers feedback and are able to prioritize it and bring suggestions on action points.
Own and evolve Quality Engineering initiatives: You take ownership of existing QE initiatives such as traceability, quality metrics, defect observability, CI improvements, and testing processes, iterating on them so they become useful, reliable, and actionable.
Make software quality visible: You turn quality data into clear insights, dashboards, and signals that help teams understand the health of the application and act on issues before they affect users.
Improve end-to-end test automation: You design, implement, and continuously improve E2E test automation to increase confidence in releases and reduce manual effort across the engineering organization.
Strengthen testing across the stack: You improve integration testing, support better unit testing practices, and ensure testing is effectively embedded into CI and development workflows.
Own the Quality Engineering roadmap: You identify what is business-critical, what is slowing teams down, and where quality risks are highest, then translate those insights into a practical QE roadmap.
Collaborate with Engineering teams: You work across the engineering organization to improve quality processes while keeping shipping speed high.
Build a Quality Assistance culture: You help developers own quality by enabling better testing practices, improving feedback loops, and creating processes that support teams rather than acting as a gatekeeper.
Lead and support the QA chapter: You manage and mentor the existing QA team, helping them grow while setting clear standards for how Quality Engineering should operate at JUPUS.
Requirements
Technical Expertise
8+ years of experience in Quality Engineering or Software Testing, including several years operating at Senior, Lead, or Staff level.
Strong hands-on experience implementing end-to-end automated tests for web applications.
Ability to code and build test automation frameworks independently, without relying on AI tools or purely manual testing approaches.
Experience with integration testing and improving test coverage across complex software systems.
Experience embedding testing into CI pipelines and improving release confidence through automated quality checks.
You are highly pragmatic and execution-oriented, able to identify the most important quality risks and deliver improvements quickly.
You are data-driven, able to make test outcomes, defects, lead time, and application health visible and useful for engineering teams.
You have experience creating Quality Engineering roadmaps and influencing engineering processes without slowing down delivery.
You bring a Quality Assistance mindset, helping developers ship high-quality software rather than acting as a traditional QA gatekeeper.
You are comfortable managing and mentoring QA engineers while remaining highly hands-on in automation, tooling, and technical implementation.
You can challenge technical plans constructively, assess whether Quality Engineering initiatives are feasible, and help shape the roadmap.
Bonus: You already interfaced with customers in regards to quality initiatives.
Bonus: You have experience improving unit testing practices across engineering teams.
Bonus: You have worked in fast-growing software companies where quality systems needed to evolve quickly alongside product scale.
