Your impact.
AI is central to this role and to how we work at ANVA. As an AI-first company, our ambition is to set the pace for AI in our market. We see QA as one of the biggest opportunities to drive AI adoption. You will shape our AI-first QA approach across the teams and set the standards they build upon. We expect AI to already be a core part of your daily workflow, and you can demonstrate this during the interview process.
ANVA's highly configurable platform presents unique testing challenges across configuration, code, and infrastructure. As QA Lead, you define the testing strategy, develop the tooling, and enable teams to deliver quality at scale.
You drive quality across the software delivery lifecycle, from standards and automation to release management, working closely with product and engineering teams.
Another important aspect is providing technical leadership to 4 QA Engineers and setting the QA direction across 8 development teams building core insurance workflows.
Release management is a central part of the role. You own the release process, ensuring predictable delivery through clear communication, expectation management, and dependency coordination.
