Lead QA Consultant
About the role and what you'll be doing
Our Technical Leads are hands-on, you will be inquisitive in your approach to testing and problem solving and have the technical ability to lead any project from a testing perspective regardless of the tech stack.
You will work closely with senior technical people from the client, navigating through complex stakeholder relationships, and guiding technical decisions, as well as coaching and mentoring members of the project team.
Amido has a diverse set of communities, as well as your core competency that you’ll be encouraged to contribute to, and learn from, where projects and client commitments allow.
You will be a self-starter, and proactive in your project work and your career, continuously looking for ways to add value, improve and lead your community and Amido.
We are a client-facing business, but we do encourage clients to allow us to work remotely for a majority of the time so if you are not required to be on client site, you can choose to work from home or in our Amido offices.

- Working with teams to improve their test approach and implement testing best practices
- Designing and implementing enterprise level test solutions with appropriate cloud-based services/platform with a deep understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of different enterprise environments
