About Linktree
Linktree makes your online content more discoverable, easier to manage and more likely to convert.
We're a tool for connecting followers to your entire online world — not just one feed.
A Linktree not only points followers in the direction of your choosing — to your other social profiles, eCommerce store, or content you want to share — but it helps hold followers within your online ecosystem for longer. It allows users to share more, sell more, curate more and grow more.
Position
QA and testing at Linktree is currently a responsibility shared amongst all of our Engineering team and everyone believes strongly in. Due to the growth (past and still to come) of our Engineering team, we are looking for someone to own this function and build out a team of specialists to improve our speed and reduce bugs in deployment.
You will audit our current ways of working and then architect and implement new processes and hire and manage a team of QA engineers. While you must have extensive QA experience and knowledge, this role has a large focus on people and stakeholder management. We are really looking for someone with an extremely high EQ that can make compelling business cases, collaborate with our Engineering leadership team and be a mentor and manager that the team loves to work with.
Your qualification
- Experience as a QA Lead but still hands on to be hands on
- Team management experience (3 + people) and ideally with distributed teams
- Experience in building large scale QA infrastructure
- The ability to bring as much automation as possible to our processes
We have our current ways of testing and tool kit but would like this person to be tech / platform agnostic. How we run QA and what we use should be based on what is best for our business and product, not what is most popular.
