The Challenge
Since our complexity is increasing and our product is expanding across markets, our tech challenges are becoming more complex to solve. We look for leaders to help us navigate through the complexity and lead the team to the next stage.
We see elevating software quality as one of our main levers to unleash innovation. To achieve this vision, our QA members work closely with our software development teams as an integral part of our tech development life cycle.
Now we aim to go beyond. We want to improve our quality metrics by evolving how we approach quality to an embedded model where quality is everyone’s responsibility (also known as whole team testing or shift-left testing).

- Collaborate with managers to understand QA members’ development needs and sometimes mentor QA team members.
- Participate in hiring (interviews and reviewing expertise challenges) and co-lead improvements in our hiring assessment activities.
- Elevate Wallapop's culture by ensuring learning is happening among QA members in your tribes.
- Encourage and mentor the QA team to represent Wallapop externally, and at times we expect you to represent Wallapop in internal and external events too.
