QA Lead

Location: This position is remote within Colombia

Huge is looking for a QA Lead to drive end-to-end quality strategy, test execution, and release validation across high-impact, modern web initiatives. As the QA Lead, you will act as the quality authority across decoupled, headless architectures—ensuring seamless user experiences, design system fidelity, and system reliability across complex digital platforms.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between Product, Design, and Engineering to architect and execute comprehensive test plans. From validating component-driven React/Next.js frontends against Figma design systems to auditing WCAG accessibility and validating complex API-driven data flows (including AI-generated search outputs and interactive map discovery engines), you will safeguard platform performance and functionality at every layer.

A successful candidate brings deep agency or consulting experience, a mastery of headless/composable testing strategies, and the technical leadership required to manage defect lifecycles and communicate quality risks clearly to cross-functional stakeholders.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Quality Strategy for Composable Architecture: Establish and execute end-to-end test strategies for complex, decoupled systems—testing front-end user experiences, headless CMS platforms (Contentstack, Contentful, or Sanity), CRMs, and third-party API integrations both independently and in combination.

• Component & Visual QA: Partner directly with Design and Engineering to validate React/Next.js component libraries against Figma design system specs, ensuring design fidelity, state behavior, and responsive layouts across all viewports and breakpoints.

• API & Data Flow Validation: Conduct rigorous API and integration testing across third-party service handshakes, validating end-to-end data pipelines from headless content repositories to search endpoints and front-end rendering.

• Interactive UI & Complex Feature QA: Drive testing for stateful, highly interactive web applications (e.g., Media Discovery Engine OOH ad maps, dynamic list builders, and multi-filter tools) beyond static content pages.

• Search & AI Output Quality: Validate search experience functionality, query handling, and faceting, while establishing quality assurance protocols to audit AI-generated summary outputs for accuracy and hallucination risks.

• WCAG Accessibility Auditing: Lead accessibility testing efforts to enforce WCAG standards, ensuring digital products deliver inclusive user experiences across input types, screen readers, and color contrasts.

• Agile Defect Management: Own the defect lifecycle in Jira—leading triage, defining acceptance criteria (AC) validation workflows within sprints, and ensuring clear traceability from design specs through implementation.

• Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the voice of quality within agile delivery teams, effectively communicating risk, test coverage, and release readiness to Client, Product, and Engineering leads.

What We’d Like to See

• 8+ years of experience in Quality Assurance, with a proven track record leading QA strategy on enterprise web projects within a digital agency or consulting environment.

• Headless CMS Expertise: Hands-on experience testing decoupled, headless CMS platforms (direct production experience with Contentstack, Contentful, or Sanity is required).

• Modern Front-End Testing: Deep experience testing front-end applications built on React and Next.js, focusing on stateful interactions, responsive viewports, and cross-browser parity.

• Design System & Visual QA: Proven background validating newly built design systems and component libraries directly against Figma design specifications.

• API & Integration Testing: Advanced proficiency testing RESTful/GraphQL APIs, reading integration contracts, managing environment parity gaps, and working with staging mocks for external services (CRM, search, maps, ad platforms).

• Accessibility Mastery: Direct experience conducting WCAG compliance audits using automated tools and manual screen reader testing strategies.

• Agile Tooling & Process: Power-user fluency in Jira, with an expert ability to write clear, reproducible bug reports, manage backlog health, and lead defect triage sessions.

• Communication & Leadership: Exceptional written and verbal english communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical defects, quality metrics, and release risks to both technical teams and client stakeholders.
