The Role
As our Quality Engineering Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and embedding quality engineering excellence across Envitia's engineering function. This is a unique opportunity to influence how quality is delivered across a growing organisation, establishing scalable practices, standards and approaches that enable teams to build secure, reliable and high-performing software solutions with confidence.
Working closely with multidisciplinary Agile teams, you will champion a quality-first mindset throughout the software development lifecycle, helping to define and evolve the processes, frameworks and controls that underpin successful delivery. You'll collaborate with engineers, DevOps specialists, business analysts, product stakeholders and customers to ensure quality is built in from the start, supporting the delivery of mission-critical applications and digital services used in complex and highly secure environments.
Alongside driving strategic improvements in quality maturity, you will remain hands-on, leading validation and verification activities, shaping effective test strategies and supporting release assurance activities. You will act as a mentor and trusted advisor to delivery teams, promoting modern quality engineering principles such as shift-left testing, automation, continuous improvement and preventative quality practices.
As Envitia continues to grow, this role offers the opportunity to help define and build our future quality engineering capability. You'll have the chance to influence team structures, ways of working and long-term capability development, with scope to support the recruitment, leadership and development of a dedicated quality engineering team as business demand evolves. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced quality engineering professional who enjoys combining technical leadership, strategic influence and hands-on delivery to make a lasting impact across an organisation.
