QA Lead

Everything works better when quality is done right. At Codeless, your job is to define and implement QA strategy and standards. If quality improves, everything improves.

Testing is currently divided between development teams, QA, and Low Code Developers. While a lot is going well, ownership is fragmented and there is no single, consistent approach or shared view on quality across platform and customer delivery. We are looking for someone who will bring this together and take the lead.

We build and modernize complex business software for organizations with unique processes.

At the core of everything we deliver, sits CodeX, our in house Low Code platform. Our R&D team develops and improves CodeX. Our Low Code Developers use it to build customer applications efficiently and with high quality.

As QA Lead, you take end to end ownership of quality across CodeX and the way the platform is applied in customer projects. The focus is not on managing people, but on setting direction, making well founded choices, and ensuring those choices translate into consistent execution across teams.

The role operates at the intersection of platform development and Low Code delivery. It requires a strong vision on testing and development of workflows, combined with the ability to balance ambition with practical implementations.

There is real room to shape how quality is approached within Codeless. The expectations are clear: define the strategy together with management, translate it into concrete plans, and ensure measurable improvements.

You start by creating clarity across the current landscape. This means thoroughly analyzing how testing is currently organized across R&D, PD, QA, and Low Code Development, identifying gaps, overlaps, risks, and inefficiencies, and translating those insights into clear quality principles and concrete testing focus areas.

From there, you build direction.

• Define a pragmatic QA and testing strategy
• Align with Management on ambition level and investment
• Set priorities, scope, and roadmap including expected impact and ROI

Then you make it real.

• Design the initial setup and validate it through demos and proof of concepts
• Select and implement tooling where it adds measurable value
• Drive adoption through workshops and practical guidance
• Coordinate testing activities across teams
• Establish ownership, standards, and clear definitions of quality
• Monitor progress and drive continuous improvement

The goal is to create a setup in which the quality of both platform and applications is measured daily and consistently reported, providing continuous insight and control.

You are a senior QA professional who combines strategic thinking with the ability to get things done.

• Extensive experience in QA within complex software environments
• Proven hands on experience with QA tooling and test automation frameworks, experience matters more than the specific tools
• Experience defining and implementing QA strategies
• Strong sense of ownership and responsibility
• Communicates decisions, priorities, and impact effectively to both technical teams and management
• Ability to align teams and stakeholders around shared quality standards through collaborative leadership and effective teamwork
• Pragmatic and result driven, with a clear focus on implementation
• Fluent in English

A formal QA Lead title is not required. Senior QA Engineers with the ambition and skill set to take this responsibility are welcome to apply.

This is a role with impact, visibility, and the opportunity to make structural changes that matter. Our culture is pragmatic and direct: strong ideas win, not hierarchy. You will need to convince stakeholders at both C level and team level, but once aligned, execution follows.

• Collaboration with experienced colleagues across disciplines and countries
• Salary up to €7,000,- gross per month depending on skill and experience
• Hybrid working from home and office
• Pension scheme via NN
• An established software company with over 35 years of experience

• First interview with our Corporate Recruiters

• Final interview with Management
