Ecosystem QA Lead

Day to day, you will:

• Lead QA activities, set priorities, and coordinate testing efforts across multiple teams and components.
• Investigate unclear, poorly reproducible, and cross-component issues to find the root cause.
• Analyze logs, test results, and user reports to spot broader quality patterns behind individual failures.
• Define test strategies and apply risk-based testing to manage release cycles safely.
• Work with developers and product teams to establish expected behavior when detailed specifications aren't available.
• Improve our QA processes and guide the team in making confident release decisions.

What you’ll bring

• A high degree of independence and technical curiosity.
• Comfort taking ownership of complex problems and driving them to resolution.
• The ability to see the big picture and understand how changes in one area affect the rest of the system.
• A proactive approach to improving processes rather than just following them.
• Strong analytical thinking, with the ability to turn scattered logs and user reports into clear insights.
• The communication skills to bring different teams together and coordinate testing efforts smoothly.

What you’ll need

• The proven ability to test complex, multi-component systems and navigate integration and end-to-end testing.
• Practical knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
• Experience leading QA activities and shaping test strategies for multiple products and release cycles.
• Familiarity with reading and debugging code (Java or Kotlin preferred) to troubleshoot deeply embedded issues.
• Hands-on experience writing or maintaining automated tests.
• The ability to navigate and troubleshoot CI/CD systems, test environments, and infrastructure (such as Docker, Kubernetes, or TeamCity).
• Experience investigating distributed systems, APIs, and service-to-service integrations using monitoring and logging tools.

What success looks like

Within your first few months, you’ll have a firm grasp of the DataGrip ecosystem and how its components interact across our IDEs. You’ll be independently identifying quality risks, setting clear testing priorities, and helping teams ship reliable releases without bottlenecks. Long-term, you’ll have established smoother QA workflows, making it easier for everyone to understand dependencies and catch cross-product issues before they reach our users.
