About the role
As the Ecosystem QA Lead, you will take ownership of quality across the shared database components powering DataGrip and related JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and PhpStorm. You will coordinate testing efforts across teams, investigate elusive cross-component and integration issues, and establish risk-based QA workflows to ensure safe, continuous releases across multiple products.
What you'll do
- Lead QA activities, set testing priorities, and coordinate efforts across multiple teams and IDE components.
- Investigate complex, poorly reproducible, and cross-component defects to pinpoint root causes.
- Analyze test results, system logs, and user feedback to identify recurring architectural and quality issues.
- Formulate test strategies and apply risk-based methodologies to safely navigate release cycles.
- Collaborate with developers and product managers to define expected behaviors when clear specifications are absent.
What you bring
- Proven experience testing complex, multi-component systems with end-to-end and integration testing.
- Strong practical knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
- Track record leading QA initiatives and designing test strategies across multiple release cycles.
- Ability to read and debug code (Java or Kotlin preferred) to troubleshoot underlying issues.
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and test infrastructure such as Docker, Kubernetes, or TeamCity.
