QA Lead

About Lokal

Lokal is India’s leading vernacular hyperlocal platform, built for the next billion users across Bharat. We help millions of users discover local information, jobs, opportunities, communities, and services through regional-language experiences.

As our products and user journeys scale across multiple platforms and use cases, we’re looking for a QA Lead Engineer who can take end-to-end ownership of quality and help us build a scalable, automation-first QA culture.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, and other stakeholders to ensure that quality is built into the product—not tested in only at the end.

What You'll Own

• Own the overall QA strategy, test architecture, and quality standards across Lokal's consumer-facing products.
• Drive end-to-end quality for mobile applications across Android and iOS, along with APIs and backend integrations.
• Define and implement robust test strategies, test plans, release criteria, and sign-off processes for critical product journeys.
• Lead the design, development, and maintenance of automation frameworks and regression suites.
• Identify critical user journeys and progressively improve automation coverage to increase release confidence and speed.
• Establish effective functional, regression, exploratory, usability, localization, integration, and performance testing practices.
