About the role

We’re looking for a QA-driven Project Owner — someone who’s spent at least 2–3 years in QA roles and is now ready to own the delivery process end to end. You’ll be responsible for verifying implementation quality, catching issues early, managing timelines, and ensuring that no feature goes live without your green light.

There is no separate QA team — you’ll be the last line of defense. That means you’ll test manually, manage delivery, push developers when needed, and ensure product specs are followed to the letter.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the quality owner across all product releases — nothing goes live without your review.

• Conduct thorough manual QA (UX, UI, logic, edge cases, responsiveness).

• Convert product specs into detailed development tickets (in plane.so).

• Prioritize and manage the backlog to ensure smooth sprint execution.

• Track progress, unblock delays, and ensure deadlines are met.

• Communicate status, blockers, and release readiness to stakeholders.

• Maintain documentation of testing processes, bug reports, and spec alignment.

• Own release checklists and coordinate deployments/rollbacks when needed.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of QA experience in fast-paced product teams.

• Experience in both manual functional testing and UI/UX validation.

• Basic understanding of APIs, browser dev tools, and mobile testing.

• 1–2 years of project/delivery management experience or demonstrated ownership of task execution.

• Familiarity with PM tools (e.g., plane.so, Notion, JIRA, Trello).

• Excellent organizational skills and ability to prioritize across multiple projects.

• Ability to confidently push back when quality would be compromised.

• Clear, concise communicator — especially around specs and bugs.

Nice to have

• Experience in consumer-facing apps or SaaS products.

• Understanding of A/B test implementation or release toggles.

• Familiarity with component-based front-end systems.

• Experience working closely with designers and engineers.

Ruby Labs operates within the CET (Central European Time) zone. Applicants from any country are welcome to apply for the position as long as they are located within approximately ± 4 hours of CET. This ensures optimal collaboration and communication during working hours.
