Head of Quality

Who We Are

WorldRemit is one of the largest and most successful FinTech start-ups in Europe. Headquartered in the UK with around 800 employees and significant offices in the USA, Poland and the Philippines, the company has raised more than $300m in funding, including $175m from its existing investors, in April 2019. 

WorldRemit’s platform makes it easier, faster and safer to transfer money between countries. Our typical customer sends their money from larger, more developed economies to their friends and family in the developing world. Accessible via mobile app or website, international transfers can be made to a bank account, cash pickup, Mobile Money, or airtime top-up. We send to more than 145 countries and the number is growing all the time.

WorldRemit’s platform connects hundreds of banks, money agents, mobile operators and payment systems around the world. These were never designed to work together, but WorldRemit makes it happen. 

The journey is just beginning. We believe in faster, simpler, lower-cost money transfers. That means building beautiful products and better services for our customers. Changing the world isn’t easy – so we only hire the most talented people. You need to think differently, believe in new solutions to old problems, and have the drive to make them happen.

The WorldRemit Office in Kraków is currently growing and we are looking for a Head of Quality to help us continue to develop and maintain the World’s best quality products for our customers.

The Role

The WorldRemit Engineering team sits at the heart of the organisation and is critical to ensure continuing evolution of our software and facilitating design and execution of product features and capabilities – both to better serve our customers and to stay on the forefront of innovation. The Engineering Team at WorldRemit is (currently) a 110-strong organisation located in two main software development centers in London and Kraków, Poland.

The role will be based in Kraków, Poland and reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) who is based in our London HQ office.  Given the significant growth of the team over the last year, this is a newly created position aimed at focusing on the three areas: quality assurance management, people management of QA personnel and “Healthy Systems” backlog ownership for the global organisation.  

The main responsibilities

  • Hold ownership of strategic direction of Quality principles and practices.
  • Build and improve test strategies, test frameworks, and test implementation across API, Web and Mobile platforms.  
  • Work closely with Architects, Product Owners and Engineering teams to maintain alignment and ensure appropriate test focus.
  • Represent a strong vision for quality for the Product Owners and Engineering teams, driving practices that continuously improve product quality and customer value.
  • Select and rollout test tools across engineering teams.
  • Manage test infrastructure in partnership with Engineering and DevOps groups to ensure sufficient available test infrastructu
