About Us

At KingMakers, we’re not here to follow the industry; we’re here to shape it. We’re redefining sports and gaming entertainment across Africa, creating platforms that bring millions of users closer to the games and experiences they love.

Since 2018, we’ve grown rapidly to become one of the key players in the region, recognized for redefining the industry and setting the stage for what’s next.

About the Role

We’re looking for a QA Architect to lead the next evolution of our Quality Engineering practice. This is a high-impact, technical leadership role where you'll define how we think about, measure, and build for quality across the company.

From embedding quality earlier in the development cycle, to bringing AI into our QA tooling, to mentoring engineers across teams, you’ll drive a transformation in how quality is built, owned, and scaled.

This is not a traditional QA role. You won’t just test the product, you’ll architect the systems, strategies, and culture that allow quality to be a shared responsibility across every squad.

What you will be doing

Strategic QA Leadership:

  • Define and lead a modern QA strategy aligned with CI/CD and DevOps principles.
  • Drive a “shift-left” mindset, embedding quality early in the development process.
  • Lead cross-team initiatives to evolve automation, release readiness, and mobile testing practices.

Tooling & AI Innovation:

  • Evaluate and implement the right test automation frameworks (unit, integration, E2E, performance).
  • Integrate AI tools to improve test generation, triage, root cause analysis, and stability.
  • Build clear QA metrics and dashboards to track and improve quality over time.

Mentorship & Enablement:

  • Guide and mentor QA engineers and developers in best practices for testing and quality ownership.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and DevOps to align on test environments, data strategies, and mocking practices.
  • Foster a culture where every engineer is empowered to build quality into what they deliver.

Requirements

What you need for this role

  • Proven experience as a QA Architect, Senior QA Engineer, or SDET Lead in an engineering-driven environment.
  • Deep understanding of QA processes, SDLC, CI/CD, and modern DevOps workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with automation frameworks across web and mobile (Selenium Grid, Playwright, Appium).
  • Strong coding skills in JavaScript or TypeScript.
  • Experience building test strategies for microservices, APIs, frontends, and native apps.
  • Comfortable influencing without authority and collaborating across multiple teams.
  • Passion for developer experience and driving quality as a first-class priority.

Nice to Have

  • Experience using GenAI or ML for testing automation and insights.
  • Familiarity with test impact analysis, continuous testing, and phased rollouts.
  • Knowledge of feature flagging systems, A/B testing, and release automation.
  • A background in high-speed product teams or fast-paced startup environments.
