We are seeking a Head of Software Quality and Technology to define and lead the

critical leadership role responsible for transforming how quality is built, measured, and

Partnering closely with Quality Verification (QV), Development, and Central EA teams, you

will ensure that quality is engineered into the product, enabling rapid iteration without

compromising player experience.

You will report to the Head of Apex QV and be a key member of the Apex quality leadership

team.

experience, retention, and engagement outcomes.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in software quality, quality engineering, or software

development, with progressive leadership responsibility.

• Proven track record leading large, multidisciplinary QA/QE teams in high-scale,

live or continuously delivered environments.

• Strong technical background in test automation, CI/CD, performance
