Delivery Lead – QA (Legacy .NET | Financial Services)

Locations: Dallas, TX | Pittsburgh, PA | Cleveland, OH
Employment Type: Full-time, W2 (No sponsorship available)

About the Role

Techstra Solutions is seeking an experienced Delivery Lead with strong QA leadership to oversee a mission-critical testing program supporting a legacy .NET application within a large financial institution.

This role owns end-to-end QA delivery—from planning through release readiness—across a complex, highly regulated environment. You’ll be accountable for quality outcomes, delivery predictability, and risk management while navigating aging systems, multiple stakeholders, and strict regulatory expectations.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who blends delivery management discipline, hands-on QA leadership, and deep experience with legacy enterprise platforms.

What You’ll Do

Delivery & Program Leadership

• Own end-to-end delivery of QA initiatives for a legacy .NET application

• Build and manage delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, and risk registers

• Drive execution across functional, integration, regression, UAT, and release-support testing

• Proactively manage risks tied to legacy architecture, environments, data, and tooling constraints

QA Strategy & Execution

• Partner with QA Architects and senior testers to define pragmatic testing strategies for 20+ year-old systems

• Ensure test coverage meets financial-grade quality and regulatory standards

• Oversee defect lifecycle management, triage, prioritization, and remediation tracking

• Balance manual vs. automated testing based on system maturity and timelines

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Act as the primary QA delivery contact for technology, business, compliance, and risk teams

• Communicate QA status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to senior and executive stakeholders

• Facilitate release readiness decisions and quality threshold discussions

• Build trust through transparent reporting and predictable delivery

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Ensure QA processes align with audit, regulatory, and internal risk requirements

• Maintain test documentation, execution evidence, and formal sign-offs

• Support internal and external audits with clear testing artifacts

Team Leadership

• Lead and coordinate onshore/offshore QA teams and vendor partners

• Set clear expectations for roles, deliverables, and accountability

• Coach QA leads and testers on delivery discipline and legacy system best practices

• Promote a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in software delivery, QA leadership, or program management roles

• Proven experience leading QA-centric delivery for large, complex enterprise systems

• Strong background with legacy .NET applications (monolithic systems, batch jobs, integrations)

• Experience in financial services or regulated environments

• Demonstrated ability to manage risk and dependencies in high-stakes production systems

• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with commercial banking or core financial platforms

• Exposure to Agile and/or Waterfall delivery in legacy environments

• Understanding of CI/CD challenges and incremental modernization

• Experience managing QA vendors or consulting partners

How Success Is Measured

• Predictable, on-time QA delivery with clear risk visibility

• Increased release confidence and reduced production defects

• Strong stakeholder trust in QA reporting and recommendations

• Effective coordination of QA resources with minimal business disruption
