Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefan Teixeira is a Quality Engineering leader and architect with 12 years of hands-on experience and a 15+ year mindset in e-commerce and mission-critical systems, now serving as Head of QA at Groupon from Rio de Janeiro. He has repeatedly scaled QA functions—leading teams of 10–15+ engineers—while defining test strategy, CI/CD pipelines, and career frameworks that became squad-wide standards. Stefan blends deep technical chops (Playwright, Pact, Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub Actions, Grafana, Lighthouse-ci) with product-focused practices like accessibility, SEO testing, visual regression and performance auditing. He’s equally comfortable mentoring and hiring, having driven interview, onboarding and promotion programs and designed learning paths from interns to principals. Early in his career he rescued neglected CI ecosystems and introduced automated coverage across varied stacks (Scala, Ruby on Rails, Java, JS), a pattern he continues to replicate at scale. His background in both QA and DevOps gives him a rare ability to translate quality goals into observable, automated delivery pipelines.
