Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrja Straus is a quality engineering leader with 14+ years of hands-on experience designing testing strategies, building teams, and embedding quality early in the product lifecycle. Currently leading software testing for electronic components at Jungheinrich and running her own consultancy, she blends pragmatic test automation with context- and risk-driven exploratory practices. She has repeatedly scaled QA teams across regions, introduced Playwright and meaningful automation coverage, and established communities of practice to spread modern testing culture. Comfortable switching between individual contributor, product manager, and people-leader roles, she drives collaboration between product, engineering and stakeholders to shorten feedback loops. Notably, she pivoted teams away from “execution at the end” to integrated quality workflows and achieved measurable automation gains from zero baseline. Based in Zagreb, she pairs deep testing craft with a consultant’s mindset for practical, sustainable quality improvements.
