This position is ideal for a hands-on QA leader who excels at bridging technical quality execution with business-critical outcomes.
What You Will Do • Design, build, and maintain enterprise-grade E2E test frameworks, CI integration pipelines, and test-data management systems for engineering teams. • Drive multi-tiered, continuous automated regression testing strategies alongside structured pre-release and exploratory testing programs. • Define and enforce release quality policies, risk-based deployment gates, and automated test suite criteria to safeguard production releases. • Establish clear testing guidelines and platform standards, enabling application engineers to write and execute robust feature tests. • Coordinate cross-functional bug triage, defect lifecycle management, and post-release quality reviews to drive continuous process improvements. • Translate complex software quality metrics into actionable business health signals and operational reporting for executive leadership.
What You Will Need • 8+ years of total experience in software quality engineering and test automation, including experience a team leadership or strategic management capacity. • Proven track record of scaling test automation platforms, CI/CD integrations, and flaky-test management policies across multi-service SaaS products. • Demonstrated experience designing tiered regression strategies that maintain fast deployment velocity without compromising quality coverage. • Strong ability to communicate technical software issues in terms of business impact and user experience to non-technical stakeholders. • Experience operating in agile, fast-paced shipping environments with rapid feature turnarounds and evolving specifications. • Deep conviction in quality governance and the authority to confidently evaluate and gate releases when quality standards are not met.
