Job description
- Define and own the long-term quality engineering strategy and test architecture for large-scale distributed systems spanning multiple product areas and engineering organizations
- Design and build scalable, reusable test automation frameworks and infrastructure that can be adopted broadly to improve reliability, coverage, and developer productivity
- Lead cross-functional quality initiatives by partnering with product engineering, platform, and infrastructure teams to identify systemic quality gaps and drive resolution at the root cause level
- Establish and evangelize standards for test design across unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and fault-injection testing methodologies
- Develop and own quality metrics, dashboards, and reporting systems that provide actionable signal on product health, test coverage, and release readiness
- Evaluate and improve CI/CD pipeline quality gates, staged rollout validation processes, and feature flagging strategies to reduce production incidents and improve deployment confidence
- Identify systemic reliability, scalability, and performance issues through root cause analysis and drive proactive improvements to test coverage and signal fidelity
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers across quality and product engineering teams, elevating the overall test engineering craft across the organization
- Influence engineering roadmaps and architectural decisions by advocating for testability, observability, and quality as first-class engineering requirements
- Drive adoption of quality engineering practices across the organization through documentation, tooling, and cross-team enablement programs
Requirements
- Bachelorβs degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of experience in software development engineering in test, quality engineering, or software engineering with a focus on test infrastructure and automation
- Experience designing and implementing large-scale test automation frameworks and CI/CD quality pipelines for distributed systems
- Experience defining quality strategy and driving adoption of testing methodologies across multiple engineering teams or product areas
- Experience with performance testing, reliability engineering, or fault-injection testing for high-scale production systems
- Experience communicating quality strategy and engineering decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders through written proposals and cross-functional alignment, * Demonstrated history of influencing engineering culture and practices at an organizational level through tooling, standards, or enablement programs
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience building test infrastructure and quality tooling that spans mobile, web, and backend systems within a single product ecosystem
- Experience with observability platforms, production monitoring, and using telemetry data to inform test coverage and quality signal
- Experience applying static analysis, fuzzing, or model-based testing techniques to improve defect detection in complex software systems
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
