We are looking for a Staff SDET / Senior Quality Engineer to become the senior quality engineering owner for Arintra's productivity team. This role goes beyond writing tests. You will define how quality is built, owning test strategy, CI/CD quality gates, accuracy regression checks, SLO thinking, quality metrics, and testing standards across engineering. You will mentor SDET-1s and work closely with AI agents and DevEx engineers to build a strong, scalable quality engineering function.

The Core Responsibilities For The Job

Include The Following Quality Strategy and Architecture: Define and own the testing pyramid across unit, integration, component, E2E, contract, and accuracy regression layers.

Set coverage and quality gates based on repository/component risk tiers.

Drive engineering alignment on quality standards.

Define testable-by-design patterns such as dependency injection, interface boundaries, and shift-left testing requirements. CI/CD Quality And Accuracy Gates Own CI/CD quality gates, including static analysis, coverage enforcement, component/E2E checks, and accuracy regression checks.

Partner with Data/ML and Engineering teams to make model accuracy regression a first-class release gate.

Define quick vs. full regression strategies and thresholds for PRs and main-branch releases.

Ensure quality gates are visible, stable, and trusted by engineering teams. Metrics, SLOs, And Reliability Build and own quality metrics, including coverage, defect escape rate, accuracy by specialty, alert volume, code quality score, and reliability trends.

Lead defect retrospectives and ensure every escaped defect results in a test, monitoring improvement, or process change.

Partner on canary accuracy monitoring, incident-response quality standards, and SRE/AI feedback loops.

Leadership And Mentorship

Mentor SDETs through structured reviews, code reviews, and development planning.





Influence engineers across squads without relying on reporting authority.

Champion a quality-is-built-in, not tested-in, engineering culture.

Partner with the AI Agents Engineer to evaluate and improve the Testing Agent.

Requirements 7+ years of SDET/QA engineering experience, including at least 2 years at staff, principal, or lead level, or equivalent scope.

Strong hands-on automation experience across at least two test frameworks, including pytest and/or Java-based frameworks such as JUnit/TestNG.

Strong Java and Spring understanding with the ability to read application code, identify testability issues, and meaningfully review test design.

Hands-on ownership of CI/CD quality pipelines, including writing CI YAML, configuring required checks, and debugging pipeline/test infrastructure issues.

Experience with static analysis and quality tools such as SonarQube, mypy, pylint, Checkstyle, SpotBugs, or equivalent.

Experience with contract and component testing for distributed services.

Strong experience with Docker and containerized test environments.

Experience defining a test strategy from scratch for inherited systems and driving remediation using data.

Experience with ML/model regression, accuracy evaluation, or data-heavy correctness testing.

Strong SQL and BigQuery skills for defect analysis, trend analysis, accuracy/reliability correlation, and dashboard validation.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to present quality health risks and recommendations to engineering leadership using data.

Nice To Have

Healthcare, medical coding, or other regulated/high-accuracy domain experience.

Experience with Playwright, Selenium, and large E2E test suites.

Experience with SLOs, error budgets, chaos/fault injection, or reliability testing.

Experience integrating AI-assisted testing or code-review workflows.

Experience building or owning quality dashboards using Looker, Metabase, Grafana, or similar tools.
