Quality Strategy And Architecture

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Define and own the testing pyramid across unit, integration, component, E2E, contract, and accuracy regression layers.
Audit Abacus, Harmony.
Set coverage and quality gates by repo/component risk tier and drive engineering alignment.
Define testable-by-design patterns such as dependency injection, interface boundaries, and shift-left test 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 DL/engineering teams to make model accuracy regression a first-class release gate.
Define rapid vs full regression strategies and thresholds for PRs vs main branch releases.
Ensure quality gates are visible, stable, and trusted by engineering teams.

Metrics, SLOs And Reliability

Build and own quality metrics: coverage, defect escape rate, accuracy per speciality, alert volume, code quality score, and reliability trends.
Define SLOs for AQM accuracy,



Abacus processing reliability, and Harmony latency with clear error budgets and alert thresholds.
Lead defect retrospectives and ensure every escaped defect results in a test, monitor, or process improvement.
Partner on canary accuracy monitoring, incident-response quality bar, 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 quality is built in, not tested in across engineering.
Partner with 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/Lead level or equivalent scope.
Strong hands-on automation depth across at least two test frameworks, including pytest and/or Java-based frameworks such as JUnit/TestNG.
