This role is for a Senior Engineering - Leader who owns Quality across a large engineering organization. You are not running a traditional QA function—you are responsible for embedding quality into how 250 engineers build, test, and ship software.
You will drive an automation-first, AI-enabled quality strategy, ensuring teams own quality end-to-end while maintaining a high bar for reliability, performance, and customer experience.
You are expected to challenge engineers, product managers, and senior stakeholders when quality is at risk. You do not trade quality for speed—you enable both.
You are expected to be on the tools and lead by example
What You’ll Own
Quality as an Engineering Discipline
- Make quality a core engineering responsibility, not a downstream QA activity
- Embed testing into design, development, and deployment workflows
- Drive a strong “shift-left” culture across all teams
- Define what “good quality” looks like and ensure it is consistently met
Automation & AI-Driven Testing
- Establish automation as the default across all layers (unit, API, integration, E2E)
- Drive adoption of AI-assisted testing (test generation, flakiness detection, intelligent coverage)
- Ensure all tests are integrated into CI/CD pipelines with quick feedback loops
- Continuously improve coverage, reliability, and execution speed at scale
Engineering Leadership & Standards
- Set and enforce quality standards, test strategies, and release criteria
- Define and track key metrics (defect leakage, coverage, MTTR, pipeline health)
- Own quality gates and block releases when standards are not met
- Lead root cause analysis and systemic improvements
Influencing & Driving Accountability
- Work directly with senior engineers and tech leads to improve quality practices
- Push back on delivery
