About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Quality Lead to own quality strategy and execution for our Windows desktop application.
You will solve the hardest quality problems in native desktop software: performance under load, memory and CPU
pressure, and inter-process communication. You'll be the person who connects test rigor to what actually matters for
users and the business.
What You'll Do
Team Leadership
– Lead, mentor, and grow a team of QEs — set testing standards, review test plans, and build a culture of ownership and technical depth across the team
– Own testing for complex areas leading to healthy feature releases
– Drive test strategy across manual and automated coverage, balancing near-term release needs with long-term quality investment
– Partner with engineering leads and managers to embed quality thinking early in the development cycle, not just at the release gate
Windows Desktop Quality Ownership
– Own testing strategy for a native Windows desktop application, with deep hands-on expertise in Windows-specific testing challenges — process architecture,
multi-window behavior, OS-level integrations, and installer/update flows
– Design and execute test strategies for performance and memory — profiling under sustained use, catching leaks and regressions before they reach production
– Proactively design and build test scenarios that simulate memory and CPU-constrained conditions — low- resource devices, competing background processes, sustained high-load sessions — to validate the app degrades gracefully rather than crashing, hanging, or corrupting state under pressure
– Own testing for inter-process communication (IPC) — validating correctness, timing, and failure modes across multi-process architectures (e.g., sandboxed/broker processes), including process lifecycle, crash recovery, and message-passing reliability under resource pressure
– Partner with engineering to identify and validate optimization opportunities that improve the app's behavior under
